In a world where science and hip-hop rarely intersect, Carter-senpai is carving out a unique niche. The NYC-based artist, who also happens to be a professional scientist, is dropping knowledge and sick beats in equal measure.
Carter-senpai’s journey into music began unexpectedly. Despite a childhood love for rap and even performing a few early verses, music took a backseat to his scientific pursuits. It wasn’t until the COVID-19 lockdown that he dusted off his skills, pouring his emotions into a 64-bar verse. This sparked a creative floodgate, with an album’s worth of material pouring out in the months that followed.
The result was “Midnight On Broadway & Myrtle” (MOBAM), a debut album that defied expectations. With no promotion or warning, the album resonated with thousands of listeners. Fans connected with his raw, honest lyrics and the way he wove complex scientific concepts into his rhymes.
But success wasn’t enough to keep Carter-senpai in the public eye. He retreated from the world, focusing on his craft in solitude. The result was two more albums, created with no intention of release. It was an exercise in creativity for its own sake, with the artist driven by a passion for his art rather than a desire for fame.
Now, Carter-senpai is emerging from his hiatus with a wealth of new material. His latest single, “FREE DLC,” has already gained traction with listeners across Africa and Asia. Fans appreciate the way his lyrics reflect his scholarly background, offering a unique perspective on the struggle for a better life.
With a catalog of unreleased music at his disposal, Carter-senpai is poised for a major comeback. He’s adopting a consistent release strategy, with new music dropping soon. Fans can expect the same blend of lyrical complexity, personal honesty, and scientific wordplay that have become his hallmark.
Carter-senpai’s ultimate goal is to connect with his global audience in person. He dreams of taking the stage in Lagos and other international destinations, bringing his unique brand of science-infused hip-hop to fans who appreciate his message.
As he navigates the music industry, Carter-senpai remains true to his art and his identity. He’s a scholar, a stoner, a hoops enthusiast, a hippie, a gamer, a loner, an artist, an addict, and an aimless roamer – and his music reflects this multifaceted personality. With his talent, dedication, and singular vision, there’s no telling how high he’ll rise.
Keep up with Carter-senpai’s journey and get ready for new music by following him on Instagram, Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. His latest single “Bill Us” drops on Friday, September 27.
