Rapper David Cohn, better known as Serengeti, has added a loving caricature of die-hard Chicago fans to his work for the better part of a decade. His character Kenny Dennis has praised Chicago living and sports fandom, nobly defended Steve Bartman, and referenced just about every beloved attribute of the city while adopting a “Bill Swerski’s Superfans” accent. It’s the same hometown detail that endeared Macklemore to his hometown of Seattle before breaking through. The character has shown up on Serengeti albums since Dennehy in 2006, but Kenny Dennis got his own EP last year, and the Kenny Dennis LP drops today. The full-length album features a few sketch-songs with Workaholics’ Anders Holm, and we’ve got the video for one of them, “Laser Tag,” to watch below.
