Ken Carson Releases New Single, “Overseas”
On the eve of his Coachella debut, Ken Carson has additional reason to celebrate – it’s his birthday. To mark the occasion, the visionary artist shared his electrifying new single, “overseas.” As he spins tales about European tours, Ken also reflects on what he might tell his younger self. The trailblazing rising artist wrote the track with producers Lucian, Lukrative, Nick Spiders and Esko. Out now via OPIUM/Interscope Records, “overseas” is Carson’s first release since last fall’s A Great Chaos, which was hailed as one of the best albums of the year.
Carson, known as X Man to his fans, has teamed up with Xbox to create the custom Ken Carson Xbox Seriex X. In addition, there will be 50 custom Xbox controllers and 5 custom Xbox Series X consoles. Fans who purchase the exclusive Xbox x KEN CARSON t- shirt, available at KenCarson.xyz, will be entered for a chance to win one of the 50 custom Xbox controllers. A custom Xbox Series X console will be given to a top fan across socials.

Since its release on Friday, the 13th of October 2023, A Great Chaos has defied expectations, storming into rap history with its 18-track narrative of Ken’s whirlwind journey. Hailed as “[s]omething genuinely cool, risky, and relentless” by Pitchfork, the album 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, as well as placement on several “Best Of 2023” lists, and earned praise from icons such as Jay Z, Drake, J. Cole, Red Hot Chill Pepper’s Anthony Kiedis, and more. A Great Chaos 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.
