Playboi Carti, born Jordan Terrell Carter on September 13, 1996, in Atlanta, Georgia, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter known for his experimental style and fashion-forward image. He began his music career under the name Sir Cartier before changing it to Playboi Carti, gaining early attention with tracks uploaded to SoundCloud. Carti rose to prominence in 2017 with the release of his self-titled debut mixtape, which featured the breakout hit "Magnolia." His unique delivery, minimalist production, and offbeat flows earned him a dedicated fan base and set him apart in the rapidly evolving trap scene. In 2018, Playboi Carti released his debut studio album *Die Lit*, which debuted at number three on the Billboard 200. The album received praise for its energetic performances and unconventional structure. Following a period of relative silence, Carti released his long-awaited second album *Whole Lotta Red* in December 2020. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and showcased a punk-inspired aesthetic both sonically and visually. Known as much for his influence in fashion as he is for his music, Carti has collaborated with major brands and often pushes the envelope in terms of style and image. His artistic approach, enigmatic persona, and genre-blending sound have cemented him as a prominent figure in modern hip-hop.
