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."

In Love Hurts by Playboi Carti, the rapper talks about his luxurious lifestyle and his ability to attract women. The opening lines of the song, "Slatt, slatt, slatt, slatt, slatt; Woah, woah, woah, slatt" are a reference to the slang term "Slime Love All The Time," which is commonly associated with rapper Young Thug who has popularized the term. In the first verse, Playboi Carti mentions that he is accompanied by Lil Uzi, and the two rappers walk into a venue with their "toolies" (guns) - this suggests that they have a dangerous reputation. The women in the venue are shown fawning over the rappers, and this theme continues throughout the song. Carti boasts about his wealth and the jewelry he has on, while women flock to him.
The chorus of the song repeats the line, "Shawty want a rockstar," which emphasizes how desirable Carti is to women. The second verse mentions that all the "flows" and "hoes" belong to Carti - this line suggests that he is the best rapper and also has the power to attract any woman he wants. The line "board the jet, all of the hoes is wet" highlights the idea that Carti has a private jet and is living the high life. The rapper's sexual prowess is discussed in the line "put the cash on her spine" which suggests that he is "buying" women with his money.
Overall, the song Love Hurts is an anthem to Playboi Carti's glamorous lifestyle and his impressive success with women.
