Released last October, A Great Chaos garnered success due to its innovative sound and Ken Carson's distinctive style. With bold lyrics and experimental production, both the original tracklist and the deluxe edition have made a significant impact. Notably, tracks like “Fighting My Demons” have achieved gold status, joining “Yale" from his 2020 EP Teen X and "Freestyle 2" from his 2022 album X. Hailed as “genuinely cool, risky, and relentless” and one of “The 100 Best Songs of the 2020s So Far” by Pitchfork, A Great Chaos debuted impressively at No. 11 on the Billboard 200. It also won acclaim from industry giants like The New York Times, Billboard, Rolling Stone and Complex, was placed on several “Best Of 2023” lists, and earned praise from icons such as Jay Z, Drake, J. Cole, Red Hot Chill Pepper’s, Anthony Kiedis, and more. In under a year since its release, the album has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. Listen HERE.
This year Ken also made his debut Coachella performance, joined the iconic Red Hot Chili Peppers on their “Unlimited Love” tour, and most recently, made a huge splash at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash Festival. There, he not only delivered a memorable solo set but also joined the rest of Opium signees on stage with Playboi Carti for the first time.
