The rapper’s fifth studio LP arrives on July 3

June 21, 2026

Ken Carson has a new album dropping next month. Xperiment, which follows last year’s More Chaos and 2024’s A Great Chaos, will arrive on July 3 via Opium/Interscope Records. Although Carson has yet to release any new music or a track list from his forthcoming fifth studio LP, he has shared the cover art, which you can have a look at below.

Carson has been previewing music from Xperiment over the past few months, performing a few unreleased songs from the album—including one reportedly produced by 2hollis—during a headlining set at Rolling Loud Orlando in May. He’ll continue his festival schedule this fall with a show at ComplexCon in October. His most recent solo tour, a brief run through Europe and the UK, concluded on March 23.
