Kenny Muney Counts Up on ‘Kenjamin Franklin’ Mixtape
With his twisting flow and quiet charisma, Kenny Muney has the Memphis rap game on lock. Paying tribute to his favorite founding father, the Paper Route Empire rapper personifies the money on his new tape, Kenjamin Franklin. The 8-track tape is a showcase for the artist’s wry personality, as he piles punchline after flex-heavy punchline through his satisfied smirk. With production from BandPlay, Yung Hurricane, and others, Kenjamin Franklin reverberates with the sounds of Memphis: soulful vocal samples, bluesy guitar licks, and high-octane trap percussion.
Album highlight “Tune Up” welcomes a guest appearance from Kenny’s mentor Young Dolph, allowing Kenny to rap with the late legend one more time. Featuring the recent singles “Nevaaa” and “Back In The Bach,” Kenjamin Franklin is available everywhere via Paper Route Empire.
Kenjamin Franklin continues the momentum from last year’s The Blue Seasons Super Deluxe, a 24-track behemoth that proved that Kenny Muney is fly in any weather. The South Memphis native shared several videos from the project, including “My $eason” and “4 Ever Or 4 The Moment,” both filmed during Kenny’s vacation to Finland.
With Kenjamin Franklin out now, it is officially Kenny Muney season.
