Ken Carson

Kenyatta Lee Frazier Jr., better known as Ken Carson, is an American rapper, singer, and record producer who hails from Atlanta, Georgia. Born on April 11, 2000, Carson’s journey into music began at the age of 13 when he started creating his own beats and rapping. Early on, he formed key collaborations with producer TM88, whose influence played a pivotal role in shaping his sound.

In 2015, Carson joined the 808 Mafia collective, becoming deeply involved in Atlanta’s vibrant hip-hop scene. His big break came in 2019 when Playboi Carti signed him to his Opium label, making Carson one of the first artists to join the label. This marked the beginning of his rise in the industry.

Carson’s discography is filled with impactful releases. In 2020, he dropped the EPs Boy Barbie and Teen X, followed by Teen X: Relapsed in early 2021. His debut studio album, Project X, was released later that same year, while his 2022 album X peaked at number 115 on the Billboard 200. His 2023 project, A Great Chaos, debuted at number 11, cementing his status in the industry.

Known for his energetic “rage rap” style, Carson blends electronic beats with high-energy flows, drawing inspiration from his mentors Playboi Carti and Lil Uzi Vert. Beyond music, he has become a cultural force, influencing both fashion and the broader hip-hop landscape. His journey from a local talent to an industry leader exemplifies the evolving nature of modern rap.
