Behind blazing guest spots from Lil Uzi Vert and mentor A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti finally rolls out his self-titled debut mixtape.
The 15-track project, which features the aforementioned stars as well as Leven Kali, finds the Atlanta MC, born Jordan Carter, displaying his infectious, unpredictable, and playful flow over hard-hitting beats, as evidenced on cuts like “Magnolia.”
Prior to freeing the effort, Carti said he was being selective with its content. “I’m taking time with my [first] mixtape,” he told XXL in January. “I’m going crazy. If you look on my tracks, bro, it shows you my progression.”
At the time, he also explained how he hopes to inspire his growing fanbase. “I just want ni**as to look at it and say, ‘If this young ni**a from Atlanta can do this, so can I,'” he said. “I want everybody to get money. My new mixtape is going to show n**as this is the way.”
