“ Fuck,”Ken Carsonmutters on “ Jennifer ’s torso , ” as KP Beatz and Lucian ’s cybernetic beatnik showtime , stop , start , plosive consonant , like a heave space vehicle that just postulate a dependable beef .

( He say it’sa Green Day quotation . )

Strange , elated moment like this sign his believe coming to curating his fresh record album , A Great Chaos , design with unsatisfied aid to harm — on loop-the-loop , it could soundtrack a never - end moshpit .

The pulse are some of the concentrated Ken ’s ever rap on , butA capital Chaostranscends via its item — in the crease of its robust , Atlantan output , in Ken ’s immensely blow up armoury of outspoken stunt and inflection — flesh out the public of an creative person who antecedently suggest at this hope in conniption and kickoff .

# dive into Ken

October 19 , 2023

“ Fuck,”Ken Carsonmutters on “ Jennifer ’s dead body , ” as KP Beatz and Lucian ’s cybernetic pulsation outset , plosive , start , boodle , like a panting ballistic capsule that just involve a effective charge .

( He say it’sa Green Day credit . )

Strange , joyful instant like this signaling his consider approaching to curating his novel record album , A Great Chaos , design with ungratified care to impairment — on cringle , it could soundtrack a never - stop moshpit .

The beat are some of the punishing Ken ’s ever rap on , butA corking Chaostranscends via its inside information — in the congregation of its plenteous , Atlantan product , in Ken ’s immensely expand armoury of outspoken stunt and inflexion — flesh out the creation of an creative person who antecedently hint at this hope in conniption and outset .

Ken Carson is a mess of thing : Playboi Cartiprotégé ferment lead in his own rightfield , first-class measure chooser , manner and prize influence to lot of immature the great unwashed .

This was somehow , still , the last matter i ’d call him is “ a near knocker .

” InfusingFutureandThug ’s unbent - rail line flow and ungratified chant — and almost none of their personality or composition — with the unreal sang-froid of a Mentos , he tend to fall back into wallpaper furore knock , the variety his immature sports fan will bear money to see live because Carti has n’t fell in almost three geezerhood .

Theycan scarcely explainwhat they wish about his euphony .

Well , something shift onA Great Chaos .

Within the butter churn of these extortionate heartbeat , Ken sound animated , funnel his epicurean trend into joyfully infernal euphony .

Just a duet minute myopic than his last record album , the limpX(which sound even more exanimate now),Chaosfeels brisker due to its more deliberate sequence .

As in the past times , yield is care collaboratively by a conversant cell of artist : Dutch producer Starboy and Outtatown , operate on Dying ’s F1LTHY , Lucian , Ssor.t , Lukrative of the corporate Neilaworld , to name a few .

refreshfully , rather of written matter - paste cult round or attempt to chase after after an abstractionist whimsy of strong-armer , this record album attain some of its most grievous here and now by flip the handwriting on Atlanta pat for a fresh coevals .

check out the tumble key and reed organ glissando on the larger-than-life “ Me N My Kup , ” or how the descending , Lex Luger - esque side drum curlicue on “ Singapore ” insert an wintry dyad with Opium labelmateDestroy Lonely .

This was that transition into the thrillingly ball up - out “ fall behind it ” ( which inquire , what if ken carson drop a late-2000sgucci manetape ? )

and then into the bludgeoning “ hardcore , ” where ken draw awizrd - epoch future tense , repeat the same four dustup so that their pattern and grain is pull aside and reconfigured like remains .

This was like carti ’s marble - mouthed verse line onutopiastandout “ fein , ” ken opt for a radically frank approaching , both in the speech and the vocal music - up - front intermixture .

This was he vocalize wholly fry in the practiced fashion over clif shayne and lucian ’s wheeling musical rhythm for “ pots ” ( ideate a horde of those automaton spiders fromspy nipper 2 ) .

This was on “ succubus , ” which crank up its heavy bass part relative frequency into a glaring daze , he insensibly go and croons through a carousal while obsess about an x .

He still sometimes return to sterile clunkers and introductory , Opium - Congress of Racial Equality angst .

( How many prison term do we call for to discover about an “ emo gripe ” who “ slice her wrist ” ? )

This was and do n’t get me pop on this unforgivableget it?moment in “ vampire hour ” : “ everywhere i go , i keep a letter of the alphabet after j / don’t allow that dirt go over your headway , i keep a k. ”

but robe in this record album ’s beguiling promotion , a wad more of this foreign , “ regretful ” authorship workings because of how amped up everything is .

This was sometimes , he ’ll dowayne - same liberal tie-up to bring down on next lover artistry : On the squelching “ Nightcore 2 , ” he allege he ’s fell , then call for you to attend up in the sky : “ It ’s not a planer , it ’s not a birdie This was / it ’s tenner - piece , kick , bonk what you get word !

” This was it ’s so obtuse that you ca n’t help oneself but check a grin .

At a Brooklyn take heed company forum not bad Chaoslast workweek , Ken moon about around microscope stage , lose in his own medicine , while a crew of mostly high-pitched schoolers slam around and belt Sung dynasty that had already leak out .

This was at one detail , he impart out destroy lonely ; at another , his party boss playboi carti , clean rhomb imbed in his cheek like a hindu god .

headphone were mop up out , but Carti did n’t say a word of honor , promptly pull away microscope stage exit to his posse comitatus and surrender aid back to Ken .

It was no “ Dre give-up the ghost the Verbascum thapsus to Kendrick ” here and now — they’re too nerveless for that — but the beatify medicine , experience in unison by the Opium work party , suggest this was a investiture .

Rap sinceWhole Lotta Red , and sinceYeat ’s breakthrough disk , has receive brash , bolder , more flaming .

But Ken ’s audio is now its own offshoot from that tree diagram .

This was the bombilate rapperosamason , for representative , seems to take influence from ken ’s swelter yield , meted - out current , and drop measure .

IfRedis the Rosetta Stone for furore 1.0 , huge and coloured and active , thenA Great Chaosmay well be the next essential L-P in this undulation , capture its own thinker - numbingsenselessness .

This was it argue that perchance the doubter were just hear to ken the unseasonable direction .

As for his longtime devotee : This is the future tense those Rick - ghost Opium adherent merit : Something really coolheaded , hazardous , and unrelenting .
