RAPBOOST Q&A

When did you start rapping?

I wrote my first rhyme at the age of 13yrs.

How old are you?

25yrs, but I turn 26 next Sunday on 21st of March.

Where are you from?

Inglewood, CA (city of CHAMPIONS)

Explain to us where your name “Ken-ten” evolved from and how it came about?

“KEN-TEN” is actually an acronym for “KEN-ON-TEN”, Ken is short for my first name Kenneth and Ten symbolizes me being ten toes down in everything I do! The name was initially my Snapchat username.

What 3 artist would you like to do a feature with?

Kanye West, Travis Scott, and lastly Drake!!!

How would you say the rap scene is in LA ? Any fellow LA artist you like to shout out as well? 

The rap scene in LA is going through Renaissance right now!

There are so many NEW talented upcoming artists who redefining the west coast sound by breaking the gangsta-rap stereotypes placed on LA artists. Shoutout to Maxxatrillion, .AM, Uknokenny, Rakeem Miles, MyFavoriteColor, and lastly my BIG bro OHG Jay!!!

Listen: Ken Ten - Mr Right

What do you look for in production when listening to beats?

When it comes to production I tend to look for beats that speak to me. I have to be moved spiritually in order to write. My creative process is really personal and intimate.

Which artists would you compare yourself too?

Imagine a rapper with the talent and star power of Michael Jackson, the stage presence and attitude of Prince, the charisma and good looks of Muhammad Ali, but the lyrical content and substance of Tupac Shakur. Mix all four of them together and you get me (KEN-TEN)!!!

Can we expect any new music videos in the future?

Yessir, I will be dropping a visual next month for my brand NEW upcoming Single “OUTSIDE”

Your new single is tuff. Can you Explain to us how this track came about ?

Ironically enough I actually wrote this song when LA country was put under quarantine. It seems fitting that I drop the video for it now that we will finally be out of quarantine come this Monday!

Listen: Ken Ten - Hallelujah

What can we expect from you around this time next year?

You can expect two brand NEW self titled EP’s and plenty of visuals from both projects to be released consecutively! It’s a NEW-WEST-ORDER!!! 🔥🌎🔥
