Jordan Terrell Carter (born September 13, 1995 or 1996), known professionally as Playboi Carti, is an American rapper. He is known for his eccentric vocal style and fashion and is considered an influential figure in modern hip-hop and a pioneer of the rage microgenre. His music has been described as atmospheric and avant-garde, often featuring unconventional vocal techniques such as his "baby voice". Critics have noted his emphasis on mood and persona over traditional lyricism. In addition to his recording career, Carter founded the record label and rap collective Opium in 2019, which has signed artists including Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely, Homixide Gang, and ASAP Nast, a member of ASAP Mob.
Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Carter began his music career under the stage name Sir Cartier in 2011, releasing early material on SoundCloud. He signed with Awful Records in 2014 and later with ASAP Rocky's AWGE imprint, a joint venture with Interscope Records, in 2016. He gained mainstream attention with his self-titled debut mixtape, "Playboi Carti" (2017), which peaked at number 12 on the Billboard 200 and included the singles "Magnolia" and "Wokeuplikethis" (featuring Lil Uzi Vert). His debut studio album, "Die Lit" (2018), achieved commercial success, debuting at number three on the Billboard 200.
His second album, "Whole Lotta Red" (2020), became his first number-one album on the Billboard 200 and was later ranked among the greatest hip-hop albums by Rolling Stone. After a series of high-profile collaborations, including Travis Scott's "Fein" (2024) and Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign's "Carnival" (2024), the latter becoming his first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, Carter released his third album, "Music" (2025). The album received generally positive reviews and became his second consecutive number-one album on the Billboard 200. It included the promotional single "Evil J0rdan", which debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.
