Viper (rapper)
Lee Arthur Carter (born October 7, 1971), known professionally by his stage name Viper, is an American rapper, record producer, actor and convicted criminal. He is regarded as one of the originators of cloud rap.
Viper began releasing music in 2003, originally under the name Lee Dogg. He released the album You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack in 2008; it gained popularity in 2013 and became an Internet meme.
Carter was arrested on January 4, 2024, and initially charged with kidnapping a woman in his garage; these charges were later dropped for sexual assault and fraud charges, which Carter plead guilty to in 2025. He is currently serving a 15-year sentence and will not be eligible for parole until 2031.
Carter was born in El Dorado, Arkansas. He began playing the piano at the age of five. At the age of six, he relocated to the Hiram Clarke neighborhood of Houston, Texas, and started rapping at the age of nine.
In 1997, he was an actor in the film Fifth Ward, directed by his brother, Greg Carter.
Carter's first musical appearance was in 1997 on the soundtrack for Fifth Ward, under the name "J-Ride".
Originally under the artist name Lee Dogg, Carter released his first album, Lee Dogg, on October 7, 2003, which would later be renamed Hustlin' Thick. The album was created in collaboration with various artists signed to local music label Dope House Records. He later retroactively changed both the name of his album to Hustlin' Thick and his artist name to Viper.[citation needed]
Carter continued to release mixtapes regularly throughout the early 2000s under his Rhyme Tyme Records label through the CD Baby website, becoming one of the first cloud rap artists. Throughout this period, he showed frustration at his obscurity and limited exposure, as detailed on one of his early songs, "9900 Haters On The Wall", where he claimed out of ten thousand people who heard his albums on the site, only a hundred had bought them.
