Kenneth Brother on Going from a State Champ in Football to a Top Rapper in New Orleans

Kenneth Brother is a rapper from the Westbank of New Orleans with a very interesting story.

Growing up he had no idea that he would one day become one of the top prospects in New Orleans hip hop. Sports was his first love and he took his football career all the way to the collegiate level.

In part 1 of our sit down, he took us back to when he first got into music after winning the State Championship with Edna Karr. He also gives us insight on how he decided on the name Kenneth Brother and who Kenneth was.
