More Chaos
Updated: 12/20/2025, 11:55:32 AM Wikipedia source
More Chaos is the fourth studio album by American rapper Ken Carson. It was released on April 11, 2025, through Opium and Interscope Records. Carson recorded most of the album in 2024, whilst touring in support of his third album, A Great Chaos (2023), and completed it following additional recording sessions in Los Angeles, California in January 2025. The album was produced by F1lthy, Lil 88, Star Boy, and Outtatown, among others. The album's standard edition does not include any guest appearances, but the streaming bonus track, "Off the Meter", features Opium labelmates Playboi Carti and Destroy Lonely. More Chaos is a rage and trap album that expands upon the style and production of A Great Chaos. Reviews were generally favorable, with music critics praising its energy but expressing ambivalence towards its monotonous nature and perceived lack of change. It earned 59,500 album-equivalent units in its first week to debut at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, becoming Carson's first US number-one album. Carson was scheduled to embark on a headlining tour of North America in support of the album, the Lord of Chaos Tour, but cancelled it in favor of supporting Carti on his Antagonist Tour from October to December 2025.
