Kentheman

CRITIC’S PICK: After gaining viral notoriety with her For da 304’s EP — think back to those childish grade school calculator hijinks — during the pandemic, Houston’s own KenTheMan grinded it out until she was named a XXL Freshman in 2022. Over a year later, she’s still going as hard as ever. Earlier this summer, KenTheMan signed a deal with RocNation, and shortly thereafter, she returned to her roots with the release of her eight-track EP, Back to 304’n. To support the project, the “Not My N*gga” femcee is hitting 12 cities for her first-ever headlining tour, so tap in with KenTheMan when her “Back to 304’n Tour” arrives in Atlanta on Sunday, October 1. — Joshua Robinson
