Ken Carson's Musical Evolution

growing up in Atlanta Ken Carson was always surrounded by music often finding himself in rooms with artists like Young Thug and even Travis Scott Ken pretty much had front row seats to the rap industry early on But despite his connections Ken didn't ride anyone else's wave Instead he built his own style developing a distinct sound with his own producers and evolving it with every single album Whether it be rapping on EDM inspired rage beats or dark distorted grunge beats that many describe as sounding as just noise Here is the evolution of Ken Carson Before Ken started officially making music he was always in and around the music scene Growing up in Atlanta often called the hip hop center of gravity From a young age Ken was hanging out with the likes of Travis Scott Young Thug and Playboy Carti Oh Luxury T Yeah bro I've been knowing him since I was like 13 Him and Travis Ken had many connections to these artists and producers from early on which mostly came from his childhood best friend Lil 88 The two had met for his girlfriend at the time And one day whilst the two teams were on FaceTime call together Ken would find out Lil 88 has family ties to TM88 and Southside Lil 88 is in the back That's TM88's nephew And that's Southside's nephew That's how I like got into like everything I was on the phone with a girl and like he was on the other end I'm like who the is that like it was him And I was I was watching 808 Mafia videos like while we're on the phone and he like that's my uncle and I'm like no it's not but then he like we were young as so he was like blunt as just put him on the phone and I was like yo I'm trying to come over there and work At 15 Ken started to go to the studio with little 88 to TM88 studio but he skipped so many school days that he was eventually sent to a military academy His stay was supposed to be six months but he was kicked out after two for sneaking in a phone and calling girls a real player And his connections to At Mafia allowed him to befriend superstars the likes of Young Thug who enjoyed Ken's presence so much he even allowed him to stay over at his crib alone and bring him to his insane studio sessions With him always being in and around music and in studios Ken had started recording music on the low just for himself really until TM88 and Southside told him to play them something one day where they were shocked and ended up signing him to the 808 mafia collective I used to be the one making music but not even on no series just on some like having something to do when they ain't doing nothing but it was fun to me I was playing some music one day and then Southside and TM was like who the is that i'm like that me They like hell no play it again And that's when I knew like if they flew my [ __ ] I knew the world of my [ __ ] Which really leads us into Ken Carson's first era boy Barbie Which funny enough if you didn't know is how he got his name As the male character from Barbie is called Kenneth Carson And with Ken's first name being Ken Yetta it kind of fits And since we're on the topic of names fun fact unlike now he used to have a dollar sign in his name Ken Carson came from u my name Ken the Barbie doll Ken Carson Barbie PJ got a hard lifestyle I just want to live like Now Kenna was originally releasing music since around 2017 on Soundcloud However all of that is unfortunately deleted and completely lost due to his angry girlfriend removing it all from the website And really the earliest official release we got from Ken before his debut EP was fold I can't go out like no ho Ken was originally going to release Boy in the March of 2019 under his label at the time 8way Mafia And his connection to the Atlanta based producer collective would explain why the original tease tracklist to the tape had production from legends such as TM88 Whezzy and Richie Sou which Ken teased on Twitter However this never ended up dropping because instead he ended up meeting and signing to one of the biggest and most influential artists of the new generation Playboy Carti Well actually I'm kind of lying because the two have actually known each other since Ken was literally a kid He would first meet Carti at a studio session with Southside but he wouldn't see him again until years later down the line at a show in LA where Ken would end up getting kicked out the venue for fighting But luckily for him Cardi had recognized him and got him a wristband And so he would be allowed back in And the two would then again reunite around 2019 and 2020 where Ken would play him a couple songs And by the third one Carti wanted to sign him to his Opian label I'm not going to lie Cardi told me he wanted to sign me before I was even like on my third song I played him like one song and like showed him my Instagram He was like "Bro I want to sign you." The project would officially end up dropping on the 12th of May in 2020 And instead of having senior 8028 Mafia members as previously stated the project would instead feature production credits from upcoming 808 Mafia producer Lil 88 alongside more notable names such as Richie Sou and DJ Moon who are both wellrecoognized Atlanta-based producers And even with this being his first project Ken still managed to get some solid features from Lil Yachty and British artist Lansancy Foe who at one point in time was also rumored to be signing to Opium On this tape we will hear Ken test out a lot of different sounds Whether it be rapping with heavy autotune over spacey beats such as gold medal or something more aggressive and raw such as Moshb and Geed Up no one really knew the direction Ken was taken However he did give fans a large taste of sounds in such a small project But as Kent said himself in his interview with OGM this project was really just so he has something to his name as of course since his girlfriend had deleted all his music He was now a rapper with no music out Ken had even stated how one of the songs geeked up was from 2017 and was one of the first songs he had recorded in a studio It's called Geeked Up but it's old as hell though I probably made it like 2017 But overall it was mid Songs like Gold Medal Geeked Up and Pink Panther have some cool vibes but not something I would go back to regularly But for a first official tape it was okay Ken would quickly move on from the entire boy Barbie thing though probably too sweet and fruity as of course he had just signed to Playboy Cart's Opium so he had to go with something that had a bit more aura and mystique This led to Ken dropping another tape titled Teen X in the August of 2020 with him not only completely changing his image but also his production The majority of this tape was produced by the back then upcoming Dutch duo Star Boy and Out oftown who are now seen as the pioneers of this entire rage genre creating this EDM mixed with hiphop production style with the trio collaborating to land a huge hit together Ken's first big moment Yale With this song now nearing 400 million streams on Spotify it is still his biggest song to this day and was the first song to really put Ken on the map And even though it is one of his oldest it's still regarded as one of his best especially at his shows due to the heavy synths and fun lyrics [Music] This connection to these two producers is probably one of the most important of Ken's career as they have produced pretty much every single one of his biggest songs to date and still continue to produce for him 5 years down the line completely shifting and influencing his sound every time I mean we saw how great the jump from boy Barbie to Teen X was Without them I'm not sure what Ken would really be rapping on Star Boy had made some that sounded like some that I made and I asked him like Mhm Like how the hell the hell you even hear that cuz I never even put that song out It was like I've been following dude And I [ __ ] with him ever since that day I talked to him every day on FaceTime Like man out of town Those two I'm on the phone with them in a group FaceTime call all day every day It seemed like Ken was really perfecting two sounds at once A psyched out mellow style or an aggressive rage approach which was not only inspired from Ken's substance heavy party lifestyle but also one of his idols the Florida rapper XXXion known for his aggressive rapping on songs so Just look at me To me X was like a big energy bro Cuz it's like I feel like a rebel Like um I'm not really with everything that the average person's with or like I'm not thinking like the average mother That's why I so much After T next Ken had originally announced that he was going to drop Boy Barbie 2 a follow-up to his debut tape but this never ended up happening Most likely due to the fact that around this time artists were allowed to perform due to co with it seeming like Ken didn't see the point of dropping if he couldn't perform live Instead Ken would wait and take his time to develop his sound so when he does drop he can bring something fresh and unique to the table Ken would continue teasing the project throughout 2020 though with him even showing off the cover art whilst hinting that there will be more features But in usual Opium style Ken would lie and not actually release any more music in 2020 However he would get a huge moment after he co-produced a song Bino alongside his childhood best friend Lil 88 and the Dutch producer Out of Town off of a Playboy Carti's high anticipated Whole Lot of Red album And not only would he get a production credit but Carti would dedicate an entire song titled to him Teen X featuring Future Then moving into 2021 on the 20th of January Ken would put out a compilation of throwaway songs on Soundcloud titled Lost Files Basically songs he still wanted to put out but weren't good enough for an official release And personally as someone who loved early Ken Carson this wasn't really it These were total throwaways to me I would say out of the six tracks that dropped the only real solid one was Opium And even though these were surprisingly bad the next week Ken would release probably one of his best early pieces of music As on the 31st of January of 2021 Ken would drop Teen X relapsed the deluxe to the original Teen X tape with him telling fans that this will be the last mixtape suggesting the next project will be an official album Six tracks entirely solo with the easiest way to describe this project really being Teen X Evolved The beats were catchier Ken sounded smoother with nicer flows Everything was just better again This time he had the same selection of styles the fun bouncy songs such as TX Babe Butterfly and Higher [ __ ] whilst also having songs for his shows such as Teenager Ranger with Ken notably saying in an interview around this time period that he wants people to turn on his music when they want to feel happy which may be the inspiration behind him making this style of music and always having a big grin on his face Like when you're mad or sad or something like turn me on when you want to get happy or turn up I don't never want to make any music where I feel like anybody's down or trying to make anybody sadder I don't like that type of music And not only did Ken perfect his sound on this tape but also his visuals edited by the notable underground video editor Nightive the crazy visuals perfectly matched Ken's sound Now even though this project did not have a standout viral song it was definitely a step in the right direction as it was way more polished and solid across the board with the project featuring the same production as before Pretty much entirely Star Boy and Out oftown with additional credits from Lila Rock Bailey and Jubilee After this project was released is when Ken would start performing small underground shows which he would quickly become known for due to the high energy and chaotic performances [Applause] [Music] And after that the Teen X era was officially over And as Ken had promised he would no longer be putting out EPs and was officially in album mode with it looking like he was naming his debut album Project X inspired by the iconic movie Project X Or did the movie copy him but before that Ken would feed his fans with another Lost Files Released in the July of 2021 Ken put out another handful of throwaway songs Again I wouldn't really say a lot of these were anything to write home about apart from Teen Bean Glock 19 and Eminem Of course with Teen Bean being a song that holds a lot of history due to this being a supposed diss track at the now retired underground rapper Can with Glock 19 also being a great song Ken was using this soft voice which really fit well onto this mellow beat he was rapping over But I would say most of these songs were similar to what he put on Tex and the Deluxe Overall nothing crazy And sorry to interrupt the video but over the past couple weeks I've been working extremely hard with my friend to launch our own poster store We've already had the Carti posters out for like a week now and we've just put on new Ken Carson and More Chaos posters Boom Brand new Ken Carson More Chaos posters I've even got like a fresh one here or two actually just printed All custom made not drop shipped from China Yo tell me this doesn't look sick you know but honestly I think this one looks the best I don't know It might be that one or the other one But yeah these aren't drop [ __ ] from China We made this customs ourself producing and shiming them all ourselves Go check them out domicowski.com And yeah I just think it looks sick Like I'm telling you imagine the hood comes around and you got this above your bed You're getting laid But yeah domicowski.com got hella cheap shipping to the USA and the UK and even Europe We ship worldwide So yeah let's get back into the video And then eventually on the 23rd of July in 2021 Ken will drop his debut studio album Project X Taking huge inspiration from the 2012 movie which is based on a bunch of high schoolers throwing the most chaotic party known to man with the cover art being the same as the movies and just that entire party and substance aesthetic being a huge part of this era of Ken As he said himself it relates back to how he lived during his teen days go to crazy parties and doing substances I feel like everybody who watches that movie feel like they should have been to a party like that throughout their life Me personally I've been to a party like that and it's like a old video of me online like at the party I'm like on top of a roof or some [ __ ] and I like turn the camera around It's like a million people This project would once again be predominantly produced by Star Boy Out of Town and Little ETA whilst having other notable producers to chip in such as Lo KP and Rock The project continued the entire EDM beats with heavy autotune probably being my favorite style or era of Ken and also of course the more aggressive songs such as Hela and Clutch with Ken just overall sounding way more comfortable on this project and had way better quality of sound or mix in general you could say you know on his past projects you could tell he was an underground rapper that wasn't too sure on what he was trying to accomplish whereas on these he's just way more confident and clearer And yeah as I said personally this is just like my favorite style of Ken It's just so fun and addicting Songs like Change So What and Party All Day just have these bouncy mellow beats which Ken fits perfectly on and really just put a huge smile on my face every time I listen to them After Project X Ken would join his label boss Playboy Carti for the King Vamp tour where alongside Destroy Lonely Ken would open up the shows an amazing opportunity to show fans not only his music but also his energy which he did perfectly at these shows As even though many of the people there may have not known who he was the crowd will still turn with this video from the King Vampl on the 8th of November in 2021 in Los Angeles showing kids jumping down from the seating area to storm the standing section giving us a perspective on how much of a diehard fan base Ken had from early on [Applause] I've seen Ken Carson live before but this performance just felt different It felt so cinematic and theatrical It felt like I was in a movie when he performed the song Hela What a great feeling I will never forget The show was soing legendary bro There was so much chaos Ken Carson set was crazy as too He made all the people with sea tickets start jumping off the terrace running downstairs through security At one point security started punching everybody Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha With him even then being given a nighttime show at Rolling Loud that same year Ken was making huge steps forward in his career and it would only continue to get better as after this Ken would put out his best lost files yet full of incredible songs On the 29th of January in 2022 Ken would release Lost Files 3 featuring longtime friend Lil Tekker Offset and freshly signed OPM associate Destroy Lonely But if you know you know We don't really talk about the Offset song as it was basically confirmed that Carti gave him a verse from him to Ken As when a blog page posted the song Offset would comment "Don't know dude." With Murder Music being probably the best song out of all of these To me this feels like the first actual Rage song from Ken that showed us the route he was heading down Like of course we had Yale Teenager Rager and Teen Bean which were aggressive sounding and I guess had aspects of Rage in them but this one was probably the most polished and pure Rage sounding one yet We will also see Ken experiment on this tape a little bit His first time on a filthy beat via shoot which honestly sounded pretty atrocious Ken tried doing this high-pitched almost carti hollowed red V2 style but it just didn't really work And then I influence produced by Earl on the bee which gave us a nice laid-back feel Now after this lost files we wouldn't see the usual pattern of Soundcloud tape official release soundcloud tape official release Instead would put out another lost files unofficially this time where we would see a huge leap in sound On the 8th of June in 2022 X23 would quote unquote leak in full on Soundcloud giving us 10 absolutely amazing Ken Carson songs The opening track X for Breakfast featuring the show Lonely would show us Ken attempting a filthy beat again this time flowing on it incredibly with Loan complimenting him very well giving us crazy energy Alongside this new electric rage sound we would get more fun songs such as stick pop and pink featuring Travis Scott snee so FGO which again are just three really fun electric bouncy songs even though Ken isn't saying much and is drowned in 10 layers of autotune and we're not finished yet Aguafina produced by Dutchman Lo Ken would give us a track where he deeply reminisces about his ex-girlfriend Probably one of his most popular leagues to date Is there a better Ken love song than this maybe I need you With Ken then ending off the tape with three more locos produced tracks Should have listened Lil Vamp which samples Carti and Uzi's 2017 wake up like this And the final track Delinquent another filthy track Overall a huge jump in sound from Project X and Lost Files 3 with him really moving away from the more mellow beats and heading deeper into the entire EDM rage style Anyways let's move on to X Ain't no TX no more it's just X B Ken said on track seven of his sophomore album X Ken has evolved from being the teeny tiny teen X into the big boy just X now whatever that means I don't even know if that even made sense Um which can also be seen in the cover art of the project where he's crossing his arm into an X shape whilst flipping us off during his toddler stages Or maybe he's like 10 I don't know Released on the 8th of July 2022 X gives us Ken's probably most hated on project to date I remember when this released people were just hating it Especially that around this time Lone also dropped No Stylist So people were like "Oh yeah destroy Lonely He's way better more versatile and was just like better than Ken." It was not great times being a Ken Carson fan back then But to be fair no Silus was just simply that good Anyways whether it be due to it being repetitive or given us two songs in a row with pretty much the exact same beat new and [Music] gems Overall when this project first released it was just getting a lot of hate I do see where people are coming from though Of course I think the project is a bit dragged out repetitive and lacks replay value Because from personal experience if you try to listen to this project more than once you will get a headache or all the songs will just start sounding the same However this is one of my favorites and really foreshadowed where Ken was heading with his sound Most of the production on the electric sound and rage songs such as MDMA Murder Music and [ __ ] 12 came from Guess Who star Boy and Out of Town But probably the most important song of not only this project but Ken's career was Freestyle too As not only did this go insanely viral setting off a Tik Tok trend but with this song being a filthy produced dark distorted mess it showed Ken what the fans liked just completely dark grunge rage which was probably what inspired him to completely step away from the bouncy electric beats and go chaos instead which leads us onto Ken's next era A Great Chaos Well actually I lied Ken would also drop a deluxe 2X probably due to the heavy criticism with him feeling like he potentially needed to give us something better to the fans so they don't hate too hard which is when he gave us a different sound no one really expected as 3 months after X on the 31st of October Kenny will drop extended he gave us five new tracks the opening song freestyle 3 being another pure rage song and with this being another one of the most streamed songs from the project it seemed like again the fans really enjoyed the dark grunge rage style with the four other songs being very mellow and nothing like we've gotten before featuring production from Earl on the beat Bart How Lucrative Lucien Sort and Jonah Abraham And with these songs being amazing I don't really see them getting talked about very often Probably because the deluxe wasn't very anticipated And when X released Ken was just not very big like he had like one or two monthly listeners I think maybe even three monthly listeners after like Freestyle 2 blew up Considerably small compared to where he is now The next release of music from Ken would be a Lost Files This time Lost Files 4 where Ken would evolve his sound once again Released on the 3rd of January of 2023 Ken would give us eight tracks which sounded completely different when we got on X Instead of the usual bouncy EDM rage beats we got more so of dark grunge beats Well kind of Suicidal Bosses and Back from the Dead showcases that style similar to Freestyle 2 However the rest of the tape was songs that sounded like they would in fact fit on X Whilst on this project we did have the usual Little 88 Star Boy and Out of Town production he also has some new people on the board with the likes of Nick Mirror Cliff Shane and Gabe This project played a pretty important role as it laid out the foundations for his next album And with one of the tracks from the tape Free Young Thug going viral on Tik Tok this was a great start to his next roll out And now as we move closer to the release of A Great Chaos we weren't only seeing Ken switching up his sound but also his entire aesthetic As we know beforehand Ken's image was always that dark mysterious opium aesthetic However Ken would now start pushing this very eerie and quite odd gore imagery He would even launch an Instagram account under the name A Great Chaos where he would post images which contained blood guts and references to an extreme website called Live League And this wasn't something Ken was doing just to gather attention and controversy around his name On social media fans would regularly see him liking animal gore videos and even confirmed in an interview that's what he likes to do in his spare time And that was really only the surface of the controversy surrounding Ken's new rebrand As of course throughout the entire OPM label there is many references to Satan especially of their infamous upside down cross which in fact featured on the official album cover you see today Ken was once even caught on body cam explaining to a police officer that is actually the same Peter's cross But I think we all know that isn't true And eventually in the October of 2023 Friday the 13th we would see Ken deliver his most anticipated and biggest project yet A Great Chaos With fan grails such as Jennifer's Bodies Paranoid and Singapore all trending on Tik Tok Ken was about to go mainstream 18 tracks where Ken gave us his biggest selection of sounds yet We had the perfect mix of moshbit bit songs such as Fighting My Demons Hardcore Me and My Cup and It's Over whilst also showcasing us his experimental side with the two Nightcore inspired tracks and even rapping on more generic trap beats on songs such as like this featuring Lone and Uzi and Rockstar Lifestyle There was some upset with one of the songs called Paranoid as Bryce did a release of the album Ken had recently played the song at UK Festival Wireless where it sounded pitched or slowed down However when Ken had previewed the snippet previously it sounded much faster and at a higher pitch On release fans complained that the official version sounded boring whereas the one previewed as a snippet was better as it fit Ken Car's uptempo sound [Music] But even with this disagreement it still ended up being one of the more popular songs on the album simply as it was an anticipated snippet debuting at the number 11 position while selling almost 50,000 units in his first week Ken somehow went viral with a sound that no one really expected to blow up this much I mean even Drake reposted him Ken really developed this new grungy distorted sound out of the blue If you compare this to the project he released a year ago it sounded nothing alike And again as I mentioned earlier how I think this all came about is all down to Freestyle 2 The only song to really blow up from X the filthy produced Distorted Racetrack So Ken doubled down on what was working and it paid off And even though he really kept the same producers on this project Star Boy Out of Town Lil 88 the same ones that produced Teen X in 2020 he somehow delivered a completely different style and feel with this obviously marking Ken's best and most popular project today If you try to listen to it from start to finish your ears might go numb but it is incredible and definitely worth it And the best way to listen to this project isn't at home It's at a show [Applause] A big portion of Ken's image already was these crazy rage shows which can be seen all the way back in 2021 when he was opening up for the Narcissist tour But with a great chaos he was able to take it to the next level I mean he even made Succubus a mellow love song which is also a distorted rage song if that makes sense It's amazing I mean Ken even spoke about how he struggles to make sad music because he's not a very emotional person So it seems like he just figured it out in a way with his own style I don't know if I would do it from a different name but I definitely been like trying to tap into sad music but I'm not a super emotional person so it's like very hard Like I salute everyone who made the sad music cuz it's like you walked up to the mic and He's just like poured your heart out Like that's the craziest thing ever It seemed like Ken had also got this inspiration to make more chaotic rage music as he knew people would be appealed by it when they saw his shows So a great chaos It's regarded as Ken's best album by a mile especially to the newer younger fans with this also being probably the biggest underground source of release we've seen since that 2018 era Now Ken obviously isn't underground anymore but prior to A Great Chaos I would say he was And the only other artist who made it out and competed with Ken was Ye Well shortly after the release of AGC Ken would tease his fans in a tweet that said more with it potentially hinting at a deluxe a lost files or an entire new album Nobody really knew Well eventually in the July of 2024 Ken would give us seven new tracks with them surprisingly having a different sound than AGC Apart from Sydney Sweeney which could slot right into the original project instead of giving us another handful of distorted rage tracks he gave us more of these bouncy fun style of songs like a way better and polished version of X Yet if money was Cocoa Puff's hero cuckoo Ken was just trying to have fun with this one And with none of these tracks being produced by a store by an out of town as we later would find out he had a falling out with one of the Dutchmen over religious beliefs Ken instead had producers such as Cliff Shane Legion Sky and Lucien to name a few which to me is why this deluxe sounded so different to the original album And of course I can't cover the deluxe without mentioning Overseas which did drop as a single before the deluxe itself probably as it was a highly anticipated snippet and Ken knew it would perform well by itself which it did as it gave Ken his first Billboard charting song debuting at the 79th position garnering over 2 million streams in its first day Absolutely nutty And to me at first I thought this deluxe was Ken trying to test out a different style as this is what his next album will sound like But I was completely wrong as the next project was literally just a gay chaos but on steroids Anyways I don't really see the deluxe being talked about much I personally think it was great and I like the fact Ken bring a less rage distorted sound And after a Ken would continue down this road of rage Not only would his imagery get even more controversial with him getting a huge pentagram tattoo on his chest which had many fans concerned but his shows would get even crazier Most notably at Coachella in the April of 2024 when Ken was performing right before Lana Del Rey meaning Lana fans were inside the crowd to get in early But little did they know Ken Carson himself was going to ruin their day You be scared You should have stayed the home [Music] With this moment being very similar to when Carti performed at Lola Palooa in 2021 performing right before Miley Cyrus's set where you could hear her fans screaming on the live stream Anyways Kane would announce a couple months before the official release that More Chaos would in fact be dropping on the 11th of April his birthday He would deliver a 22 song album which are perfectly described by the title's name More Chaos He would rekindle his relationship with Star Boy meaning the Dutch duo of him and Out oftown produced on the album with him overall really keeping the same producers around Legion Cliff Shane Sky Filthy Lucrative Lucien and so on I mean I think it was to be expected The project is literally titled More Chaos It's just an extension of a great chaos We did get a Pierre Born B on track 21 Ghoul which was nice as them two have had issues in the past as Pierre didn't want to work with Ken when he was up and coming which he took personally and even said in a tweet he doesn't want to work with him But in the end it seemed like they worked it out But weirdly earlier that night Swamp Iso who did the shouting on Iron Music would tweet out haha which if you didn't know he tweets when Carti is about to drop music So of course fans were anticipating a Carti feature on More Chaos However the project would drop at midnight and we got 21 tracks with no Carti However a short time later another track would be added Off the Meter featuring his label Mate Destroyed Lonely and their label boss Playboy Carti marking his first collaboration with any of the Opium artists But the song dropping after the album's official release isn't the only weird thing about it It's also the fact this song is around three years old as you may be able to tell from Ken's softer voice and the less distorted beat sounding like something that would slot right into Project X or even X I also think this is really interesting because you listen to the entire album with these brand new super distorted rage songs then you play the last track and can instantly hear the difference Really showing us how much Ken has completely shifted his sound in such a short time I have no idea why this song dropped or why Carti is on it because I think they could drop a way better more recent track but I think it's still amazing and one of my favorites of the album So that is the evolution of Ken Carson starting off as Boy and now turning into the Lord of Chaos Quite a career change you know his aesthetic was like pink Barbie kind of like this player aesthetic And now he's the demonic Lord of Chaos with a pentagram tattered across his chest And that's before we even talk about the change in his music He used to make like these bouncy kind of like Carti Pierre inspired stuff and now just makes distorted grunge but it is his own sound And it is amazing how you know an artist literally develops his own genre and sound Like it's kind of a subgenre but you get the point But yeah I hope you guys enjoyed the evolution of Ken Carlson Like subscribe comment have a great day Let me know actually which one is your favorite era of Ken I would say it's the Lost Files 3.5 I think it is Lost Files 35 with like eggs for breakfast that song with so FGO Aquafina I think that has to be my favorite But yeah let me know in the comments Go to domicowski.com Get Cotti Ken Carson posters More coming soon And I'll see you guys in the next one
