Review

"Playboi Carti," the debut commercial mixtape from the Atlanta-based rapper, was released in April 2017, establishing a solid foundation for his career. With primary production handled by Pi'erre Bourne, the mixtape is a vivid showcase of Carti's unique style, one that captures a youthful vibe devoid of overt political or social commentary. It features contributions from well-known artists like Lil Uzi Vert, ASAP Rocky, and Leven Kali, enhancing the mixtape's eclectic and dynamic sound.

Tracks such as "Magnolia," which impressively peaked at number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100, along with "Lookin" and "Wokeuplikethis," both featuring Lil Uzi Vert, stand out and have significantly contributed to the mixtape's success. "Playboi Carti" debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200 and achieved platinum status by March 2020, highlighting its wide-reaching acclaim and the rapper’s significant impact on the hip-hop scene. This mixtape not only marks an important moment in Carti's career but also signifies a shift in the landscape of hip-hop, paving the way for new developments in the genre. - Stephanie
