His Father was a News Anchor. His Aunt and Grandfather were prominent politicians in Trinidad. Therefore, social awareness is second nature to him. Still in Trinidad at age 12, Kenee Bang began to listen to Hip Hop. He was captivated by the word play and wit of MC's like Nas, Jay-Z, Black Thought, Outkast, The Notorious B.I.G., Slick Rick, The Fugees, LL Cool J, Shyne, Wu-Tang, Talib Kweli and Mos Def. At age 15, Kenee Bang wrote his first rap with the help of his childhood best friend who also encouraged him to become an MC. Shortly after that, Kenee Bang and his family migrated to the US where his love for Hip Hop grew stronger.
Now in Brooklyn, New York, Kenee Bang joined a crew called GLE (Green Leaf Entertainment). This move allowed Kenee Bang to be heard and soon people realized that he was a force to be reckoned with. His first recording was in 2007 under GLE titled Calm before the Storm. Personal tragedy hit within Kenee Bang's family in 2008. This left Kenee devastated for a few years. During that time he separated from the crew. After the struggle, Kenee became hungry and more determined to make it to the top. He created Bang Series Entertainment. Kenee began to record again in 2010 and dropped Finally Resurrected in 2011.
Kenee Bang has West Indies style with Brooklyn swag, His style, rhymes and strong message sets him apart from others. He wants to ensure people receive his message while enjoying good music.
He has a blended style from his musical influences. His raps are his true feelings about his life, his community and the world in general. Living in different countries gave Kenee a unique perspective on Life as a whole. He looks to share his visions through music, books and film.

How do you feel about Hip Hop right now?
Hip Hop right now is 100% corporate. Hip Hop is no longer the voice of the people at the Bottom. It is a bunch of rich individuals approving budgets for artist they like. When is the Last time you heard a New MC (That was pushed hard BIG BUDGET) you could relate to. (Like I really feel his/her Pain his/her struggle) they are out there SIGNED and Unsigned but NO BIG Budgets for their Music, Albums or Videos. Its all Ice Rap right Now NO BALANCE! So Hip Hop IS those Rich Executives Right NOW in that case HIP HOP is Rich. As a result the Culture lacks Substance!

I would change exactly that. Have BIG BUDGET for different types of Artist. So the Music can once again be therapeutic for the 99% of us who dont take Champagne Baths.
