Kenny M. Alvarez, known artistically as I.K.P. (The Infamous King of Positivity), is a non-binary rapper-producer of Garifuna descent whose mythic catalog and advocacy are rooted in lived experience—military trauma, homelessness, and substance abuse included. A U.S. Marine Corps veteran and Full Sail graduate, I.K.P. has released a mythically bold catalog of independent projects like 11:11 | eleven eleven, earned an Independent Music Award nomination, and co-hosted The Herbal Tea Podcast from 2020–2024, bridging queer and pop culture with cannabis advocacy. In addition, they successfully lobbied for millions toward supportive housing in New York. I.K.P. continues to expand queer visibility in hip-hop, crafting legacy through truth, resilience, and radical positivity.
