The artist is on tour with Playboi Carti
Rising breakout artist Ken Carson officially unveils his highly anticipated track, “Yes,” in celebration of Halloween, via Opium/Interscope. After teasing the track across social media and stirring excitement online, Carson now delivers the official release, produced by Clif Shyne.
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. Earlier this year, he released his chart-topping album More Chaos, which earned him his first No. 1 on the Billboard 200, a breakthrough moment for the Atlanta-born artist and his biggest debut to date. Since its release, he’s earned four new RIAA platinum certifications for “Fighting My,” “Overseas,” “SS,” and his critically acclaimed album A Great Chaos.
More Chaos showcases production from his trusted circle, including Starboy, Lil 88, F1LTHY, Outtatown, Lucian, and Legion. On release night, Ken surprised fans with the bonus track “Off The Meter,” marking the first official Opium collaboration between Ken, Playboi Carti, and Destroy Lonely, a landmark moment for the label. 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.
Following the release, Ken embarked on his biggest headlining tour, the Chaos World Tour, in summer 2024. Known for high-octane, electrifying performances, Ken’s live shows are a spectacle of raw energy and dynamic stage presence, consistently generating viral moments.
Ken’s influence extends beyond music, earning co-signs from icons like Young Thug, Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jay-Z, Justin Bieber, and LeBron James, and even a shoutout on Jeopardy! In 2024, he toured as an opener for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, sold out a collaboration with Ed Hardy, took the stage at Rolling Loud Miami, and performed at ComplexCon in Las Vegas. Carson is continuing his rise in 2025 with major milestones, delivering a standout performance at Rolling Loud California, securing his first-ever headline festival slot at Rubicon, and starring in the latest Y/Project x Heavn by Marc Jacobs campaign.
