Lee Arthur Carter (born October 7, 1971), also known as Viper, is a Houston rapper and producer, known for his lo-fi, hazy production and boastful, villainous, but oddball-ish persona. He has been producing music since childhood.

Initially known as Lee Dogg, Viper released his debut Hustlin' Thick in 2003/4, collaborating with many local Houston hip-hop artists from the Dope House Records label, including Rasheed.

Releasing several lo-fi albums in the Houston underground throughout the 2000s, in 2013 Viper received widespread attention for his 2008 album You’ll Cowards Don’t Even Smoke Crack, the title track and cover art of which became an internet meme.

In an extremely strange nature, Viper began releasing bizarre duplicates of his albums throughout the early 10s enmasse, with different album covers and chopped and screwed mixes. These albums number over 1000, with 347 being released in 2014 alone. These albums have also become internet memes in themselves, having unusual titles like Fuck Tha World It Ain’t Real I Bend Tha Spoon Wit My Mind II. Viper’s actual discography consists of around 20 albums.

This odd and prolific nature has gained him a cult following, with comparisons drawn to fellow artists Lil B and Wesley Willis.
