As the Thursdays come and go and basketball is no longer acting as a distraction, the anticipation for Playboi Carti's third studio album "Whole Lotta Red" continues to intensify. That intensity only grows stronger as Carti toys with his world by saying things like, "I could be done if I wanted to," in regards to the project.
The anticipation for "Whole Lotta Red" is nearing "Astroworld" proportions, evidenced by a leak—"Kid Cudi"—ranking number one on Spotify's Viral 50 chart. In fact, I have a theory that Carti's entire album rollout is predicated around leaks, similar to how Drake had the entire world on the edge of their seats for "God's Plan" through DJ Akademiks sponsored leaks, but I digress.
This article's purpose isn't to theorize leaks; instead, this article will act as the most comprehensive listing of Playboi Carti leaks ever recorded. However, as I have only been a Carti fan since 2016, I do not have the proper knowledge to fulfill the aforementioned purpose.
Insert Mathias Chinchilla, fan favorite of the renowned SoundSports podcast and Playboi Carti fan since 2013. Mathias will take over from here and guide you down a journey of Carti leaks, from 'Pre-Broke Boi Carti' to 'Whole Lotta Red Carti'. Check out Mathias' elegant commentary, and click on the name of each song to hear them for yourself.
Pre-Broke Boi Carti:
When Carti sounded like Boosie and Wayne. *sighs* Good times. This is one of his first songs--released 2011.
2- $teez
This shit is just amazing. 2012 release.
Literally one of his best verses.
4- Van Go
The title describes the song. This shit is f**king art.
Carti has the second verse. It's like he’s been having the baby voice everybody fascinates over, and now he's just using it in a new modernized way.
Deserves a Nobel Prize.
Collab Carti:
1- Autograph(Carti x Uzi)
Shaq and Kobe.
2- Tote Shit(Carti x G Herbo)
Carti and Herbo on a song is probably the last duo you’d think would work, but this is their second collab, and it’s honestly an 11/10.
3- Tryna Be Me(Carti x Skepta)
For all you Skepta haters, listen to this and then smd.
4- Bankroll(Carti x Uzi)
Pippen and MJ.
5- Faith(Carti x Juice da Savage)
Even me, the ultimate street hard pimp, teared up to this.
Self-Titled Carti:
Just to show that Carti could easily body anybody in freestyling.
2- Let Em In
Don't just let them in, but buzz em in. Cause you're f**king rich.
3- Kelly K OG
Kelly K or as the leak was called "white hoes", inspired many men that year to not only mess with one race but to proceed to have sexual intercourse with the thicker ones of both races. Therefore, Carti ended racism this year. This version has an extra verse which in my opinion was the better verse.
One of the best snippets that I could never find a full good quality version of, and it breaks my heart to this day. It was an uno song but they took it and made it better. Sorry uno <3.
Picture this. It's my junior year, early 2017, I'm in 2nd period doing my daily Soundcloud surfing and I stumble upon this song titled "new york milly rock" by the late great Sir Cartier. A month later, Carti tweets a snippet of "Magnolia" and it became his biggest hit and puts him on the mainstream map. Er’body and they mama knew exactly who Playboi Carti was.
Die Lit Carti:
1- Drip
A Die Lit throwaway, but, in my opinion, it could’ve easily replaced a few songs on "Die Lit".
2- Supersonic
This leak definitely caused a few car crashes and speeding tickets for me.
3- Shake n Bake
Man who doesn’t love a Polo Boy Shawty and Carti song.
This one was good for the heart.
4- Hoe Fo Sho
If you like being a f**k boy but in a cool respectful way, this leak is the one for you.
5- Cancun
If you're familiar with the "my stummy hurt" snippet then you know "Cancun". This is bad b!itch music for men at its peak.
Whole Lotta Red Carti:
Carti literally perfected his own baby voice style, proving he really is the creator of music.
As soon as this officially drops you will see your fair share of Megan the Stallion wannabes in full lime green, neon pink or excessively bright orange biker shorts with sports bra and those fila bricks.
3- Hellcat
One of the lesser known leaks, but also another great showing from baby Carti.
4- Tony Montana
Carti leaks that are only loops might be the best thing since I decided to throw Cheetos on a PB&J.
5- Molly
This song crawled so Pissy Pamper can walk.
That's all for Mathias and this article. Hopefully, you found a few Carti gems to hold you over until "Whole Lotta Red" actually drops.
