Mini bio
Atlanta beginnings.
Jordan Terrell Carter came up around Atlanta’s Awful Records scene and performed at parties hosted by rapper Key. Early classmates discovered his songs on SoundCloud and encouraged him to keep going. His 2015 single “Broke Boi” helped introduce his loose, melodic approach.
The breakout.
A$AP Rocky became a mentor, and Carti’s self-titled 2017 mixtape brought “Magnolia” and “wokeuplikethis*” to a wider audience. Die Lit followed in 2018, pairing his elastic delivery with Pi’erre Bourne’s minimal, bass-heavy production and guests including Lil Uzi Vert, Skepta and Nicki Minaj.
A changing voice.
Whole Lotta Red arrived on Christmas Day 2020 and became his first Billboard 200 No. 1. Its harsher vocals and production pushed his music toward punk energy. In his 2021 conversation with Kid Cudi, Carti described freestyling in the moment and following the mood he brought into the studio.
The Opium era.
Carti leads the Opium collective, whose artists include Ken Carson and Destroy Lonely. In 2025, MUSIC became his second No. 1 album, followed by an expanded edition and the announcement of the Antagonist tour. His 2026 work includes a Fatt Smaxk collaboration, an appearance on Ken Carson’s xperiment and an artistic director role at ComplexCon.
