He is known for his unique style that features futuristic production, intense flow and a dynamic punk aesthetic.

Origins and influences

Ken Carson was involved in music in his youth and quickly came into contact with producers from the legendary 808 Mafia collective, where his talent was recognised by producer TM88, who is his uncle. A significant turning point in his career came in 2019 when Playboi Carti took him under their wing and signed him to their Opium label.

The album "X" (2022) followed a year later, debuting at No. 115 on the Billboard 200. His biggest commercial success was "A Great Chaos" (2023), which reached No. 11 on the Billboard 200 and cemented his position among the new faces of rap.
