Playboi Carti was the self-titled 2017 debut by the American rapper Playboi Carti. The record established his name with a minimalist, hypnotic take on hip-hop, where mood and rhythm mattered more than traditional verses. Production from the likes of Pi'erre Bourne gave the songs an airy, dreamy sound. Singles such as 'Magnolia' and 'wokeuplikethis*', with Lil Uzi Vert, became influential in the emerging mumble-rap style. The album grew into an important starting point in Carti's career.
