GTK: KenTheMan
Y'all know here at Zeal and Pristine, we love to see the ladies winning in the music scene, especially Rap. We have talked about Dess Dior, Lebra Jolie, and Lakeyah. Today, we are putting you on game with KenTheMan, an ebony goddess who has the power in her flow that will make you boss up or simply, melt you.
To find this emcee, you have to go down to Houston, Texas. That's KenTheMan's home, the city that made her, and the same place where she wrote her hit, He Be Like. Back in 2019, the artist was hustling working for Doordash when she wrote the song.
KenTheMan told HIPHOPDX how she almost gave up on the song because she wasn't feeling it.“I was tired of re-recording and I didn’t like the way I sounded. I was like, ‘You gon’ just have to mix it ’cause I’m tired of dealing with it.’ I was tired of it,"
She also mentions how she didn't think she would be able to leave Doordash, but Ken was getting booked once that song hit the airwaves. It kept getting better after that too, once the pandemic hit, it looked to be a blessing in disguise for Ken. She was able to focus on her music and put out her project this past fall.
4 da 304's is ten tracks that are as strong and powerful as she is. KenTheMan slides on the beats with ease, you can hear her confidence. She is blunt and nasty with it, this definitely isn't for the shy ones.
Ken talks about sex, putting these men in their place, and only reaching out to men so they can please her. Don't get comfortable ladies, cause she g-checked the females too. Especially the ones who smile in her face but be on the net sneak dissing.
The H-Town artist also made it clear that she is about her business, "I ain't even touching a million I ain't even reaching my peak." Ken says on the opening track Try Me,
