Jace “Thunder” Carter is a Southern rapper, performer, and cultural force who rose from the underground streets of Atlanta to become one of the most compelling new voices in American music. Known for his tattooed persona, raw lyricism, and unfiltered intensity, Thunder blends gritty southern rap with elements of punk, trap, and introspective storytelling. Born and raised in Georgia, Thunder began his music journey in local open mics and beat cyphers before his breakout mixtapes earned attention online. His rise accelerated with the release of “Cracked Fangs,” a blistering diss track that marked his lyrical dominance and solidified his presence in hip-hop’s competitive arena. But it was his collaboration with pop-rap artist Savannah Rose on the emotionally charged single “Second Skin” that expanded his reach beyond the underground. The song, praised for its vulnerability and layered songwriting, became a viral hit and earned the duo a performance spot at the 3rd Harmonix Awards in July 2025. Following the success of “Second Skin,” Thunder launched his “Rolling Thunder Southeast Tour,” selling out shows across more than 20 cities and reconnecting with the regional audiences that helped define his sound. The tour showcased his evolution—still raw and fierce, but increasingly refined and emotionally resonant. Throughout 2025, Thunder has focused on pushing boundaries with his debut full-length album, blending hard-hitting tracks like “Code Red” and “Outsider” with more reflective cuts such as “Run with Wolves” and “Second Skin.” His music often explores themes of identity, survival, betrayal, and the struggle to remain real in an industry built on image. Thunder’s style is aggressive yet honest, combining lyrical sharpness with southern swagger and an increasingly cinematic production style. Despite his confrontational stage presence and past feuds, Thunder has become known among collaborators for his loyalty and work ethic. He remains close to his roots, often crediting the Atlanta scene for shaping his artistry and worldview. With his unique voice, genre-bending approach, and deepening artistic range, Jace “Thunder” Carter continues to prove he’s more than just flash—he’s a storm that’s here to stay.
