Playboi Carti | Before They Were Famous | Whole Lotta Red Drama

Before Playboi Carti was issued a pretty aggressive ultimatum by Mario Judah to drop his long-awaited follow-up album to his 2018’s Die Lit, Whole Lotta Red, or else he’ll drop it for him. Before Playboi Carti as gifted a $120,000 TANK by Kanye West which lead fans to believe that he has a hand in Playboi’s latest album…AND THEN it was revealed that Kanye not only collaborated on a song produced by Wheezy but also executive produced the entire album. Before Playboi Carti would walk on runways for Kanye’s Yeezy line, in ads for Nike or became the voice behind the latest Givenchy campaign. Playboi Carti was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. He started making music in his early teens on Garage Band and uploading it to SoundCloud. He never talked about his music to his friends at school but eventually, they discovered it themselves and he said their validation “put a battery in his back”. Soon enough, he caught the attention of Awful Records who would later sign him. Carti may have seemed like an overnight success when he broke through with his 2017 self-titled mixtape that peaked at number 12 on the Billboard 200 with hits like Magnolia and Woke Up Like This but when his debut studio album, Die Lit, debuted in 2018 peaking a number 3 on the same chart…Carti knew his mysterious ways was about to truly change the game.
