Playboi Carti

Playboi Carti is the debut commercial mixtape by American rapper Playboi Carti, released on April 14, 2017, through AWGE and Interscope Records. The mixtape was primarily produced by Pi'erre Bourne, with additional contributions from Harry Fraud, Southside, Hit-Boy, and Jake One. Rooted in minimalism, Playboi Carti is a trap and cloud rap mixtape characterized by atmospheric production, repetitive flows, and ad-lib–driven performances. Its sound incorporates hazy melodies and bass-heavy percussion, emphasizing mood and rhythm over lyrical density. The mixtape features guest appearances from ASAP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert, and Leven Kali.

Playboi Carti was supported by the lead singles "Lookin", "Wokeuplikethis", "Let It Go", and "Magnolia", the latter peaking at number 29 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The mixtape received generally favorable reviews from critics, who praised its innovative production and distinctive vocal style. It debuted at number 12 on the US Billboard 200 and was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2020. An accompanying concert tour began in June 2017.
