2025 has been a defining year for Ken Carson, who’s currently on the road with Playboi Carti for the Antagonist 2.0 arena tour.

The album, released on April 11th, marked a bold evolution of the style Ken introduced on A Great Chaos, a revolutionary blend of rap, punk, and electronic music he simply defines as “chaos.” AGC was Carson’s first top 10 entry on the Billboard 200 and claimed the No. 1 spot on Apple Music’s All-Genre chart, Spotify’s Global and U.S. charts, and HITS Top 50, amassing over 21 million streams on release day alone.
