The year was 2019 when Kenny Mason seemingly emerged with his breakout single “Hit.” The song was a hit indeed (with over 17 million streams on Spotify alone), though it came from Kenny’s years as a teen in the Atlanta underground, tinkering with genre-bending sounds and performances that uniquely set him apart from his peers. He fanned the flames with his 2020 project Angelic Hoodrat and its recharged edition Angelic Hoodrat: Supercut a year later. Now several projects in, Kenny’s ascent is steady, yet his reach is meteoric. Frequently namechecked by his peers as the prototype for true emotional artistry, Kenny Mason has accomplished more than many artists, yet he’s still just getting warmed up.
