Turning Rejection Into Fuel For Art

Chicago doesn’t let you get comfortable—and that’s the point. We sit down with K.E.N (Killing Every Note) to trace a path from grade-school poetry recitals to genre-bending records, hard-earned stage chops, and a mindset tuned to resilience over approval. He’s reading The Courage to Be Disliked and living it out loud: letting go of instant validation, choosing intention over attention, and treating discomfort as a cue to level up.
K.E.N breaks down the craft like a technician. He talks flow pockets, syllable choices, and how fast rap only works when it’s melodic and clear. We get inside his performance philosophy—how the best sets start with reading the room, rehearsing with purpose, and building a moment people feel long after the last hook. Then we dig into the making of Limitations, a rock-leaning track that clicked only after he brought in Voxy the Artist to scream on the record and arranged those textures like instruments. It’s a lesson in serving the song instead of ego.
We also explore why local artists often stand in their own way, how to keep releasing when early responses are quiet, and why numbers mean more when pulled back into real-life scale. And yes, we go deep on the enduring power of Fuck That Nine To Five—why it resonates in every room, how he softened the delivery without losing bite, and what a two-plus-year push taught him about patience and payoff. Along the way, K.E.N shares what’s next: a collab with Rhymster, teaching hip-hop at a Wicker Park school, a CAN TV performance, and a mysterious “draft number six.”

Yo, what the deal is. Welcome back to the Shits Podcast. But we are either shooting the shit, starting some shit, or picking up what shit left off. I'm your host, and DJ, DJ Monsoon, Thorata Dopes, DJ, and the Dopus host you've heard thus far. Yo, and on the Shits Podcast this week we have a very special guest to the podcast. Um I want to say, I want to say this individual is special because I had a chance to check and perform it, check him out performing. And uh it was just a refreshing, a freshing, refreshing take on hip-hop and uh just being artistic, period. So um I had to have him on the podcast. So he's a dope MC, he's a dope performer, and I know he got a lot more to him. I'm I'm not even giving it justice. So I'm I'm I'm gonna let him come on and say what he got going on. So with no further ado, I want y'all to give it up for the one, the only K E N. What up, fam? What's going on, man? Chilling, bro. I'm chilling, chilling, chilling.
SPEAKER_02:How you feeling? Um man, I'm I'm feeling blessed. Bro, I'm just you know, happy to be alive and to be on this side of the earth is always a blessing. So, you know, I take everything with a grain of salt and just keep moving with that mentality.
SPEAKER_06:There you go. That's a smart move. Very smart move. Uh, I see you got the uh you got the chicken in the ear, man. Uh yeah, goose.
SPEAKER_12:Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_06:The goose. I see that's that's dope. That's dope. So um we are we we like to do a check-in with our guest uh on the show, man. So since you are the phenomenal guest this week, uh, we're gonna do a check-in with you. I want to ask you, what are you working on? When I ask what you're working on, I don't mean like music-wise or like art-wise. I mean like what are you working on like mentally, what are you working on emotionally?
SPEAKER_02:For sure. Um, you know, perfect question to be honest. I just started reading this new book. Um, it's called The Courage to Be Disliked. Um, oh and it's it's a very interesting um read. I I just got into it so I'm the first um couple chapters right now, but it's uh basically it's uh psychology um of how to go about life getting the most out of it and achieving happiness um within a state of oneself versus um external validations. Um so it's you know it's breaking down some of the concepts that we as humans have been conditioned to way before we were even you know created in our realities um and how to break those. So you know, I'm always trying to work on you know my mental mindset and how I react to things versus trying to fix the things that's happening to me because you know things are gonna happen regardless, but none of that has any inherent meaning unless we give it. That's I applaud you, bro. Uh and what's the name of that book again? It's called the the um courage to be disliked. You can actually just search it on Google and get a free PDF.
SPEAKER_06:Get the fuck out of here.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, it's you know, a lot of these um books, they're very accessible. And uh I think it's just up to us to go seek them out.
SPEAKER_06:Okay, I like that. I like them the courage to be disliked. I like that shit. Sounds like the Republicans uh guidebook nowadays. You feel me?
SPEAKER_02:They're taking it way too far.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah. So um my first question to you, man, is where are you from?
SPEAKER_02:I'm from Chicago, Illinois. Um, it's my my birthplace, my home, as far as I'm concerned. Um, you know, bred, it grew, it grew me, created who I am, the good, the bad, the ugly. Uh, I love Chicago for sure.
SPEAKER_06:Okay. Okay, so do you believe, do you believe that Chicago has made you into the person that you are today?
SPEAKER_02:100%. You know, um, I think just as a person and you know, a music artist in the totality, if you can survive Chicago, um, you really got uh the ability to thrive everywhere else, you know. And I choose those words very specifically because you know, Chicago, with as much love as you do get, it does um it does test you in in the the greatest ways, depending on how you look at it, back to the book, you know, how you perceive it. Um, and and it really just puts you in a mindset of how to be strong-willed, strong-minded, um, dedicated, um, sure of yourself, you know, it's it's it's a lovely city, when it but it's not an easy city.
SPEAKER_06:No, I agree with you, and you know what? Uh my my boy Tron, he always says that uh uh uncomfortability breeds change. So when you become uncomfortable, then you just feel like I gotta change shit. And I say that to say with Chicago, I think that's what Chicago does. Chicago, Chicago doesn't, in my opinion, Chicago doesn't allow uh its residents to become too comfortable. For sure. Like even with the change of the seasons, like like this week is today's mid-60. Tomorrow it might be it might be 10 below, goddammit. You know what I'm saying? I believe that kind of that kind of stuff just breeds us to be stronger people because we know, well, fuck it, I gotta throw on a big coat tomorrow. You know what I'm saying? Or today it was like, oh shit, I can wear the small jacket, whatever the case may be. But I think that it it does, this city it makes you stronger because it consistently forces you to change, or at least change the way you think about shit. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_02:For sure. Um adaptability, you know, it's it's the biggest. Um I think it's the it's the biggest effect of Chicago. It it teaches you how to be on your feet constantly and and how to roll with the punches, essentially, you know.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I agree. I definitely agree. Um, so why the name K.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, man. So I've gone through so many um iterations of my artist name and really trying to find my identity and you know what I feel like represents me, but also understand the metrics of how to market yourself. Um so I you know it's uh prefix uh prefix. There we go. Back to Roman school. Prefix the name. And um it stems from the malt the multiple different variations. I I used to go by Big Can because um Big Sean was my favorite rapper for a strong period of my life. Um I went by, I'm embarrassed to say this, gosh, um K Sizzle, I think it was like many years. My bad. Honestly saying, My bad, bro. Y'all good. Um, so then you know, I I look I looked at certain artists who use parts of their name or their middle name um as their stage name, you know, yeah, like a Drake, for example. Um, and people used to always call me Ken, regardless. So something that was very familiar with people, and I wanted to find a way just to be creative with it, you know, it's a talking point. So uh I came up with the acronym Killing Every Note. Um, you know, just to yeah, kind of be a little different. Yeah. Okay. So it used to be actually killing every nigga, but again, this goes back to the markability, right? Uh and being commercial and the type of brand that I am. I wanted to find something that had a little softer tone and you know didn't have such um racial and uh I always say this word wrong, but you get the A word, and ambiguity, yeah. And and and fuck, we innocent. Right, but who made that word? Right. Um without that, you know what I'm saying? So I so killing every note came in, and then you know, I came up with like a slogan for it, k.n, killing every note, the god level goat. People love rhymes, um, simple rhymes like that. So it kind of just really fit, you know. I just I ran with something and and had an idea and I pushed it, you know. Um, fun fact actually, the God level goat is more of a tagline that's connected to my stage name, which is K.E.N. But for a long time, at least two or three years, my peers had an issue with accepting that name from me. Um anytime you self-proclaim yourself as something that is the upper echelon, uh people will have a problem with that sometimes. So that's that's not what you know it took it took about three years, but then they finally came around and and and now you know fix um people they they they they like it and it works, so you know we're wrong. Yeah, not that I would have changed it if they didn't like it, but you know, it helps when they do.
SPEAKER_06:Exactly. I think like I I think it works, man, and I think that's your persona, like real shit, like your persona, every like everything fits. You see what I'm saying? And so with with the name, I ain't know the name meant uh killing every note. That's dope. And I'm like, I'm big on acronyms, you know what I'm saying? Like, I've been big on acronyms since I've since I started rhyming. Like, I feel like it's so much that you can do with it. So like nowadays, the acronym that I that I damn near live by is uh Change, C-H-A-N-G-E. And I look at that as conflict helps and nurtures growth eventually. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, so I'm I'm I'm big on acronyms, so I love that. I love that a lot, bro.
SPEAKER_02:Uh even the podcast is an acronym, if I'm not mistaken, right?
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, some hip individuals thinking then speaking. Yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_02:So, you know, yeah, that's dope.
SPEAKER_06:I love that. Appreciate it, appreciate it. So, how did you get introduced to uh Chicago hip hop?
SPEAKER_02:Oh man, um, sorry, I've been fidgeting with this chain that I brought from the beauty supply store, you know, when the diamonds for show, you feel me? Like, I don't want the ain't no shame in my game, you know what I'm saying? Uh so to ask your question, uh Chicago hip hop um actually kind of found me. Um it came through the lineage of what hip hop is. Um poetry was the start for me, to be honest. I did poetry in elementary school. Um, but I I didn't even do my own poetry, it's crazy part. I was just a little abate lover. Langston Hughes was my favorite poet growing up, so I used to carry around one of his um poet books books when he just had the various different types of poems in there, and I used to used to read them all the time. And um, you know, I would do my little assemblies um in like fifth, sixth grade, um reciting some of his poems. One of my favorite was a poem called Hip Hair Shoes that he um wrote, and it became like my calling card when I was in elementary school or high school or something like that. But people used to call me Mr. Hip Hop Shoes um and just spawned my love for literature and um reading in general. So when I yeah, it was in elementary school. So when I moved to high school, freshman year, there is this guy named Caesar Miranda, I'll never forget him. Shout out Caesar, and he used to always go around and rap, but it wasn't his own raps, it was just other raps. I mean, he might do like looking back like little freestyles or whatever, a few lines at a time. But I remember being like, man, I could do better than that. And so I went home, took my little composition notebook, the black and white one, and I wrote my first rap. Um and I tore it out the book, and I would just run around high school reading it to anybody who would listen. And people actually really liked it. They liked that one. It was like, hey, this is pretty nice. I actually liked it. And so, you know, I'm like, cool, I'm gonna go write another one because you know you get positive feedback, you you want to keep going. So I wrote a second one, thinking like, hey, they they they they like that first one, they don't really like this one. Yeah, totally hated it.
SPEAKER_06:No, not at all, not at all.
SPEAKER_02:Not at all, totally hated it. And that's when I learned the started learning the nuances of just music and how and you know, people's response to certain things. That's just things people might like, they might not like. Um, that's just kind of how it goes, but it was very new to me, so it was like a it was a huge blow, but it enticed me, intrigued me. I wanted to do more, so I just started writing, just that's random verses. Um, started listening to music more. I used to go on YouTube because I couldn't afford Spotify or stuff and really didn't know about it. So I go on YouTube, and when a rapper dropped their albums, they usually dropped the playlist in YouTube. So I would just download all the songs off of YouTube onto my little MP3 player and then ordered them in the order of the album. I would have bought the album. And so I just started listening to more. Um Big Sean was the first mainstream artist I really started listening to. And from there, I just kind of started growing, you know, just kind of experienced um everything that you can experience. I get ciphers, I've gotten booed out of ciphers, I've gotten the mics snatched from me, um, all in the name of hip hop of just trying to improve my skills. But you know, it never like discouraged me. It's kind of pissed me off a little bit because I'm like, I I believe I'm I'm pretty good, actually. I wasn't back then, but I'm like, you know, relative. I like I believe I'm pretty good. Who are you? So it just kind of pushed me.
SPEAKER_06:And you know what? And and and just hearing that it makes me think about the whole concept of you have to see it first. Like everything, like like like whether you know it or not, like you probably seen where you was at, where you probably seen where you was at now, where you where you're at now. You get what I'm saying? You had to see something in in order for you to keep moving the way that you've been moving. You get what I'm saying? Like, and then and I think that that's what artists need to tap into is that vision. You know, like how how do you how do you how do you think you're gonna get anybody to walk behind you if you don't know where the fuck you're going, if you don't have an idea of where the fuck you're trying to go, you get what I'm saying? So I uh I'm a I'm a firm believer in people still want good music. I know I do. Um I'm I'm also a firm believer in people want to be entertained. Cause I know I want to be entertained when I go. Like, especially like now when you're going out in Chicago and it's fucking cold outside, or it's fucking snow on the ground, like you don't want to go to a spot and just be like, oh it's fucking you want to go somewhere and be like, hey, damn, that shit was dope. You know what I'm saying? That performance was dope, and and that's what I got from you, bro. Like, real shit. Like that's that that's what I got from you, and I I truly do commend you for that, man. Um I appreciate that. What do you think makes a good performer?
SPEAKER_02:Oh man, uh, I think there's so many things that goes into this because you know, I think a lot of people look at live performances and and and and and and these things and they and they judge off of this ideal of recorded music or you know, the the the song or um how the whatever components they look at that makes something good, and they don't look at the overall effect of what the person is doing. And I try to look at everything that they're doing, you know, the song choice that they made, um, the nuances in their performance, how into their own song are they, how much do they know the song? Are are are they well practiced in the recital, the reciting of the song and the performance together? Um, I don't really think that there's bad performers. I think they just miss certain concepts or components of the full ideal of what a performer is. Um, I think everything is relative to the space that you're in. Yeah. Good for this space. Is it it can be a good song, but if it can't even reach the people, it's not gonna be good, regardless of how good the song could be in any other setting. Um, are you having fun? Uh bad part, bro. That part. Are you creating an experience and an environment for the people there? Um, regardless of what type of music you make, you know? Um, so I think it's just being really thoughtful with the song that you're going to do and the performance that you're going to give, regardless if the music is my type of music or um, you know, the performance is my type of performance. I don't need to like it personally to think that it's good. Um, I think so. I yet to answer that. So a long story less long would be your intention, would be really what I think makes a good performer. It's understanding the basis of everything that you have to do in a performance, the space that you're in, the people you're performing for, um, the type of event it is, all these things, and giving the best version of yourself for that particular performance.
SPEAKER_06:That's dope. That's dope. Um, tell us about the single uh limitations.
SPEAKER_02:Yes, sir. Uh so limitations, man. I okay, fun facts or fun story, should I say it might not be fun, but it's fun for me. So fun enough. This producer on Instagram, who you know had hit me up before, has sent me some beat a beat pack, and you know, um, I listened to it, but nothing really stuck at that point in time. I don't think I was in a position to really write to those type of beats. So he hits me up about six months later, and you know, wants to send me another beat pack. And I was gonna have to write it off. But yeah, I'll get I'll get to you, bro. You know, again, I just wasn't in that mode. But this particular message was a little interesting. He had said he was taking a pause in his music career, and so he was like up uh uh hauling out all his beats for like insanely cheap prices, and not just the beats, like we're talking about exclusives, we're talking about synchronization licenses, like everything top to bottom, full ownership. Um, he does he doesn't even care if he's credited on the on the beat itself. Of course, he he retains his masters because that's just how instrumentals go. But I had everything else. I own the publishing, I own all the other rights, and so I end up getting about 30 beats, 2530 beats for about$96. Um, which with four rights is crazy, right? Yeah, crazy. So, you know, I'm I'm I'm just shuffling through the beats, and I'm really excited because not only I is this the first time was this the first time that I've was able to own all the licenses at once for a plethora of beats, um, but it was the first time that I was able to get synchronization, um, radio play, you know, you know, all these licenses that allows me to move my my music in other avenues. So limitations, the beat for that was one of the songs that came from knowing that pack. Um it was very rock-influenced, and I'm a hip-hop artist through and through. My brand is rap-heavy, um, lyricalness, bars, etc. So with this, I just wanted to like challenge myself, to be honest. Um, and the beat really spoke rock to me. So, of course, the natural thing I did was try to rap on it because that's I'm a rapper, you know. I don't care if it's rock, I'm a rap. Um, but it wasn't like it was cool, but it wasn't like linking, it wasn't syncing to the beat, it didn't feel authentic. I would I have a group of small individuals who I show my my um progress in music and things I'm working on because I trust their ears. And everybody gave the similar to the same comment. It was like, it's nice, but it's missing something. So around that time, I went to a competition, shout out to too good in Wicker Park at Sub T, Sha Subtee, and there was this um young lady there in the contest, and she had gone last. Her name is Voxy the Artist, she's a very talented artist. Go look her up at Voxy underscore the underscore artist, two X's. Um, and she gave her a performance. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So um she had done this like scream rockish style um type of music that I thought was super dope. I was like a really big fan of it. So I ended just following her on Instagram. Um, and you know, I had reached out and be like, hey, I would love for us to do a song together in some capacity. At this point, she wasn't on limitations. I just wanted to work with her in some capacity. So I was like, hey, um, if you want to come down to the studio, I'm in the studio, I'll give you one of my hours. Um, if I can get some of your vocals, you know, I was just gonna use it for other things later. So um I'm working on limitations and I'm adding things to it, and it's starting to come to fruition, but it's still missing. Something and so I had just asked her on a whim. She had no clue this was gonna happen one day in the studio. I'm like, hey, you want to scream on this real quick? I think it'd be cool. And she was like, huh? I'm like, just yeah, just give me the screen, just do whatever, scream, and then I'll fix things and and and make and put it put it where it needs to be and arrange it. Just start screaming. So she just went in unbeknownst with no practice and just screamed. It was just three tapes of just different levels of screaming, different um tonalities, um, you know what I'm saying? And I just arranged them in what I thought sounded good to add elements, and it really just came together. Um, she really added an element to the song that I wouldn't have been able to add myself. That, you know, and it really just worked, and it was like my genre-defining um song that you know is now that's lending me into other areas and giving me the confidence to explore those areas.
SPEAKER_06:This is a dope song. It's definitely a dope song. I I I like it, I definitely like it. Um in your opinion, in your opinion, what do you think is limiting uh local artists?
SPEAKER_02:Man, uh so many things. But I would if I had to pick one thing, I would say them themselves. I think we sometimes have ideas and we attach upfront support to how good we are and to our level of talent. And that's not that's not the case. I understand why it happens, but it's it is a person who's went most of his life being told he wasn't good, being told uh he can't rap, and even to this day, you know, regardless of the accomplishments, if somebody wants to dislike you, they're gonna dislike you. And no amount of accomplishments, validation, or um showmanship is going to change their minds. So, with that being the thought process with that in mind, you might as well just do what you want to do, how much you want to do it, when you want to do it. And when you get past that idea that people are going to dislike it, that that's a a foregone conclusion, it's so it's liberating to the point where you just start, um, you know, you start experimenting. I would never would have made limitations if I was just so worried about how people would have felt if I stopped rapping for a second, or if I, you know, expand my sound over something that's not what they're used to, or what's privy in our hip-hop reality right now. You know, how many people got great songs and great ideas and great concepts, and they do one drop, they put one flyer out, they they they put the link one time, they don't get a million likes, and now they hate the song or they don't want to push it no more. And they stop, yeah. You can have a hit on your hands, you can have the next biggest thing, but because somebody didn't react to it in the manner that you wanted them to at this exact moment, now you're second-guessing everything. And you know, I'm no I'm not exempt from this either. I I've suffered the same issues and still do sometimes. So it's really about just getting out your own way and and letting the market tell you what's good and what's not for you.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense, and it it reminds me of a statement that I heard somebody make when they said, I think it was some kind of industry inside or whatever, and they were saying that the thing that stops a lot of artists is not necessarily a lack of talent, it's the lack of ability to accept rejection. You know what I'm saying? It's you know what I'm saying, it's it's it's having that resilience. Because the thing is, you may have a dope song, but it but the thing is the person that you pitching it to, it ain't dope to them. You know what I'm saying? So it's like so you kind of falling on deaf ears, you know what I'm saying? When if you keep pushing it and pushing it and pushing it, that right person gonna be like, oh, that shit dope right there. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_02:Bro, it's like I I I cannot like Oreos, they're still a multi-billion dollar company, so you know it's like Yeah, sure. And that motherfuckers are good too, fam. They are good, bro. But it's a multi-billion dollar company, regardless of what I feel about it. So it's like, and and but for me, that's everything in my world. I despise Oreos, you know, so it it matters to me, and that's real, but to everybody else and the billions of people who spend their hard money on it, it matters to them too. So it's like two things can be true at the same time. That doesn't lessen either perspective because both of them can exist, it's just about who's viewing as perspective.
SPEAKER_06:That's true. That damn, that's that's true. Got a hard question for you. Got a hard question. Let's go. All right, and it may seem it may seem a bit off topic, but it's it's it's it's is a question. So you have somebody that you've really been trying to get with, right? Right and and you finally get the opportunity to have that person come to your house, right? Okay, and you're sitting there, y'all sitting there, y'all watching a movie, right? So the thing is, you really want to impress this person. Here's the problem to the left of that person on their left shoulder, you can see a roach approaching them. To the right of them, you can see a mouse. Which one do you distract them from? The roach or the mouse?
SPEAKER_02:That is a crazy question. Um, but not in a bad way. It's it's it's it it's advantageous to how you view the person. I think I'm distracting them from the mouse first. Um I think the mouse poses a bigger threat, and the surprise of the mouse is gonna hit a little harder, in my opinion, than the roach. Okay, okay, okay, all right.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, all right, cool, cool.
SPEAKER_02:All right, so I mean, I wouldn't know either though. You see in the background, I think I I I had a fly in there. I had to pick up a fly. So if if if I had to if I had to pick, it probably would be flies.
SPEAKER_06:So tell us about the uh about the record uh fuck that nine to five. Am I saying it correctly? Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
SPEAKER_02:All right, all right. Oh man, fuck that nine to five is um it's it's it's the song that really introduced me to the world of how do I want to conceptual songmaking? Um at that point before I made that nine of five, I was very rap-heavy focused to carry my abilities. It was like I can rap really well and I can rap really fast, you know, and it's like people's like, yeah, that's really cool. Um, what else can you do? And I was like, I can rap really slow and still good, you know. So it was like very rap-oriented. Um, fuck that nine to five was the first song that transcended past my ability to just rap. It was a relatable topic and a relatable concept that everybody can feel. Um, fun fact about that song that it started off very rap-heavy as well. It was um, I would it was a really hip-hop and approach, and I softened it up to make it a little more melodic and a little more um user-friendly for the for the audience. And when I say I went on a two and a half, three-year campaign with the song, um, I it was I did it everywhere. I I performed it at a rock climbing venue randomly while people was climbing and uh doing their the rock climbing stuff and had a little open mic there. Um, I performed it for hood niggas, I done performed it for white people, I done performed it for Asian people, I done performed it up north, out south, like anywhere it goes, everybody can relate to the concept of fuck this job. I hate going to work, you know. And there's a balance and uh and a specialty and being able to do that and not be gimmicky at the same time. And you know, uh it it it it blended perfectly, and it was for the long for the long time my most popular song, um, number wise and just um as far as recognizableness, uh and it it did a lot for me. And I still perform to this day. You know, I wrote that song like six years ago, and it's still to this day is one of my you know, as far as a fan favorite from my women in my set. So it it it it just shows you the staying power of music. And when you get when you get past that proverbial hump of being a rapper and turning that into an artist or you know, bridging the gap between different styles of music, different genres of music, or just different components and and uh and ways that you try to write your music.
SPEAKER_06:And and uh song, first and foremost, it's super relatable. I feel like it doesn't matter if you're old head and you're a Hawaiian or whatever the fuck you want to call it. I feel like it's super fucking relatable, and it makes you feel like at some point everybody wanted to slap the shit out of their supervisor. At some point, you know what I'm saying? Um but also um I what I appreciated about the record is that it's what you thought, it's some it's some thoughts that you had, and you were able to take that and make the delivery nice and make it rhyme, and still it's still real life shit. You see what I'm saying? Like, it's not like as soon as you hear it, you be like, nigga, I could I I don't give a fuck what kind of job I got. I can relate to I can relate to what the fuck he just said. You see what I'm saying? So I think like I I think that's the beauty in it because that's art, and in my opinion, that's what art is supposed to do, especially hip hop. Especially hip hop. I feel like it it speaks to the people, and I think that when you can do something like that, you've done some phenomenal shit because you're able to speak to the people, speak to the people through your music, and a lot of motherfuckers don't be able to do it. Like I heard you say earlier about you know rapping really fast, and I just gotta put it out there. I'm not truly a big fan of the super rap fast shit, because I kind of feel like I don't know what the fuck you're saying. Like you can like Eminem do this shit all the time. I be like, uh don't know what the fuck you're saying. You know what I'm saying? Like, I need you to slow that shit down, bro. You know, but some people may listen quicker. So they just do. Um but yeah, that's just my take on that. Um, what was the worst job you've ever had?
SPEAKER_02:First job I've ever had. I know a quick side note, I think rapping fast just it it it it's impressive when it when it makes sense, by the way. I feel like it needs to make sense. I feel like sometimes people just start rapping fast just because they want it to be impressive. Um, but if it's not a smooth transition or if it's not lending to the beat, then you know just let's let's cut that, let's cut all that out. But I think it's just a little side note. I think it just has to make sense for the record itself.
SPEAKER_06:And I agree. I I I agree with you on that. Like I want to say, like with Twister, I can understand Twister. You see what I'm saying? Like, so that's what makes to me, that's what makes that work because Twister is able to rap fast, but also it's audible, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's a difference in it. And you'd be like, probably saying some dope shit, but you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_02:I can't really take it in right now, you know. And I think to that point, you know, that's when the other nuances like we spoke about earlier come in. It's the melodicness, it's it's how you phrase your words, it's the syllables that you use that can make it easier to understand because you're fitting the beat and you're doing it with attention. Yeah, so you know what when I wrap fast, I try to figure out what the beat is doing. Should I do double time, should I do triple time? Um, how should I slur my uh my rhyme scheme? How should I slur my uh constant rhymes or vowel rhymes? You know, I think all these components, um, more than just rhyming the sentence and trying to line the line the sounds too and make sure that the syllables line up so that it's smooth for the pocket of the beats. You know, it's a lot of components that go into rhyme size.
SPEAKER_06:It is, it is, and you know what, bro? I gotta I I gotta commend you just for the simple fact that right there, you sounded like a a lyrical uh technician, like somebody that pays attention to it. Like, um, I don't just rap, you know what I'm saying? I like I I understand the concept of it, I understand the structure of it, I understand that I may have to slur this, slow this down, say it's a little bit different. And I think like when when when MCs start to um train themselves to think like that, in my opinion, it just makes a better MC, you know. For sure.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. That's the that's why the people, the greats we look at, the J. Cole's, the MMs, Jay-Z, they you know they figured this out. They figured out those, the little small extra things on top of just rapping. And shout out to my uh my friend Bombiante, taught me that um some of those concepts way back when, like you know, 2014, 2015. Um, back when I was just really starting, he was, you know, he's he was uh way more ahead of me in the terms of just the knowledge because he was producing for years before getting DJ. So he understood a lot about Sonics that I didn't really understand at that point. So shout out to him for that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:So like I said, what what was the worst, the worst job you've ever had?
SPEAKER_02:Worst job I've ever had. Oh man, the worst job I had to ever had was back in 2021, maybe, yeah, roughly like around that area. I used to do these surveys at um this mall. I forgot what mall it was. Like mall or something like that. So we're happening was we sit in, yeah. We'll go well, well, we'll go out to the mall and try to collect people to do these movie surveys um where they would sit and they would watch like little trailers and give opinions about it, and then they got like five dollars. Um and it was so terrible because we were only making like ten, eleven dollars an hour, and it was so specific. We had a very, very, very specific way that we had to do these surveys, and if we did it any other way, the survey would be void, and we have to either start all the way over or they wouldn't get their money. So imagine you know, sitting for eight hours, um, just clicking through surveys and and making having to make sure that the person does it this only one specific way. If there's any other way than this one way, it doesn't count, and somebody's just messing it up, and then you gotta do it all over again. And it's just it was just like, bro, you you're only getting three dollars for this, bro. Like I used to. It's not these surveys were like an hour long, too. You know, it wasn't like a little quick survey, these things, yeah, yeah, and and I did that what five days a week for about eight to nine hours a day.
SPEAKER_06:It was oh uh hey bro, as soon as you said survey, I could feel where you was going with that. I've never done it, but I feel like this. I don't ever stop to talk to them, you know what I'm saying? So the thing is, and I'll be seeing uh I'll be seeing other motherfuckers be curbing them too, and I've been sitting there thinking like damn, how can you go eight hours a day with 80% of the motherfuckers telling you they don't want to do it? You get what I'm saying? Like rejection just all day, all day, all day.
SPEAKER_02:The way they look at me, just asking for if they want to do a survey real quick. The most disgusted look in life. It was like, I mean, I understand, but gosh, um safe to say I was only at that job for two two and a half months.
SPEAKER_06:Oh, for real?
SPEAKER_02:I'm surprised you stayed that long when you need some money, you know, you gotta do some some crazy, some crazy legal.
SPEAKER_06:Um what to you, what is the secret to being a responsible person and maintaining a job, but also putting maximum effort into perfecting your craft? Like, what's the secret to it?
SPEAKER_02:Uh this the secret I would say is waking up every morning and looking at my bank account and not having no money in it. So I gotta figure something out. Um it's just consistency, to be honest. You know, it's just um moving with a purpose and knowing that what you're doing right now, the the you six months from now is gonna really appreciate that. The the you three years from now is gonna really appreciate that. You know, I look back um where I'm at right now. I look back at the old kid and I, you know, moments that I slipped. I'm like, you know, it's okay to it's okay to fail. I'm like, damn, I really wish I would have done that thing that seemed so hard back then. But then I look at myself now and I see things that I I did do, and I'm like, I'm so happy I did that. I'm so happy that Ken back then made that choice because this can appreciate it. So I always try to do for the the K.E.N. Who's in the future who I just haven't you know gotten to that place yet. Um so keeping that consistency going and just focusing and knowing what my goal is and and not letting the the smaller things um affect me. I think it was I was watching the philosopher um TikTok. He was um interviewing with um what's that comedian's name who he's making fun of Trump? I forgot his name. Um yeah, all of them, right?
SPEAKER_06:It's the South African one. I forgot his name. Godfrey.
SPEAKER_02:That might yeah, it might be him. It's gonna it probably can come to me after this um interview. So I'll I'll call I'll I'll text you and tell you his name when it comes to me because that's gonna bug me. But he was making, he was talking to this philosopher, and the philosopher said, you know, sometimes we're just too quick to be swayed by the next shiny thing, you know. Um, we override our senses and we're too quick to react to them. We see something pretty, we veer off, we smell something good, we taste something delicious, and now we're just all over the place. Um and what would when especially when we set a path for ourselves, if I know that I'm about to go make the greatest cake in the world, I'm not about to veer off and start worrying about other cakes and and how they taste and what the that baker is doing and what his recipes are. Um I'm focused on what I'm creating. And it once you train yourself in not letting your senses distract you from things when you're on your path, it's a lot easier to keep focused. And that's a lot easier said than done. But yeah, you know, I've learned in a small capacity style, I've learned to do it. It helps a lot because it it lets me stay focused and it doesn't allow me to be distracted by other people's processes because then you know you start comparing and you start wondering, and comparison is the theft of joy, and then it's just the whole process that it follows through after you do that, and it's just it's just not worth it.
SPEAKER_06:I love that statement. Comparison is the theft of joy, and I think that I think that when people start their uh social media accounts, that should be a disclaimer put right there before before they start their before they start their account. Comparison is the theft of joy because it's like nigga, that's all this is that you're about to get into. You know what I'm saying? That's all this fucking is, you know what I'm saying? Because you're gonna look at somebody else's post and you're gonna see the motherfuckers got 3,000 some likes on it, and you're gonna start looking at your 17 likes, and you're gonna be like, damn, what what what am I not doing?
SPEAKER_02:Like what am I not doing right? You know, um, and you know, and social media, I think, is a big um creditor to that because it it has normalized like certain numbers to be little because of the sheer vastness of the internet. Like 17 people is a lot of people. If you imagine right now, 17 people are outside trying to beat your ass. Like, that's a lot of people. That's you know what I'm saying? The internet makes it look small, right? So I think you need to like just understand the act the actual ideal of numbers in real life. And if I can get 17 people to press like, I feel like I've I've made it because like that's that's just not that's not a little number, even if it looks like it.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I mean, especially if it's 17 motherfuckers about to beat your ass. You know, um what what motivates you on a daily basis? Like when you get up, like what motivates you? Uh uh, what motivates me?
SPEAKER_02:I th I think well money for one motivates me because this world we live in is just expensive. So that's all I'm always gonna get out to bed from now. But from a more um philosophical answer, so to speak. Um I think the thing that motivates me that's a good question, because it's like I'm I'm kind of motivated for the sake of motivation, like I feel like you gotta do something with your life, right? Like you can't just do nothing, right? Like even in the even if you are a bum in the general sense of what society looks like, if you look at it as a bum, you still have things that you have to do or the things that you do in a bum way. Like if you go finessing people for their money, you're doing something. Like that takes a lot of skill set to go and live off other people and and and you know, not have your own income or not have your own resources. Like, that's still something that you have to conceptually put together and find out well, how am I gonna get five dollars for for these blunts? You know what I'm saying? So I think motivation in itself is for me, it's just to I I don't want to be bored, I don't want to be unproductive or I don't I I need some type of um external stimuli. So every day I'm looking for something to do, and when you look for something to do, you find things, and when you find things, you find experiences, you know. So I just pick a lane and said today I want to do something music related. I'm gonna go find something music related. Today I'm gonna go find an opportunity to act in a movie. You know, I kind of just run the gauntlet of something per productive and and see what life takes into. So I think my motivation is is just not being stagnant. I just don't I don't wanna sit still. Hey man, listen.
SPEAKER_06:Okay, what sign are you? I'm a Libra. Libra, okay. I I don't know too much about Libra. Um but I can feel you on the I I I can definitely feel you on the not wanting to be bored. Like, I feel like as long as you got air in your lungs and you can move, why the fuck am I just sitting here and not doing something?
SPEAKER_02:You feel like I feel like when you do stuff, it just increases your chance of other things happening. Like, you know, if I if I go out and put myself out there, there is almost a hundred percent chance something will happen versus if I sit here and not do nothing, then there is an absolute zero percent chance that something's gonna happen. So even if it's a bad thing, it's like today was bad, tomorrow might be good, but then that goes right back to our whole conversations of your percep your perspective of these things. If you look at it bad, then it's gonna be bad. If you look at it good and try to find something out of that, it's gonna be good. So it really just kind of depends on you know how you're looking at it. And what's your thoughts, by the way? I'm a Gemini. You're a Gemini, oh yeah.
SPEAKER_06:And so, like, I I I totally agree, I totally agree with that statement, where it's all about how you look at the world. If you look at the world, in my opinion, this is my opinion, if you look at the world through a lens that's ugly, that's how you see it. You see, oh fuck, shit is fucking terrible. But you have a choice, in my in my opinion, you have a choice. You can look at it through a lens that's beautiful too. Like, hey, even if some shit is happening, that's an opportunity for me to go out there and try to make shit better for somebody somebody else. You know. So that that kind of that that kind of helps me when I started thinking about shit too. Um what what what's next for K in? And and and where can people find it?
SPEAKER_02:Man, um, there's so much stuff that I'm just working on personally. Um shout out my boy Rhymster. Um, me and him have a project coming out. Oh, I know Rhymester? Oh yeah, oh my god, yeah, we got a project coming out. Um, um I'm you know, always doing shows and events. Um I also teach hip hop, little shameless plug at um in Wicker Park at the Flat Iron Flat Iron Arts Building, um Phil's Music School, Phil Circles Music School. I teach hip hop there. Um so if y'all need any classes, get in with me.
SPEAKER_06:Um and also I just how can people get in tune with that?
SPEAKER_02:Tell them how they get in. Oh, yeah, um, just hit me, hit me on my Instagram, God Level Goat. Um once you once we will we we'll discuss what you're looking at, what you're looking for, what level you are, and then um I'll give you a free diagnosis and then we'll um complete a little assessment where we you know I I see what I need where you need to grow and what I can help with. And then I'll send you the link and you can purchase a packet of classes, or you can do one at a time. You can you know, we we we we're we're very flexible. We offer a whole bunch of other things like um singing, piano playing, guitar, you know, the whole nine yards. So if you if you you know if you want to do other disciplines and not just do hip hop, you can also shop with the other music teachers. Um I also have a um TV performance coming out on Can TV pretty soon that I did. Um this gospel show called The Time of Inspiration. Shout out to Sharon. Um, she's the host of that show. That's on Can TV, so that's channel 19, 23, 26. It's also online, cantv.com. And last thing that I'm working on, um, I can't say too much because it's still pending approval status. But um look out for draft number six. That's all I can say. Um you'll y'all know more about that when the time comes, but um just just know once the um the approval is is is is approved, you'll see. So draft six. That's all I do.
SPEAKER_06:Okay. Okay. It sounds like you're excited about it. So I feel like we should be excited about it. Yeah. And I must say, man, from a creative, from a creative point of view, you uh you you're dealing with the right person, man, when you're dealing with Rhymster, bro. He's a good dude. He's a good dude. Yeah, one of the one of the one of the most genuine people I've ever met.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, yeah. So we're looking forward to that.
SPEAKER_06:Also, um, next Friday, man, uh, you're back at um at um Boulevard, Sports Lounge. Performing. Um, I'm I must say, man, honestly, I must say, the last performance that you did, man, people walked away, definitely talking about your performance in a good way. And and and like I said, man, I I feel like you're you're a dope performer. You're a dope artist. Real talk. And keep it up. Real talk, real talk.
SPEAKER_02:Hey, coming from um one one of the dopest DJs I know personally, I'm not just saying that, you know, that's uh that's a true feeling. Uh I I I appreciate when when when greatness sees greatness, you know. I feel like there's just so much love and positivity in this world that it's nothing wrong with giving somebody their flowers when they, you know, when they're having their moments. I think we should all practice that idea even more because you know, I honestly believe greatness is cultivated than just created, if that makes sense. Like I don't feel like you're not born with it. You're you're if you're cultivated in the proper situation where people see the greatness in you and they and they they focal they focal that energy towards you so that you can see it, you know, kind of like Kanye's mom did when he was growing up in that same sense. Um, you're bound to be great in whatever capacity that you are going to be great in. So I think we should always cultivate the space.
SPEAKER_06:I feel like you give because it's it's something that you work on. And and and that goes that that goes back to that goes back to the the little things. The little things that you do on a daily basis. And you said earlier it's not being bored. You don't want to be bored, like you want to create something, you want to do something. So on a daily basis, that's where your mind goes. So that makes you to the person that you are. So you definitely gonna be better tomorrow than you was yesterday because you work on it. So um looking forward to to what's to to the elevation of K E N. Also looking forward to seeing you perform again February 20th at Boulevard Sports Lounge. Y'all make sure y'all check it out. Um not only do we have K E N performing, we got Ross Caesar and Stone Flacco, and we got my man Andres Haley, and it's gonna be some other performers out there. Um, so y'all come out. Last time it was a dope ass show. We had fun, no issues, nice drinks, food. What else do you need, goddamn it? You know what I'm saying? Exactly.
SPEAKER_02:You know what I'm saying? Good people, that's all that's all it takes.
SPEAKER_06:And honestly, probably ain't gonna lie to you. Like, that's my vision. Uh as a DJ and a curator for Chicago events. I want motherfuckers to be able to come out and just see the next best thing. Get it if that makes sense. Not only see the next best thing, but shit, get drunk for cheap. You know what I'm saying? Or get some good ass wings or some you or some salmon sliders or some shit like that. Just so you'll have a good ass experience. You get what I'm saying? So that's what I'm working towards. So I always tell people, man, time is way more important than money. You can't get time back. Um, but if you got the right niggas with you, you can get money back. Um the niggas big enough, you you can get that money back. Um I I appreciate you for your time, man. And I appreciate you for your talent. Um, everybody knows your socials, but it's not social security shit, none of that shit. But like I was ready.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, sure. You can uh find me everywhere at God Level Goat. Um except for TikTok, TikTok guy level goat one. Um just because it was taken. It's no profound reason. It was just taken. But yeah, God Level Goat everywhere. Um, you know, I'm always all around Chicago as well, man. So if you see me come up and and chop it up with me. Um, and also I want to say, man, this is this was I've been in a number of podcasts, and this is probably top three um for professionalism, and you know, the questions that you ask to obviously tell that you did your research, and I I really do appreciate you know you taking the time to learn aspects about me. So, you know, uh versus just you know asking me these general questions that a lot of interviewers like to do. So um really dope podcast, man. Really dope um community that you're building. I'm I I I love everything. I want to be a part of everything that you're doing. If you ever have anything that you're spinning at, just let me know. I want to come support because that you know, that's one of the most important things I feel like in this world right now of where we're at as artists, is that if you want people to be fans of you, you gotta be fans of other people. You know, nobody is too celebrity to show a little bit of love.
SPEAKER_06:And and and I appreciate that, bro. And like I told you that night, man, I said that I fuck with you. I said, man, so I'm gonna reach out to you tomorrow. I said, if I don't, hold me to it. You know what I'm saying? Because I know a lot of times, man, motherfuckers do these events and you'll shake hands with a nigga 30 times and gap it up with a motherfucker 30 fucking times. Hey, man, I hear you, fam, man. You don't hear it from a nigga no more. You know what I'm saying? But I felt like I it I I feel like it's an authentic authentic authenticity to you. Uh we ain't trying to, we're not trying to figure out the other word. Uh it's just out there anyway.
SPEAKER_02:It's the A words for some reason, bro. It's the A words.

SPEAKER_06:Yo! We are now back at the Chiss Podcast, and that was a mix. Um stand for something. Stand for something and realize that everybody got a purpose. Everybody got a purpose. Let me let me let me add this. A lot of times things become uncomfortable for you because it's time for you to make a change. Because if things stay comfortable, you're gonna stay in the same position. You don't give a fuck, because you're cool with it. So pay attention. If things are really getting uncomfortable and they feel like they feel real uncomfortable for you, maybe it's time for you to change. Maybe that's the universe where we need to do something different. You know, let's let's let's elevate, you know. So think about that. Also I'm ad. Make fans not followers. Followers against you crowd. Fans against you word. Um Don't make things more about attention. More so intention. Think about that. Marinate on that for a minute. Intention over attention. Um do something that gets you out to bed. Do something that motivates you on a daily basis. Work on something on a day on a daily basis. It can be small. It can be it can be a small amount of work, but do it on a cons do it on a consistent level. And you'll see the results eventually. Um, shout out to my man K E N for stopping through.
