Playboi Carti, born Jordan Terrell Carter on September 13, 1996, in Atlanta, Georgia, is an influential American rapper, singer, and songwriter known for his unique blend of punk energy and experimental trap music. He gained prominence with his 2017 mixtape Playboi Carti, featuring hits like “Magnolia” and “wokeuplikethis*.” His debut studio album, Die Lit (2018), continued his success, with tracks such as “Shoota” and “R.I.P.” His 2020 album, Whole Lotta Red, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, showcasing his evolving sound.
In 2023, Carti collaborated with The Weeknd and Madonna on the single “Popular,” part of the soundtrack for HBO’s The Idol. He also appeared on Travis Scott’s album Utopia in July 2023. Later that year, Carti teased his third studio album, I Am Music, with snippets like “Different Day” and “2024,” produced by Kanye West. Despite these teasers, the album’s release has been postponed multiple times, leading to fan frustration and online petitions demanding its release.
In September 2024, Carti and The Weeknd released “Timeless,” a downtempo track blending both artists’ styles. Looking ahead, The Weeknd announced his 2025 After Hours Til Dawn stadium tour, featuring Playboi Carti and Mike Dean.
