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. 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?
