In the Summer of 2021, Ken Carson released his full-length debut
Project X, which marked a turning point in his career. For years,
the Atlanta native sharpened his skills in melodic rap,
culminating in a deal with Playboi Cartiβs OPIUM
Records/Interscope in 2019. However, Ken has evolved rapidly in
the past year and is testing new waters as he readies his next
project. Having made music since he was 13, the Atlanta native
eventually cut his first track Geeked Up, which showed his promise
as a burgeoning young act. In 2018 Ken began his talks with
Playboi Carti, inking a deal with Cartiβs OPIUM Records in 2019.
As the pandemic raged into 2020, Ken took it as an opportunity to
up the ante, releasing a series of EPβs, including Boy Barbie,
Lost Files and Teen X, the latter of which featured βYale,β which
cracked 13.5 million streams on Spotify alone. Ken kept the
momentum going into 2021, re-upping Teen X with Teen X: Relapsed,
Lost Files 2, and his critically acclaimed debut album Project X,
marking a gradual shift in Kenβs sound, tempering his signature
melodic rap delivery with more lyrically driven songs that
centered around storytelling. The albumβs lead single Rock N Roll
continues to make its rounds, as the music video is an
electrifying psychedelic trip, complete with vivid animations and
out of body experiences. Ken is hard at work on his follow-up
project, which he promises to pack with more experimentation, more
evolution, and a chance to keep growing with his fans.
