KenTheMan raps like she’s been that girl because she is! Hailing from Houston with a mic in one hand and a point to prove in the other, the rapper has been applying pressure since the moment she stepped onto the music scene. Her name might make you do a double take, but that’s exactly the point. She doesn’t follow anybody’s format, and that kind of confidence bleeds through every beat she touches.

One track in, and you can already tell the former Roc Nation signee isn’t holding back. She’s the type of rapper who makes you pause, rewind and ask yourself if you just heard what you think you heard — then run it back again just to catch the rest. She delivers every line with intention and without hesitation, knowing exactly how she wants to be absorbed by listeners.

KenTheMan has a mouth that’s slicker than your favorite rapper and the charisma to match. Her bars don’t feel forced, and her flow never fumbles. She knows how to talk that talk and make it stick. One minute she’s in her bag; the next she’s in yours — and she’ll have you rapping along like you wrote it. The 2022 XXL Freshman raps for the girls who know what they bring to the table and refuse to dim their shine to be palatable.

From “He Be Like” to “Crazy Bout Me,” KenTheMan has built a catalog that feels loud, grown and completely her. Regardless of her songs’ shifting production or featured artists, her voice stays clear, and she still owns it. Her pen game is cold, her delivery is fresh and her style is unmatched.
