Trailblazing artist Ken Carson has just released the deluxe edition of his groundbreaking album, A Great Chaos. Following the massive success of the original release, fans can now enjoy an expanded experience with seven new tracks, including the highly acclaimed "overseas." This track, which debuted in April, amassed over three million global streams on Spotify and Apple Music within the first 24 hours, marking Carson's biggest streaming debut ever. "Overseas" also earned Carson his first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Commended by XXL, VIBE, Rolling Stone, and others, the track was hailed as one of the best new releases. The face noted, "his voice soars over dirty, psychedelic synths in a way which feels strangely epic," while Hypebeat praised, "'overseas' finds the rapper in his zone over an electric beat." Listen to A Great Chaos (Deluxe) HERE.

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 on the scene. This edition delves deeper into the voice of an artist whose raw, irreplicable energy exemplifies his fearless approach to the craft. Hailed as "genuinely cool, risky, and relentless" 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, and Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis. Notably, tracks like "Fighting My Demons" have achieved gold status certification by the RIAA, marking Ken's third such milestone after previous successes with "Yale" from his 2020 EP Teen X and "Freestyle 2" from his 2022 album X.

This year, Ken also made his debut Coachella performance, joined by 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. Starting this past week, Ken Carson has begun to embark on his expansive headline tour, "The Chaos World Tour," which kicked off July 8 at Warehouse at CFF in Orlando, Florida. Fans have already begun to bring the chaos, with last night's performance in Miami Beach nearly getting shut down as a result of the rowdy, unyielding energy of the 1,000-person mosh pit. The North American leg will will feature standout shows at Los Angeles' Shrine Expo Hall on July 20-21, a three-night stint at Terminal 5 in New York City from August 20-22, and a hometown performance at the Coca-Cola Roxy in Atlanta on August 26. The UK/EU leg will kick off on September 15 in Manchester, UK, and conclude on October 5 in Prague, Czech Republic. Tickets are available HERE.
