Playboi Carti, hip-hop's Picasso of peculiarity, has been painting the rap game in shades of wild since his 2017 mixtape debut. Hailing from Atlanta, this maestro of mumble turned heads (and twisted tongues) with "Magnolia," making us all bounce while trying to imitate that one-of-a-kind baby voice—like a gangster Elmo on the mic. With "Die Lit" in 2018, he didn't just enter the cult of cool—he became its whimsical overlord. Then, "Whole Lotta Red" dropped in 2020, sprinkled with punk pixie dust, splitting critics down the middle like a banana. And fashion? Carti's the Kanye West of wardrobe whimsy, strutting into the scene dressed to impress, or to confuse... sometimes both.
