Ken Carson Releases Eerie Visual For “Fighting My Demons” Directed By Cole Bennett
SET TO HEAD ON THE ANTAGNOIST TOUR
WITH PLAYBOI CARTI NEXT MONTH
Trailblazing artist Ken Carson releases the video for his standout track “Fighting My Demons” off his recently released critically acclaimed album, A Great Chaos. Since its release the track has amassed over 12 million streams on Spotify and is currently charting No. 2 on Billboard Bubbling Under 100 Chart. Directed by Cole Bennett, the visual sends viewers on a surreal and stylistic adventure. Drawing inspiration from the evocative style of 1990s Japanese cinema, the video features a realm of dark and lo-fi aesthetics. As it progresses, the video’s climax culminates in a profound, existential moment as Ken is confronted with a haunting black void.
Released on Friday, October 13th, A Great Chaos, shattered expectations and carved itself a place in music history. The 18-track release captures the whirlwind that his existence has become and the joy he takes in navigating that whirlwind with preternatural ease. Debuting at an impressive No. 11 on the Billboard 200, the album made a resounding impact on listeners across the globe including critical acclaim from a myriad of outlets including Billboard, Pitchfork, Complex and more. This album is more than just a collection of songs; it’s a testament to Ken Carson’s unparalleled talent and the connection he shares with his audience.
Last year the electrifying artist released his label debut album, X, which was equal parts enigmatic and prolific as he carved out his own space in the industry. On the project he showcased more versatility than ever before while honing the signature sound that propelled him to prominence. The project received notice from Complex, Pitchfork, HipHopDX, and other taste making outlets, and debuted on the Billboard 200. Listen HERE.
2023 has been a whirlwind for Ken Carson. He continued to build his fan base by performing at major festivals including Bonnaroo, Wireless, Rolling Loud, Lollapalooza,and more. He was also featured on Amazon’s AMP “The Come Up: The Next Generation Of Hip-Hop Coming Out Of ATL” where he was highlighted on the cover of VIBE Magazine, and most recently his breakout hit “Yale” off his 2020 EP Teen X, was certified Gold by the RIAA. This marks the first such honor for an Opium signee and confirms what fans have long known: “Yale” is an unforgettable song, a pure distillation of what makes Carson such an inimitable artist. Watch the video, which has collected more than 6.2 million views, HERE.
Next month Ken is set to head on tour with his Opium label-mates on Playboi Carti’s “ANTAGONIST Tour.” The international leg kicks off in Dublin on November 19th before the US run kicking off in January 2024.
