Who Is Kenny Mason? | Kenny Mason on Frank Ocean and Copping a PS5

West Atlanta rapper Kenny Mason seamlessly blends his wide range of influences, from alternative rock to R&B, to create an infectious vision for rap. It is an intoxicating cocktail of disparate genres that built the foundation for his 2020 breakthrough debut album, Angelic Hoodrat.
