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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ey vad ey jag tar en titt ut o de e en helt blå himmel
Tidigt så man e ensam inom timmen
I nån timme*runt tolvsnåret de e då dem flesta vaknar
På me skorna o mot torget jag knatar
Möter pookie, viktor o gabi
Renee kör förbi, på väg ut mot täby
För att göra affärer medans vi går mot stranden
Klockan e två så det bär vidare mot stan
Stannar till för en öl i fridhemsplan
En härlig dag, som en present till ken ring
Ser en brud med genomskinlig kjol o grym string
Helt OK så jag ger henne mitt nummer
Sommartider -99 vilka stunder
Tänder en cigg o tar ett bloss o andas ut
Hoppas att dagen aldrig tar slut
Vers 2:
Ey ey vart ska jag titta, stan e full av katter
Jag älskar sverige som iranier älskar matter
Nu tar vi 119 till backlura
I hässelby strand stod ett litet barn o tjura
Grekerna?? kör förbi på väg upp till kanaan
Folk kom ut svettiga från gamla tunnelbanan
Abel me paran på väg till ARABDALEN
Där allting e soft o de e fotbolllsmatch för barnen
Hör en bil slira, michael leker
Hos magro sitter houman och skriver som poeter
Fredde står vid grillen me två stycken kebab
Telefonen ringer vem e de
Shahab
Vad händer mannen e du redo för att starta karriären
O blowa upp hela världen
Thomas o eriksson kommer långt där borta
Hämta bin? o abbe ey nu ska vi softa
Vers 3:
Ey ey drar förbi johan, anna hade fixat käk
O robert ?????? satt hjalmar i knät
En härlig dag o jag drog tillbaka hem
Oj titta på klockan nästan halv fem
Frågor börjar ställas vad händer ikväll
De e en fett soft dag så det måste bli en bra helg
Vi kanske drar förbi nisses eller sener?
Har hemmafest med brudar de e så skönt vi lever
Genom sommarvinden som på blå himmel
Push-uppen inne varje dag blir ett minne
Precis som den här vi glömde all stress
Jag drog hem, tog en dusch, satte på mig ett par guess
Höjde upp volymen o börja skaka nacken
Tänkte att ibland kan det va skönt o va blatten
Som inte bryr sig o bara mår bra
Ken känner sig hel i stockholms stad
Refräng:
Tiden står stiiiill på sommaren
Sekunder blir timmar, timmar blir dagar
Skönt o vara keeeen
Spänningen stiiiiiger på sommaren, grabbar som väntar tjejer som längtar
Skönt o vara keeeen
Ken’s song Sommarminnen encapsulates the essence of a perfect summer day spent in Stockholm. Ken starts by describing the beauty of the blue sky in the morning and how he heads out to the town square to meet his friends. They walk towards the beach and encounter an old friend whom Ken is glad to see. As they reach the town, they stop to have a beer and Ken observes people passing by including a girl with a transparent skirt and a G-string, with whom he shares his number. The day ends on this happy note with Ken lighting up a cigarette hoping that the day never comes to an end.
The second verse talks about Ken’s journey on the 119 bus to Backlura. He describes Stockholm as a town full of 'cats' and shares his love for Sweden. As he reaches the area, he sees a child in a bad mood and two Greeks headed towards Kanaan. A group of people comes out of the old subway station sweating. He has a casual conversation with his friends about starting their careers and having fun. The third verse symbolizes the end of the summer day, Ken goes back home, has dinner, and realizes that the day has passed quickly. He contemplates the options for the evening, whether to go out with friends or have a party at home. Ken remembers the summer moments spent in Stockholm with his friends and how they all live their lives to the fullest.
Overall, Sommarminnen is a nostalgic ode to the memories of a perfect summer day spent in Stockholm with friends.
