Show Notes
Rapper and singer Kenny Mason joins Devon on the show this week to break down the lyrics in Travis Porter’s “Waffle House,” discuss Future’s creation of the term “pesbians,” and recap the Andre 3000 flute concert.
Kenny Mason, whose music has soundtracked everything from “NHL 24” to HBO’s “Euphoria” released his third studio album BULLDAWG on May 12th, and it was #9 on Spotify’s List of Top 10 Albums in the first few weeks. The project explores themes of identity, self-worth, and the pressure to define your value in a world that often tries to do it for you. Framed around the idea that “we live in a junkyard,” Kenny reflects on disposability of both artists and people and the tension between ambition and protecting your sense of self. It’s introspective without losing intensity and feels especially resonant across genres. Featuring collaborations with JID, Dominic Fike, Paris Texas, and more, Kenny frames the project around the idea that “we live in a junkyard,” meaning the disposability, of artists and of people, and the tension between ambition and protecting your sense of self. Kenny sits in a compelling space between hip-hop and alternative rock, pulling inspiration from bands like Title Fight, The Smashing Pumpkins, and My Chemical Romance, pairing this influence with sharp lyricism and fluid, polished production.
