Back in 2018 we wrote an article called ‘9 Masked rappers whose songs are actually pretty dope 🎭‘ since then some of the artists removed their masks! Has the masked rapper’s hype died down? First let’s see who ditched the mask for a bait face.
K-TRAP
The South London rapper was very well known for his ski mask that he sported in all his tracks but in his song ‘Big Mood’ he reveals his face. Since then he has left the mask in the past.
