Cartunez is the upcoming sixth extended play by American rapper Ken Carson. It was scheduled to be released on July 31, 2026, four weeks after his fifth studio album Xperiment.[1][2]
Background
[edit source]Cartunez was announced on June 29, 2026, following an online preview of a snippet from the EP.[3] It was intended to release the week after Carson's fifth studio album Xperiment making them back-to-back projects, but ended up not being released on July 10.[1]
The official cover was revealed on the morning of July 10 after Carson failed to release Cartunez, and on July 14, a new snippet was released, presumably from the EP.
On July 21, Carson announced the new release date for Cartunez as July 31. However, Carson failed to release the EP as scheduled.[4]
In an interview with Dimas Sanfiorenzo of Complex, Carson explained the meaning behind the project, stating “I feel like on Xperiment, I was shying away from my natural sound. On Cartunez, I'm not really doing that at all.[5]
