JUMPIN IN is the first track for Kenny Mason's upcoming studio album and was released along with an accompanying music video for his official studio album. The video, directed by Michael Janey, was uploaded to his YouTube channel one day after the song dropped.

The song has a runtime of 2:43 minutes and was produced by COUPE. The lyrics find Kenny reflecting on his rise to success while simultaneously showing love to the people who supported him during his early days.

Notable bars from this song are cited below:

"They thought I was green 'til I hoped out on that Green Line / These ni**as got green eyes, pointing them at me now / Learned about the killers, I know what it takes to be one / I learned, without a trigger finger you can't make a peace sign"

Track 6: US

US was released alongside JUMPIN IN as the sixth track from Kenny Mason's upcoming album. The rapper also released a visualizer on his official YouTube channel for the single the same day US was distributed to streaming services.

The song has a runtime of 2:26 minutes and was produced by Kenny Mason, Poison Thorn, COUPE, and DvDx. The lyrics find the rapper flexing his familiar connections and how his "people" will never let him down. Some notable bars from US include:

"Sparked up, bi*ch, I'm ready to surge / Racked up, bi*ch, I'm ready to burn / Ask bruh' if he ready to burn / Masked up, we ain't scared of no germs"
