It\u2019s a Good Time to Be Kidd Kenn

, marking a career shift. Despite beginning his career working with other people's beats, he didn't find songwriting difficult. He describes the songs onis fun and cheeky. Part of that was due to the energy of the room when the songs were written and recorded."It was really just me and my team — me and my manager — in the studio, all the time, having fun and vibing and making music," he recalls. But Kenn's also justfeaturing Queen Key.

Kenn is in prime form right now; he says he's never felt so creatively open. The words flow out of him, for the most part, meaning there are more chances for his listeners — old fans and new ones — to hear what he's working on."When I first started, it was really difficult because I was just new to everything, so I was just trying to figure out who I was," he adds."Now, since I've been doing it, it's so easy. I'm ready for the world to hear it.

Fame may be coming for Kenn, but it's not something he's had to grapple with too deeply just yet."When I meet my fans, it be like the most adorable moment ever. They be so shook," Kenn says."It makes you feel so loved. It's the best thing ever." When he's here in Chicago, Kenn still sticks with the friends and family who have been there for him since the beginning."They understand what I'm doing," he says."Everything is cool.

All of this — newfound fame, the recording process, the chance to rub shoulders with people he only dreamed about ever meeting — still feels new and exciting and inspiring. Kenn still happily recalls his first New York Fashion Week, when he attended theafterparty."I feel so proud because these are people I watched when I was younger, like I watched before I was a rapper.
