Play Ball

Kenny Mason Bikes Through The Neighborhood With Friends In His Grainy Video For ‘Play Ball’

by

Kenny Mason continues to thrive as a talented genre-bending act, and with festival season around the corner — and with smaller concerts making a return, too — the Atlanta rapper is destined to have a great summer. Before all that, Mason returns with a new video for “Play Ball,” a track housed on his most recent project Angelic Hoodrat: Supercut. The video finds him accompanied by his friends as they take a leisurely bike ride through a neighborhood. The track’s gritty production serves as a nice juxtaposition with the serene landscape they ride in.

In addition to “Play Ball,” Mason has in recent months also dropped videos for “Pup,” “4ever,” and “Much Money.” All three can also be found on Angelic Hoodrat: Supercut, which he released back in April to commemorate the one-year anniversary on his debut album, Angelic Hoodrat. The new edition came with additional features from Freddie Gibbs, Denzel Curry, Angel White, and Ambar Lucid.

As for what’s next, Mason is preparing to hit the road for festival season. Mason has locked in sets at this year’s upcoming Rolling Loud Miami, Lollapalooza, Music Midtown, Firefly, and HIVE Music festivals.

Kenny Mason is undoubtedly one of the more impressive rappers to find their footing in the genre over the past year. The Atlanta native gained increased attention as a result of his attention-grabbing Angelic Hoodrat album. The project captured his impressive lyricism and versatility as an up and coming act, but if you missed out on the project, Mason is giving you another chance to get onboard with the upcoming release of his Angelic Hoodrat: Supercut deluxe album. However, before that arrives, the rapper returns with his latest single, “Play Ball.” Mason takes a big step into the rock lane on the new track as he lays some vocals over the electric guitar-heavy production.

The new track is the third single Mason as released since dropping Angelic Hoodrat last year. It joins “Pups” and “Partments” as songs that will be housed on the upcoming Angelic Hoodrat: Supercut deluxe which arrives on April 16. Complex revealed that the project also boasts features from Freddie Gibbs, Ambar Lucid, and Angel White. Outside of his Angelic Hoodrat album, Mason also found himself besides JID and IDK on DJ Scheme’s “Cereal” track.
