To this date he has released 8 albums, including one that was made in collaboration with norwegian producer/legend Tommy Tee.
Unlike most other Swedish rappers Ken attracted alot of controversy, because of his tendency to bring out social issues such as crime, jail, drugs and ethnic integration in his songs. Especially controvercial was his song "Stockholms blodbad" (translated "the Stockholm Blood-bath"). In this song he is perceived as promoting the murder of the royal family as well as the rape of the princesse. Although he himself claims the statements of the song to be of a strictly rhetorical type, Swedish media and opinion were unforgiving. Ken was shunned from social events and popular media for a long time. Most of his supporters cite this as evidence of the cowardly way in which Swedish media never misses a chance to scrutinize uncomfortable outsiders.
5) KEN is the ex guitarist of the Japanese Rock band ZI:KILL.

Ken Lyrics

I don't wanna be the last
I don't wanna feel the motion
when things are moving fast
I don't wanna hear the sirens
I don't wanna flash the heat
please help me out i'm losing speed
I don't wanna kiss the sun
I don't wanna live in progress
when progress is a gun
don't tell me how to calm down
don't tell me you are a friend
I miss the sense in your comments
Don't you wanna be here
and save my head
well all you have to do for me is to grab me out with your sympathy
be here and help me out
the world is turning upside down
when i feel that you're not around
I don't wanna piece of violence
I don't know the evil fates
I don't try to live in silence
while the fear is right behind the gates
I don't wanna cut my fingers
I don't wanna loose my head
I just wanna be someone else instead
Don't you wanna be here
and save my head
well all you have to do for me is to grab me out with your sympathy
be here and help me out
the world is turning upside down
when i feel that you're not around
My son it's not my problem
you live there in your mess
I've tried to give you conscience
but you have ignored my bliss
and now you beg for forgiveness
but I have lost interest
you have to help yourself now
and save your little ass
The world is turning upside down
when i feel that your not around
well all you have to do for me is to grab me out with your sympathy
the world is turning upside down
when i feel that your not around
The lyrics of Ken's song 21-21=21 are a plea for help, a cry for someone to be there for him and show him some kindness in a world that seems to be turning upside down. The song is full of contrasting phrases, illustrating the confusion and turmoil inside the singer's mind. He doesn't want to be the cause of trouble, but he feels like he's falling behind, unable to keep up with the pace of the world. He doesn't want to live in darkness, but he doesn't want to blindly follow progress that feels like a threat. He doesn't want violence or silence, but he's afraid of the evil that lurks in the shadows.
The repetition of "Don't you wanna be here, and save my head" shows that the singer is looking for someone to offer him comfort and support, to help him deal with the chaos around him. He's pleading for sympathy, for someone to understand what he's going through and to reach out to him. The final verse is particularly poignant, with the singer addressing his "son" and explaining that he can no longer offer him the guidance he needs to navigate life. He encourages him to help himself and save his own "little ass". The song is a cry for help, a plea for kindness and empathy in a world that can feel overwhelming.
