Early life

Diamanté Anthony Blackmon was born on January 3, 1991, in Guatemala City, Guatemala. The "Letting People Go" music video retraces his families journey from Nicaragua, through Guatemala, and across the southern US border as illegal immigrants. He grew up in Frederick, Maryland, United States. He attended Walkersville High School in Walkersville, Maryland. When he was 16 years old, he started playing in small clubs in his hometown of Frederick . While he struggled to gain support from most schoolmates during his time at Walkersville HS, a few recognized his potential and wished him the best. Those students fondly remember his original tagline - "Carnage in Da Building", with them still shouting it out when entering house parties.

Career

Carnage has established himself in the EDM genre by pioneering the trap genre, having massive collaborations with DJs such as Steve Aoki and Borgore and features from Lil Pump, Migos, Mac Miller and many more.

In October 2015, Carnage released his debut album Papi Gordo, which ranked at number 184 on the Billboard 200. It includes 15 songs such as "Touch", "Bricks", and "November Skies".

In April 2018, Carnage released his second album Battered Bruised & Bloody. It includes 13 songs such as "Learn How to Watch", "Plur Genocide" and "Waterworld". The track ‘I Shyne’ with Lil Pump reached number 49 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop while other tracks featured MadeinTYO, Takeoff and Yung Pinch.
