It is an intoxicating cocktail of disparate genres that built the foundation for his 2020 breakthrough debut album, Angelic Hoodrat. We had the chance to catch up with the rapidly rising rapper at Lollapalooza to discuss everything from securing a PS5 to finding inspiration outside of rap and, of course, poise the question… who is Kenny Mason?
