Kennz
What up yall. A few of you may remember me as Rapture...from back in the days when battling was the business. Now you are looking at and listening to the same cat with a new name and a new sound. Life experiences have helped evolve the backpacking sound into one of versatility. Kennz is the name & life is the game I play. We all have our own strengths which will help get us to where we want to be, I hope you enjoy my gift and I also hope it can inspire my audience in one way or another.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I can freestyle...I can do a little somethin simple on the drums and a lil somethin simple on the keyboard. I just started to ef with the bass guitar, but that sh** hurts my fingers after a while so i might leave it alone.
Your musical influences
My dad was a drummer and he took me to all sorts of gigs and rehearsals so i generally like all types of music, but of course my main love is hip-hop
What equipment do you use?
Roland 1880 Digital Recorder & fruity loops
Anything else?
I would please like feedback. i dont want to put any BS out there so if you would give me some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, i would appreciate it
