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."

The song "In My Car" by Playboi Carti ft. Lil Yachty is a trap banger that talks about their lavish lifestyle and the things they do to maintain it. The track starts with an ominous sound of gunshots which signifies the competitive nature of the rap game. The first verse talks about how they are always on the move and making money. The line "Ten times ten, I just got that on a sheet of paper" refers to the fact that they just made a hundred thousand dollars. The next line "I just put up all-yellow like vanilla wafers" means that they bought a yellow Lamborghini, which is similar in color to vanilla wafers. They then talk about how they can take anyone's girl and how they always have their guns with them. The sound of gunshots in the background adds a layer of intensity to the lyrics.
The chorus "Mh, mmh, mmh, I don't break a sweat over pussy, lit up in this bitch, can't nobody overlook me, my bitch so bad and her pussy talk, whoop me, brother in the trap with them gold bars, Whoopi, everything slaps, soft go like a cookie, and I'm outside, hundred thousand in my Stussys" talks about their confidence in themselves and their lifestyle. They don't worry about anything, especially not women, who they can easily attract. They also mention their friends who are involved in illegal activities like trafficking gold bars, which adds to the dangerous persona they are trying to portray.
The second verse talks about their dislike for people who try to play them or talk behind their backs. They have a lot of money and don't hesitate to spend it. They also mention their legal troubles and how they can always rely on their lawyers to get them out of trouble. They end the song on a positive note, claiming that they are always happy and living their best lives.
Overall, "In My Car" is a high-energy trap song that talks about the luxurious lifestyle of Playboi Carti and Lil Yachty. They are confident, unapologetic, and unafraid to show off their wealth and status.
