Just discovered Ken Carson, what is your opinion about the artist?

Much like a lot of the artists on Opium, I find his music to be incredibly unoriginal. I'd argue that he has slightly improved as an artist since he started getting proper recognition (around 2022) but his music does feel a lot of the time like a cheap parody of songs off of 'Whole Lotta Red' by Playboi Carti. It's all very homogenous and truthfully I really don't see the appeal

He's become a pretty successful rapper - #1 album in the USA, headlining Wembley Arena, but I'd question how much of that success is natural. His success really just comes off of riding Carti's coattails, I'm pretty confident that none of us would've heard of him without Carti imo.
