Headshot

"Headshot" (also known as "Heads Off") is an unreleased song by Playboi Carti. The song was created amidst the V2 sessions for Whole Lotta Red (2020) and was intended for the Deluxe to Whole Lotta Red as well as early Donda track lists.
== Background ==
The song was created on February 3rd, 2020 amidst Carti's sessions with producer Richie Souf during the V2 sessions for Whole Lotta Red.https://pillowcase.su/f/fe93992597d4e862b22d1d3222ca4c95 It's unclear if at this point in time it was intended for any track listings or was a throwaway. The song featured an open verse that was intended for Kanye West to record over, although it has been said that he never did.
After the release of Whole Lotta Red, the song was brought into reconsideration by Carti for the deluxe to the album. It was apart of the release-ready track listing, but was scrapped alongside the rest of the deluxe.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rAU0sktd1GKpqo_AAWBtkXy10Px3BB_dnK9yJoN0umw/edit?gid=1038033313#gid=1038033313&range=D18
The song was presumably given to Ye in 2021 for his album Donda. The song appeared in a July 21st track list but was not seen again as Ye had never recorded for the song in the first place. Past this point, the song had not been touched by Carti or Kanye again.
The first version of the song leaked in full on April 14, 2020. Some time during the beginning of the Music sessions in early 2022, notorious leaker waterfalls sent the song to Lancey Foux to record for while using a compromised email from one of Carti's team members, posting a snippet of it on February 15.https://pillowcase.su/f/8aae0feac90194cf3cb3d2859eec6f2e The song is real in the way that Lancey Foux did record for the song, but fake in the way that the song had never been intended to feature Lancey.
