Ken Carson to Release New Album "XPERIMENT" in Two Weeks

2:45 PM EDT on June 19, 2026

Unfortunately, Ken Carson failed to impress us with last year's More Chaos , but the Opium artist has a chance to redeem himself with Xperiment , his new album he's announcing today. And we don't have to wait too long; it arrives in just two weeks.

The Atlanta rapper has been building up the hype at festivals. Last month, he used his last-minute headlining set at Rolling Loud Orlando to debut a new 2hollis-produced track as well as a Playboi Carti collab called "Cover My Ears," which they performed again this past weekend at Chicago's Summer Smash festival. He's slated to headline ComplexCon in October in Las Vegas. He's also eligible to be nominated for a Grammy for Best New Artist, due to recent rule changes .

Revisit the new song debuts below.

Xperiment is out 7/3 via Opium / Interscope. Pre-order it here .
