NEW DOUBLE LP
New sealed copy.
Playboi Carti's second studio album, Whole Lotta Red, was released on December 25, 2020, through Interscope Records and AWGE Label. The album represents a significant departure from Carti's previous work, embracing a more aggressive and experimental sound built around punk-influenced production and Carti's high-pitched, abrasive vocal delivery. Kanye West served as executive producer, with additional production from Pi'erre Bourne, Maaly Raw, and others.
The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 100,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. It features guest appearances from Kanye West, Kid Cudi, and Future, though Carti's distinctive vocal style remains the focal point throughout the 24-track project. Singles like "Go2DaMoon" featuring Kanye West and "Sky" gained substantial streaming numbers, with "Sky" experiencing a resurgence on TikTok months after the album's release.
Initial critical reception was polarized, with some reviewers praising the album's boldness and experimental approach while others found it chaotic and unpolished. Over time, however, Whole Lotta Red has been increasingly recognized for its influence on contemporary rap's more avant-garde wing, particularly its embrace of rage and punk aesthetics. The album has developed a devoted fanbase and is frequently cited as a turning point in the evolution of experimental hip-hop.
