KENNY MASON SHARES NEW SINGLE “PLAY BALL”
Atlanta’s most promising new artist, Kenny Mason has released his latest single, “Play Ball,”produced by Julian Cruz. Leveling up on a medley of clashing drums and grating guitar riffs, Kenny puts his vocal range on full display, singing about the realities of Atlanta street life before transitioning into a lyrical onslaught detailing what it takes to come up on his side of ATL.
“Knew how to spot rookies with out looking / bitch i took it, no retaliation, because y’all pussies / how y’all should get got places where y’all took it / cuz I watched good ones turn to satan cuz y’all pushed ’em”
Along with the new song, Kenny has shared an accompanying Elijah Chauvin and Fabrice Mercier directed CGI visualizer. “Play Ball” is the latest offering from Kenny this year following his heavy hitting alternative banger “Pup” and the airy yet melodic, “Partments.” All three singles will be on Kenny Mason’s highly anticipated Angelic Hoodrat: Supercut project, an extension of his 2020 debut which releases on April 16th. and boasts features from Freddie Gibbs and Angel White.
Kenny Mason is coming off of a breakout year in 2020 following the release of his critically acclaimed debut project, Angelic Hoodrat. The project drew comparisons to the rise of Kendrick Lamar a la Good Kid, M.A.A.D City on tracks like “PTSD” and “Pretty Thoughts,” while Kenny surprised his fans by changing up his style from 2019’s massive single, “Hit” by tastefully combining elements of alternative rock, grunge, and punk with his already powerful rapping abilities on tracks like “Metal Wings,”“Handles,”“Firestarter,” and “Angelic Hoodrat.”
The jarringly talented 25 year old artist from Atlanta, GA is redefining popular notions of his city’s sound with his genre-bending blend of rap and alternative rock familiar to fans of bands like The Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, and My Bloody Valentine. Kenny Mason’s phenomenal abilities as a lyricist, rapper, and singer have catapulted him from Atlanta’s underground DIY scene to the national spotlight, climbing a promising ladder of success in a relatively short amount of time: Performing at Rolling Loud Miami in 2019, being named one of August’s “Best New Artists” by Pigeons & Planes, having his song “G.O.A.T.” featured on HBO’s hit show, Euphoria, being named among COMPLEX‘s “25 Rappers to Watch in 2020,” and having his debut album, Angelic Hoodrat, listed among XXL‘s “Best Hip-Hop Projects of 2020.”

Lu’ (@ottawasveryown) is back with another one! He has been shaking things up in the music scene since his ground-breaking debut “FEVA,” released earlier in February this year. Now, he returns with another highly-anticipated single, “Over,” out now. This offering is accompanied with a music video & solidifies Lu’s mark in the music game with his captivating storytelling and infectious sound.
“Over” is another compelling feel good single that highlights Lu’s artistic identity and capability. “Over evokes pure enjoyment and immaculate summer vibes,” he says. He invites listeners into an irresistible musical experience through the Afrobeats sound. Drawing inspiration from English and French-speaking artists, as well as Congolese artists, he sets himself apart from the industry as a multilingual artist. The accompanying music video was shot in Lagos, Nigeria and offers a setting of African greatness, luxury, and an overall great time.
Originally hailing from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and now making waves in Phoenix, Arizona, Lu’ is a renowned Arizona Cardinals linebacker who made his musical debut earlier this year with his debut single, “FEVA.” Fighting the notion of “shut up and dribble,” Lu’ has shown that he’s far more multifaceted than just an average athlete. He shares, “The narrative of ‘shut up and dribble’ is one I’ve fought internally for a very long time. I want my audience to grasp how passionate I am about chasing my wildest dreams. You can’t let another person tell you, your dreams are too far unattainable.” Lu’ has been able to perfectly parallel his passion and dedication of being a talented athlete as well as a talented artist.
It’s worth noting that Lu’ is a definite powerhouse to keep an eye on as he continues to break barriers in both sports and music. His transition from sports to music is a prominent testament to him embracing his versatility, following his dreams, and reaching new heights. The unfolding musical journey of this rising Canadian artist is a must see.
