Question #1: Before we begin, I would like to thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions and share some of your life’s perspective. However, for some of our readers who may not be familiar with your persona, please introduce yourself. Who is Sean Cos Mason?
My name is Shon Johnson (born March 1990), known professionally as Sean Cos Mason. I’ am the only child, raised by a single mother who was an educator. I am an American rapper, songwriter, and an emcee. Born and raised in Montclair, New Jersey, I first attracted attention for my lyrical flows and my tagline Noneillah. I was well known in my community and one of the hottest underground rappers is the Tri-State area of New Jersey.
In my early years growing up, I remember going around the house singing and using my home furniture as drummers. At the age of two, my word usage was not the average two years old because my mother will always read the dictionary to me. Also, she will take me to college with her. Being said all that, I became intrigued with word building and writing due to the educational espouser.
I recalled my mother put me in a writing and reading extra curriculum program that the instructor was so impressed with the word usage that they asked me who taught me how to write. The instruction at the program and my high school ninth grade teachers were so delighted how I formulate the contents in the sentences they ask me to ask my mother to tutor for them.

Begin that my mother cultivating my cognitive ability to learn how to retain words and other educational skills; I was placed a gifted and talented program from first grade to seventh grade.

As I mentioned previously in my introduction my mother used to take me to college with her and read the dictionary to me. The educational espoused to me at an early age help me grow lyrically. It taught me how to express myself through the art of words. As a child my mother always gave me the free well to speak what is on my mind freely without disrespecting anyone. My mother was not that type of old fashion mother who believes a child should be seen not heard. She believed that a child is heard as long as they express themselves in a diplomatic manner.

While being the music group we started to travel to do rap battles. From that exposure, I became interested in becoming a rap artist.
