Jordan Terrell Carter (born September 13, 1995), popularly known as Playboi… Read Full Bio ↴Jordan Terrell Carter (born September 13, 1995), popularly known as Playboi Carti, is an American rapper from Atlanta, Georgia. His eponymous debut mixtape was released on April 14, 2017. He originally went by the moniker Sir Cartier (stylized as $ir Cartier) when he embarked on his music career in 2011.

He originally started rapping as Sir Cartier, releasing a mixtape titled THC: THE HIGH CHRONICAL$ on November 5, 2011, that has since been deleted from the Internet, because it was absolute balls. He followed up with the mixtape Young Mi$fit on November 12, 2012. He changed his artist name to Playboi Carti in May 2013. As Playboi Carti, he came into prominence in 2015 with his song Broke Boi. Initially a part of the Atlanta-based Awful Records label, he also performed at the fashion events such as Yeezy Season 5, VFiles, and Raf Simons events, with artists such as Lil Uzi Vert and A$AP Rocky. In 2016, he was featured on A$AP Mob's debut studio album, Cozy Tapes: Vol. 1 Friends -, on the tracks London Town and Telephone Calls, which the latter was released as the second single from the album.

Carti's eponymous debut mixtape, Playboi Carti, which features guest appearances from Lil Uzi Vert, A$AP Rocky, and Leven Kali, was released on April 14, 2017. The self-titled release gained attention from various music publications, including XXL, Pitchfork, Spin, HotNewHipHop, and PopMatters. XXL noted the track Magnolia as a standout cut, whereas Pitchfork critic Briana Younger thought that the release "finds a cloudy and economical mood and stays there, but it's Carti's magnetic confidence that turns just enough into plenty." The mixtape sold 28,051 units in its opening week.

In accompaniment with the mixtape's release, Carti embarked on a tour, which featured him as an opening act for Gucci Mane and Dreezy.

At the end of 2017, Carti was featured on A$AP Mob's Cozy Tapes Vol. 2: Too Cozy, A$AP Ferg's Still Striving, and NAV's Perfect Timing. Carti was meanwhile working on his debut album, Die Lit, which would be released on May 11, 2018.

Die Lit was an album that received mixed reviews, but fans of Carti enjoyed the album. Metacritic rated the album 71/100 with a user score of 8.2/10. Die Lit includes notable tracks such as Shoota, Foreign, Choppa Won't Miss, Mileage, and Poke it Out. This album included features from artists such as Lil Uzi Vert, Nicki Minaj, Chief Keef, Young Thug, Travis Scott, Skepta, and Bryson Tiller.

Since the release of Die Lit, Playboi Carti has embarked on his own tour, while featuring on songs such as Uh Uh (feat. Playboi Carti) on Chief Keef's Mansion Musick and Get Dripped on Lil Yachty's Nuthin' 2 Prove.

However, soon after the release of Die Lit and his tour, Carti was seen discussing a new album, titled Whole Lotta Red . Over the course of the next few years, songs from Whole Lotta Red would get leaked, or played by Carti himself at select shows. On November 23, 2020, Carti announced that the album had been submitted to his label, along with posting several blurry photos. He would later announce several collaborations, with artists such as Kanye West and Future. DJ Akademiks would later announce that the album would release on Christmas day, and was executively produced by Kanye West.

Whole Lotta Red's fan reception was polarizing at the start, but the album was met with positive critical reception. Metacritic rated the album 75/100 with a user score of 7.4/10. The album would later increase in popularity among Carti fans and music enjoyers alike over time — highly due to several tracks going viral on TikTok — and began receiving high praise.

Playboi Carti has announced that his next project, Music, is dropping "ASAP."

I do not engage with a particular woman anymore because she is promiscuous, and it is not desirable to engage with women who do not have money, as they are often easily controlled and taken advantage of by men.

I arrived at our location ostentatiously dressed in designer clothing, and accompanied by my friends and marijuana. I also have a weapon with me for protection. I have a woman with me who is interested in having sexual relations with me. I am acting out aggressively and I am surrounded by a group of people who are also high. I am with Pi'erre, and we are the greatest of all time.

I am reiterating that I do not engage with women who do not have money or who are promiscuous, as they are likely to be taken advantage of. Additionally, some vulgar comments are made about the women I have engaged with as they are purported to have been casually sexual with others.

What? What? Oh no (Oh no) And she switched on me, cut the lights on (Cut the lights on) man, these hoes cold That's why I got this ice on (Got this ice on) She just wanna fuck when she had my (Had my) When we pay rent she got insufficient funds (Insufficient funds) Ho, yeah, them bitches down one (Bitches down one) When I fucked my ho, said, "Lil' shawty When you done?" (Shawty, when you done?) I need all my money, yeah I need all my funds (I need all my funds)
I have experienced betrayal from a woman who had previously shown interest in me, which is why I look intimidating and wear expensive jewelry. I also suggest that this behavior is typical of women who do not have money. A woman who owes me money has not paid me, and I have had a negative experience with the woman I am currently with regarding financial matters.

I don't even fuck her no more (Hey) Man, these hoes get laid, yeah (yeah) Bitch, I can't fuck with no broke ho (Hey) Man, these hoes get played, yeah (yeah) Bitch, I can't fuck with no broke ho (Hey) Man, these hoes get played, yeah (yeah) I don't even fuck her no more (Hey) Man, that ho get laid (yeah) I don't even fuck her no more (Hey) Man, that bitch got laid, yeah (yeah) Bitch, I can't fuck with no broke ho (Hey) Man, these hoes get played, yeah (yeah) Bitch, I can't fuck with no broke ho (Hey) Man, these hoes get played, yeah (yeah)
I am repeating the same message from earlier in the song about not engaging with women who do not have money or who are promiscuous. I also reference my previous relationships where the women were sexually active with others.

Yeah, I'm with Pi'erre, ooh
I am still with Pi'erre.
