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."

“Mileage” by Playboi Carti featuring Chief Keef presents a strikingly controversial perspective towards women as objects for male pleasure. Throughout the song, both rappers interchangeably refer to women as cars by measuring their body count and sexual experiences as “mileage.” The use of Miley Cyrus as a symbol for women with “mileage” is intended to showcase the hypocrisy of pop culture, where the same woman who used to be a role model for young girls, is now objectified by men. The lyricism bluntly pushes the limits of complacency, and by naming a celebrity, it gives a more explicit reference to the obsessive culture of entertainment and the human tendency to consume when it comes to sexuality.
The lyrics further degrade women by reducing them to mere objects of male desire, where they are described as a tool, an animal, and sexual satisfaction. The song’s chorus repeatedly emphasizes how the sexual experiences of women are translated into their “Mileage”. The choice of words such as “catchin’ bodies” portrays women in a dehumanizing light and reinforces toxic masculinity. The lyrics reflect gender inequalities and suggest that women are not valued for their personalities, but their physical attributes that revolve around satisfying male desire.

The singers are making a derogatory statement about women's bodies by saying that the fictional character Miley Cyrus, who is catching bodies or killing people, has had a lot of sexual partners and therefore her vagina has high mileage. They continue to repeat this statement, saying that they don't care if the character in the song or the listener has had a lot of sexual partners.

This section of the song has a few different themes, including: the artists being in Malibu and being casual, them having weapons and hanging out with dangerous people, a reference to the fake character Betty Boop, them being in luxury store Saks Fifth Avenue, and someone having a lot of sexual partners (getting 'more mileage than a car'). The artists also mention buying 'flashbangs,' a type of grenade used to disorient enemies.
