1. Carter is the moniker of Bristol based electronic musician and home recording artist Neil Carter. Utilizing synthesizers, guitar, tape loops and field recordings, Carter looks to create pieces of hazy dream ambient, awash with electronic warmth, digital noise, tape hiss and sculpted feedback drones, with loops that slowly, patiently evolve and degrade.
2. Carter is a drum and bass producer and DJ from Vienna, Austria.
3. Curtis William Carter III was born in Houston, Texas and more recently resides in Los Angeles, California. His interest in music sparked as a young man growing up in Houston. "In Houston, rap is a culture…it was a custom to freestyle over other rappers' beats …You could go anywhere and say "bust a flow" and people would huddle up and just freestyle. It was recreational, boys girls--everybody would get into it. That planted the seeds.." He grew up listening to Outkast, UGK, Jay-Z, 3-6 Mafia, Nelly, 2pac. Watching Houston rappers like Chamillionaire and Slim Thug before they were famous, he saw them grow from start to now. It helped him understand different aspects of lyrics and poetry in a way he could understand which made for good reference with his own raps. He is a man who wears many hats and surrounds himself with like-minded, ambitious individuals who have already made a name for themselves. He is involved in all aspects of his music, as he understands what it takes to establish his musical ethos. . "My vision is to promote substance and authenticity through my music to be the voice for the people who relate and believe in me and what I do." "The power is in the people, and if you don't believe in anything else you can believe in me"

He ws infamous for fifteen minutes
And he appeared on Panorama
Then he somehow got on board a Starship Enterprise Allowance Scheme
With a Prince of Wales Award
For pushing valium and amphetamines
Moving Up on Second Base
At six foot six
And 100 Tons
The undisputed King of the Slums
With more alias' than Klaus Barbie
Master Butcher of Leigh on Sea
Just about to take the stage
The one and only - hold the front page
Fatman's got something to sell
To the Capital's homeless
A Crossroad's Motel
For the No Fixed Abodeless
Where you can live life in style
If you sleep in a closet
And if you flash him a smile
He'll take your teeth as deposit
There's bats in the belfrey
The windows are jammed
The toilet's ain't healthy
He don't give a damn
Just chuckles and smiles
Laughs like a madman
A born again Rachman
Here comes Sherrif Fatman
With his valium, amphetamines
Sicknotes and his phoney prescriptions
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the kitchen
Dead heads and cracked heads
Bunk beds and breakfasts
Wake up you sleepyheads
Check this
Moving up on second base
With Nicholas Van Whatshis face
At six foot six
And 100 tons
The undisputed King of the Slums
With more alias' than Klaus Barbie
The Master Butcher of Leigh on Sea
Just about to take the stage

The song "Sheriff Fatman" by Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine seems to be a commentary on the corrupt and exploitative nature of those in power, particularly in relation to drugs and homelessness. The titular character, Sherrif Fatman, is described as starting out as a "granny farmer," which could potentially allude to an illegal activity, such as growing cannabis. He becomes famous for a short period of time and is even featured on the news program Panorama. However, rather than facing consequences for his actions, he is able to take advantage of a government scheme and even receives an award from Prince Charles for his involvement in the drug trade. The lyrics suggest that those in power are willing to turn a blind eye to criminal activity as long as there is profit to be made.
The second verse describes the living conditions of the homeless in London, where Fatman is operating. He offers them a motel of sorts, but the conditions are far from ideal, with bats in the belfry and unhealthy toilets. Fatman is indifferent to the well-being of his customers and only cares about taking their belongings as payment. He is described as laughing "like a madman" and being a "born again Rachman," possibly referencing the notorious landlord Peter Rachman, who exploited and evicted tenants in the 1950s and 60s.
