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.

The Sheik of Araby
Ken Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your love belongs to me.
At night when you're asleep
Into your tent I'll creep.
The stars that shine above,
Will light our way to love.
You'll rule this land with me;
The lyrics to Ken 'snakehips' Johnson's song The Sheik Of Araby are about a man proclaiming himself as the Sheik of Araby and claiming the love of a woman. He sings about creeping into her tent at night while she is asleep and taking her as his own. The stars above are seen as a symbol of their love and they will rule the land together. The lyrics portray the Sheik as a dominant and possessive character, who believes that the woman's love belongs to him and he can do anything to possess it.
The song was originally written in 1921 by Harry B. Smith and Francis Wheeler, with music by Ted Snyder. It was an instant success and became a popular jazz standard. Numerous interpretations have been made over the years by different jazz musicians, and it has been featured in many films and TV shows.

I'm the Sheik of Araby
I hold the highest position of power in Araby
Your love belongs to me.
You are in love with me and belong to me
At night when you're asleep
During the night while you are unconscious
Into your tent I'll creep.
I will secretly enter your tent without being detected
The stars that shine above,
The celestial bodies in the sky that emit light
Will light our way to love.
Those stars will guide us towards our love for each other
You'll rule this land with me;
You will become my partner in power and control over this land

Thanks for your comment
Roman Adar
While maybe not as refined as the later Chris Barber jazz band these folks play the best traditional jazz.
Of course an excellent music and video as well, love both of them.
Thanks for sharing.
Brian Sturt
+Roman Adar Thanks again Roman glad you enjoyed this one also
Barry Lowe
Thanks Brian, I enjoyed the recording and video. I have this on one of Kens Classic Years albums. I don't know whether you think the same, but I always remember the George Lewis version having the same primitive recording quality. I wonder if that was deliberate!
Brian Sturt
Hi Barry, gladyou enjoyed both aspects of this song - I always remember this as Mac Duncan's feature vocal and I felt 'Bluto' captures his wild and primitive singing to a tee
John Llewlyn Davies
