Ken Carson has been establishing himself as one of the biggest stars in the hip-hop scene behind a successful 2025 year. The Atlanta-native artist dropped his most successful album, More Chaos, back in April selling 59,500 units in its first week landing him his first No.1 album on the Billboard 200. While actively touring with the rest of the OPIUM members on the Antagonist 2.0 tour, he dropped his newest single “catastrophe” on November 5th just days after releasing “yes” on Halloween after previews were circulating online with fans eager for the full release. More Chaos follows the success of his previous album release, A Great Chaos, which features multiple RIAA Platinum certified tracks such as “Overseas,” “Fighting My Demons,” and “SS.”
More Chaos captivates Ken’s signature use of heavy 808s and rage influenced sound in his production working alongside his tightly-knitted circle of producers. The project provided a highly anticipated collaboration between OPIUM members Playboi Carti and Destroy Lonely on “Off The Meter,” a track that marks the first collaboration with the 3 of them at once. His Lord of Chaos tour highlighting the More Chaos album, was reportedly cancelled so he could join Playboi Carti for the highly anticipated Antagonist 2.0 tour which features all of Playboi Carti’s signed artists.
It’s no surprise Ken has amassed a quick following after signing with Playboi Carti’s OPIUM label back in 2019. Quickly becoming one of the most prominent members on the label, Ken Carson has gone to deliver electrifying performances at Rolling Loud festivals, ComplexCon, sold over 230,000 tickets for his “Chaos World Tour” in 2024, and even managed to perform as a headliner for music festival, Rubicon. Additionally, his albums have gained recognition from New York Times, Rolling Stone, and Billboard. The mix of heavy gritted 808s blended with his style of punk-rap is what makes his sound unique and makes his sets a main attraction for fans.
The 25 year old is proving he’s solidifying his stardom in the music industry and showing us that there is no end to the heights the young superstar is climbing.
