About Me


The Black Lion
I am Ras KenTon Aten

AKA
([KENTANKHAMEN])
HOTEP!! BLESSED!!
THE CREATION: My grandfather Harold “Chuck” Willis & his wife Dorothy Willis, gave birth to 3 beautiful women; [Wanda, being the eldest - Cynthia, being second - Pamela, being the last of the line of children]. Unfortunately, there were no boys. The eldest of daughters, Wanda Willis, married [musician] Johnny "Soul" Barkley, and blessed the family with the first male. They named him Johnny “Miguel” Barkley Jr., which he was also musically inclined and very multi-talented! Sadly, the married couple divorced, and at age 16, their son was gunned down at a Simpson Rd. night club. Blessed!
MYSTERY [my story] Begins:
The second eldest of daughters, Cynthia Willis, married to Ledrew Hunter, gave birth to a beautiful woman name Shanny Hunter. Five years later, I was born April 22, 1981 in Atlanta Ga. [Grady Memorial… yea, you know it!], raised on the west side [inside i285] Simpson & Bankhead [now Donald Lee Hollowell]. Later, we relocated to the Eastside, near Thomasville & Four Seasons Apt. Homes [the projects]. At the age of 7, I got hold to a tape from a friend in school [Benteen Elementary] called the N.W.A., and at that age listening to the prophetic lyrics of the lifestyle that I was living & seeing… made it all clear to me that music was a good friend to have. Before, I had no knowledge of that particular genre or style of music. I grew up listening to the oldies my mom played and was a dedicated fan of MICHAEL JACKSON!!!
Michael, was a big influence in my younger life, being that during the mid 80's, was the reigning of the Hip Hop era, and dancing was surely one, if not the most popular of attributes where MJ was alread "Crowned King." I idolized his every step, practicing as if I were him, getting pointers from his younger 'Jackson 5ive' inception. He is directly responsible for my popularity as a battle dancer during the popular 1990's. But, my dancing career started long before then... I was about 5 when I would dance in front of the customers that would come in to my grandmothers beauty salon [Dorothy Willis Boutique] downtown Atlanta. Every day, me and my sister would run to the TURTLE [music store] to get all of the latest cuts being played on the radio, and since she & Miguel [like brother & sister] were my older siblings who raised me, I listened to & liked whatever they did. .....{EDITING}.....
