Before getting into rap, Playboi Carti dreamed of becoming a basketball star as a way to succeed in life.

I used to smoke before practice, play on the court, and score 30 points." Eventually, he quit basketball due to a disagreement with his coach and shifted his focus to making music.

Playboi Carti rose to fame with the release of his self-titled debut mixtape, "Playboi Carti," in 2017. The mixtape was characterized by energetic ad-libs, hooks, and heavy bass-driven beats.
