A couple of months ago we caught up with Ken Carson before his first show in Poland at Open'er Festival (exactly on June 28). It was freezing with heavy wind coming from the sea, but the Opium label representative was so nice that he spent almost an hour giving a few interviews and calmly answering all the questions.
We talked to Ken about breaking through in Atlanta, the work ethic he learned in Opium, his relationship with Playboi Carti, controlling his own anger, spreading good vibes and working on himself, the inspiration behind the "Project X" album and the best party he's ever been to, his freestyle approach to recordings, and also... about a joint album as a duo with Destroy Lonely. Enjoy!
