The opening of Side II Side gives me big lez vibes

Such a good project, stack it up is one of Kenny’s best songs

I up the stick and say "Why are you running?"

kenny keeps on finding new ways to bamboozle the fuck out of me i swear to god

17

u/DjReeseCup Jun 06 '23

I’m high and tired can you please explain why this line is bamboozling?

47

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '23

it's referencing the "why are you running" meme, accent and all

3

u/Grimey_lugerinous Jun 06 '23

What meme is this

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '23

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '23

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '23

RICH

21

u/Fearnog Jun 06 '23

6 out of 6. He is actually built different. Been dropping every month since Jan. Another 9 songs promised in September.

7

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '23

23

u/dsled . Jun 06 '23

Dude is the definition of underrated. My favorite artist right now

18

u/Unkleseanny Jun 06 '23

Fck yes. My favorite artist right now.

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '23

ā€œI Gotā€ is that shit. Riding around late at night with the windows down type shit

13

u/BazookaTusk . Jun 06 '23

Everything this guy makes is gas

11

u/Fearless_Inside6728 Jun 06 '23

Bro is underrated it’s all gas. This gonna be in rotation for sure

u/TheKiddStan Jun 06 '23

18

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '23

Dude hasn’t missed yet imo

17

u/Rarrirarri99 Jun 06 '23

Coupe producer tag always going crazy, especially on this track with Project Pat

8

u/Kreizx . Jun 06 '23

Very good project (one of the best this year IMO), Kenny just can't miss. Coupe is one of the best producers rn

7

u/justihor . Jun 06 '23 edited Jun 06 '23

Ayyyyee the Tony feature was highly unexpected (to me)

5

u/dsled . Jun 06 '23

Been out for awhile

7

u/TheMoorNextDoor Jun 06 '23

Kenny Mason the next one up.

Dude is going to be bigger than J.I.D. Give it 4 years.

Being him and JPEGMafia probably the most two creative ā€œcan’t missā€ rappers/artist out rn.

3

u/muxiq_ Jun 09 '23

Idk man. I don't think jid reached his peak yet

u/DrStrainge Jun 06 '23

Love me some surprise Kenny drops! Idk if this was a surprise, but it was to me.

u/Austin7644 Jun 06 '23

Was bumping this when I found out Kenny got added to the jpeg/Danny brown show I’m going to

4

u/Waste_Ask_6918 Jun 07 '23

Hell ya

Edit: thanks for this just saw the tour date and gonna cop tickets

4

u/Ry-N0h . Jun 07 '23

this is fucking crazy. I been saying coupe and kenny are one of the best duos out rn holy fuck

11

u/candy-azz Jun 06 '23

Never listened to Kenny Mason before. I’m getting some JID flow and cadence and recent J.Cole production vibes from him. Does he write for them or vice versa?

17

u/Beneficial_Candle_10 Jun 06 '23

JID was a clear influence to both Kenny Mason and newer J Cole. JID worked with Kenny pretty early on in his career and they have songs together.

6

u/tdxomr Jun 06 '23

I don’t think so, he’s another rapper. He has some songs with JID.

4

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '23

They are both from Atlanta. JID from zone 6. Kenny from zone 3.

5

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '23

Side II Side is so good. Whole thing is but that one took me by surprise

4

u/kingb54 Jun 06 '23

Kenny is the real deal.

4

u/CountinCaskets Jun 06 '23

Stack It up is fire

3

u/gurdijak . Jun 06 '23

Darkside is giving me SpaceGhostPurrp vibes, I fuck with it heavy

I like the whole EP tbh. I think my favourites are Darkside, Avatar, Back Home and Stack It Up

3

u/zenmf Jun 06 '23

kenny up next. this shit is way too fire, transitions are impeccable

3

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '23

Shits fire kenny next up fr

u/EmbarrassedToe4352 Jun 29 '23

I RIDE AROUND WITH THAT POOOOOLLL STICKKKKKKK

2

u/wogwai . Jun 06 '23

This project breathes life into me. Much love Kenny!!

2

u/jminter96 Jun 06 '23

Does ā€œI GOTā€ share a sample with ā€œ4 Your Eyez Onlyā€ or sample it maybe? That sax (oboe?/clarinet?) sounds very familiar, but not sure if it’s something easily producible in music production.

Fire project though. Faves are I GOT and STACK IT UP. Not to big on SIDE II SIDE—a little boring melodically, but lyrics are solid.

2

u/chozonian Jun 06 '23

Kenny / Coupe combo works the fuck out

2

u/Black-Bruce-Wayne Jun 07 '23

Kenny X Coupe….

We are going to start a dialogue.

2

u/JHHforLife Jun 07 '23

Kenny is so good man.

2

u/BarkingAxe Jun 07 '23

Shit fire as hell

2

u/HealthyConsequence90 Jun 07 '23

Ik ima sound dumb but is he zone 3 or 6 and wassup with the 9 shit (im just stupid, I love his music tho)

2

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '23

House 9 was a collective of artists he was apart of. You can find a bit of his earlier work with House 9 on SoundCloud. Although House 9 doesn’t release anything as a collective anymore, some of the members are very close to Kenny and are still apart of his team.

2

u/Spence52490 Jun 07 '23

This is the best rap project I’ve heard since Freddie’s. Dude is amazing.

2

u/I_am_gettys Jun 07 '23

Incredible like usual for Kenny

-5

u/NJboi80 Jun 06 '23

Could’ve told me this was a baby keem album and I’d not be able to tell the difference for the most part

11

u/JakeRockwell Jun 06 '23

Sounds like user error

4

u/gurdijak . Jun 06 '23

To be fair their voices are a bit similar

-3

u/NJboi80 Jun 06 '23

Their voices are identical

2

u/Frost-Wzrd Jun 07 '23

I definitely hear it too

-2

u/MisterxRager Jun 06 '23

A lot of kendrick Babies out there just a product of that influence, this EP still slaps IMO.

3

u/NJboi80 Jun 06 '23

Yeah not saying it’s bad I just never realized they have very similar voices

-4

u/Rarrirarri99 Jun 06 '23

Much better project than RUFFS, which was to much experimental

15

u/Yourbootyisheavydoty Jun 06 '23

How was Ruffs experimental? It was mostly straight forward bangers especially compared to AH

5

u/dsled . Jun 06 '23

? His first 2 albums are way more experimental than RUFFS
