Playboi Carti

Jordan Terrell Carter (born September 13, 1995), professionally known as Playboi Carti, is an American rapper from Atlanta, Georgia. An influential figure among his generation, he has contributed to the progression of trap music and its rage subgenre. He first signed with local underground record label Awful Records in 2014, and later signed with A$AP Mob's record label AWGE, in a joint venture with Interscope Records two years later.
Carti and fellow American rapper Lil Uzi Vert emerged to mainstream around the same time. They had plans to release the joint mixtape, 16*29, where the title refers to their hometown neighborhoods—Atlanta's 2900 and North Philly's 1600, respectively.

In his April 2017 interview with Complex, Carti told them his relationship with Uzi works, because "we don't be on no rap shit, ever. We be in the studio making four, five songs for his album and vice versa. We know our shit. We like our shit. We judge both our shit. We got enough songs to drop two mixtapes. We ain't got nobody else to listen to—me, other than Rocky. Those are my only critics."Scarano, Ross (April 14, 2017).
