Ken Carson Teams Up with Destroy Lonely for New Single “The Acronym”

The Opium label collective continues its dominant run in the rap world as Ken Carson reunites with longtime collaborator Destroy Lonely for the explosive new single “The Acronym”. Produced by the heavy-hitting trio of Akachi, Sonickaboom, and DJ Moon, the track delivers the signature energy that fans have been craving since Carson first teased the release with an acrostic spelling of his label name. This collaboration follows a massive year for the platinum recording artist whose chart-topping album ‘More Chaos’ secured his first number-one spot on the Billboard 200. With standout hits like “Margiela” and “Catastrophe” racking up millions of streams, the duo is successfully cementing their place as the definitive sound of 2025.

The momentum carries straight into the new year as the artist prepares to bring his high-energy stage presence to global audiences on the upcoming “WTF Tour”. Before the headlining trek officially kicks off in March, the rapper will perform for a massive crowd at Lollapalooza India this January. The international schedule features major stops at Rolling Loud Australia in Sydney and Melbourne along with highly anticipated arena shows across Europe and the United Kingdom. From the iconic Zenith in Paris to the OVO Arena Wembley in London, these performances serve as a victory lap for a landmark season that saw Carson earn recognition on the Young Hollywood Impact Report and debut successful collaborations in the fashion world.

Every release from the Opium camp reinforces the chaotic and unpredictable nature that has made Ken Carson a household name for modern hip-hop enthusiasts. The success of ‘A Great Chaos’ and its follow-up has allowed the artist to perform for sold-out crowds at premier venues like the Shrine Expo Hall and Terminal 5. By blending his raw melodic style with a deep sense of collaborative synergy, he is successfully pushing the boundaries of the genre into uncharted territory. Fans can expect the same intensity throughout the 2026 tour dates as the artist travels through Germany, the Netherlands, and beyond to celebrate his most mature and commercially successful chapter yet.

The project highlights Ty’s incredible ability to elevate every track he touches by blending soulful melodic rapping with a seamless collaborative synergy that defies sonic norms.

This release acts as a massive victory lap following the debut of his acclaimed fourth studio project ‘TYCOON’ earlier this autumn. The star-studded album features an extensive list of industry legends like A$AP Rocky and Lil Wayne alongside genre-bending newcomers such as Destroy Lonely and Chloe Bailey. From the smooth grooves of “SMILE BODY PRETTY FACE” to the emotional solo closer “I WISH” the record reflects a journey of perseverance and evolution. As the founder of EZMNY Records and a recently honored Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Power Player, the artist has successfully transitioned from a hitmaking producer into a true music executive and mogul.

The momentum continues to build as the artist celebrates a landmark year that included the premiere of his intimate documentary ‘Still Free TC’ at the Tribeca Film Festival. This deeper look into his personal path and creative spirit arrived just in time to mark the tenth anniversary of his breakthrough debut record. By embracing a state of mind focused on big dreams and self-belief, the visionary creator is pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a modern tycoon in the industry. Whether he is performing solo on the COLORS stage or dominating the club scene with high-energy remixes, his influence remains an undeniable force in the global music landscape.
