Carson released his debut single "32" in 2016, followed by a series of singles that have since been delisted. ^[1] In 2019, he signed to Playboi Carti's record label Opium. The following year, he released two EPs, Boy Barbie and Teen X; the latter which spawned his first hit single "Yale". ^[1] In early 2021, Carson released the Teen X: Relapsed and Lost Files EPs before releasing his debut album, Project X , in July that year. ^{[1] [2]} His second album and major label debut, X , was released though Opium and Interscope Records in 2022. ^[1] The album became his first to chart on both the US Billboard 200 and Top Hip-Hop Albums charts, ^[1] peaking at numbers 115 and 50 respectively, ^{[3] [4]} whilst the non-album single "Freestyle 2" became one of his most popular songs. ^[5]

In October 2023, Carson released his third album A Great Chaos . Considered his breakout album, it debuted at number 11 on the Billboard 200, becoming his first top 20 album in the United States, ^[6] and was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA); ^[7] it also performed well in Canada and Europe. ^[8] The album's deluxe edition, released in July 2024, spawned the single "Overseas", which became Carson's first charting song on the US Billboard Hot 100, at number 79. ^[9] Carson's fourth album More Chaos (2025) was his first to debut atop the Billboard 200 and the Top Hip-Hop Albums charts. ^[10]
