In November 2017, he was tapped to DJ on BBC Radio 1Xtra, where he appeared in rotation over the next six months.[5] This led to a permanent engagement with BBC Radio 1Xtra, when the platform brought him back in October 2018 to take over the Friday night slot of DJ Semtex, who left after having worked with the station for 15 years. Making the announcement, Mark Strippel, 1XTra's head of programmes, described Kenny as a "core champion for the UK scene."[6]

In 2018, Kenny was at Notting Hill Carnival, playing sets at stages and parties.[7]

In March 2023 he was named as the new host of the Radio 1 Rap Show, simulcast on BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra every Saturday night, replacing Tiffany Calver.[8]
