Today, we’d like to introduce you to Kenneth Millyun.
Hi Kenneth, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Well, my name is Kenneth Millyun I’m an artist out of North Houston, Texas.
Music has always been a passion of mine. I’ve listened to and enjoyed all sorts of music. I am a true appreciator of the art of music. It started when I was younger, maybe around my preteen years, getting together with family members and them blasting oldies and me hearing it from a far-off room in the house with my cousins. Got me quickly adaptive to how music is a feeling. Mix with a little bit of liquor or a lot of it, from fights to arguments to love to laughter to joy. It’s a complete feeling. I always thought it was a complete art to be able to make someone feel something through just your words on an MP3. Also, with hip-hop, it was always the art of just being able to flip words that always intrigued me.
That was enough for me and my cousins to start getting together and freestyle together and me writing poetry.
But It wasn’t enough..Flash forward, I went to a party, then around the age of maybe 21. I met my Homie TeeZol through my brother-in-law Jab. he played his EP for me (the year 10 billion), And I love that tape. I showed him a couple of my raps, and he loved it and said you should lay it down and get it recorded. He showed me Barron Studios, and as soon as I heard my voice back on the track, the rest was history. I have seen a lot of different things growing up because different friends I’ve had were involved in certain things that I wasn’t, and I really got exposed to a lot of different things when I left home around the age of 20. my dad worked really hard to take care of me and my brothers and sisters, all six of us, and to keep us away from a certain type of life, which he did well on. It was just hard to navigate that world of people who you’re around and the peer pressures that were applied during that time for me. So, really, I’ve been through stuff just like the next man has. I just choose to lay it down on wax because it’s therapeutic for me to help me self-reflect and possibly help all of my fans through something they might be going through that they can relate to or ultimately feel me through my music like Other artists and OGMCs have done for me—student of the game.

The next household name.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It most definitely wasn’t smooth.When I first moved out, There were times I could not eat.So doing music was not really an option, even though I really enjoyed. After sometime and staying with different friends, my uncle had just got his own place.
I was luckily enough to soon move in with him.That was only momentarily before we’d have to part ways. Reasons why,I’d rather keep to myself, but I always appreciate what he did for me.I was on my own again and was struggling,going from job to job, and it was very difficult. For a little while, it was just me, my girlfriend helped me out from time to time, but that was only so much. I’m not really the type to ask for things. Anyway, I ended up landing a pretty good job. I got married as well ,and everything was fine for a little bit. I even thought “OK I can really get back to doing music”. Until my job let me go. It was extremely stressful at that time In my life.
My dad always taught me how to be a man and to stand 10 toes down. And to take care of our own,so I ended up working 2 to 3 jobs at once.
Until something better came along. Which ultimately put a strain on me when it came to doing music.
In my younger years. It was more so peer pressure from certain friends to get involved with certain things that necessarily I didn’t want to get involved in. All of my friends weren’t necessarily into questionable things when I was growing ,just some of them were. Some of them were very religious. A few of them were involved in Gang Activity and a few of them were just getting money a lot of different ways.
So, when u can’t eat, you start thinking about things that were once said to you that could possibly fix your problem at that moment.
But you have to remain True to yourself and know what you’re actually willing to do and not willing to do.
And I’m not a very religious person but through my personal relationship with God. He helped show the way.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
Well, I’m an artist. I make music. I’m a lyricist and MC. I’m a human being, meaning a lot of people are so fixated on being a savage, being on demon time, being all these other things. I’m just a human being, I’ll make mistakes just like the next one, I contradict myself sometimes, I have real love for someone when I say I love them, all those things you know, that make us human to be able to feel.
I don’t really know what sets me apart from everyone else, maybe my voice.lot of people say they don’t really hear a voice like mine on a track. I think when people try to be so different, they end up being the same as everyone else, so I will just be myself. That’s probably what sets me apart from everyone else.
What were you like growing up?
People said I was always funny, like I knew how to make people laugh. Like my brothers and sisters, we would be in there dying of laughter over some stuff I done said while we was cleaning up the kitchen after dinner. That’s the main thing I got growing up. That I knew how to make people laugh, but I was also very cool and calm. And That I was a great friend, always got compliments like that. I enjoyed playing video games, watching anime, watching adult swim, playing my guitar, and skateboarding, playing football and of course writing poetry.
