About K-KEN

My name is Kenneth Russell aka K-Ken born 12/05/1979 in Chicago Illinois. Raised in the Chicago Housing Projects formerly known as the Robert Brooks Extension Housing Projects. Born to Kenneth Russell Sr. and Ernestine Russell aka Cookie. I really got into this rap game in 6th grade at John M. Smith Elementary School on the Westside of Chicago. Spittin rhymes and beating on the lunchroom tables. As time grew I grew a passion for making and producing beats and writing rhymes. At the age of 15 1/2 my moms sent me to Ohio because I was trying to live that street life of gangs, drugs and violence. I was sent on my way to Cincinnati Job Corps where I got my diploma and learned a trade as well. At the age of 19 my father died in the Joliet state prison system and that just made me want to go even harder and fufill his dreams and the gift that him and God instilled in me from birth. I found the love of my life and my number 1 fan Keneisha who I married in 2006. I have three wonderful kids who are my heart (Harmony, Jaylind, and Keziah). Support from them is incredible and they are my inspiration. So my main focus as K-Ken is to release all my inner energy and unknown invisible powers of the ghetto is to gain the industry heart to persuade my crowds and future fans. To just listen to what I have to say because money, love, power, sex is all a fear to one man's game but I speak life, truth, realness, and the essence of a God given birth to cop this game by any means necessary
