Playboi Carti Whole Lotta Red (2LPs)

4 stars out of 5 -- "The album opener 'Rockstar Made' roars into gear with blown-out 808s and writhing, barbed synths that promise violence; as Carti gets into his routine of varied repetition and aggressively clipped syllables, the beat pushes his voice into uncharted territory."
Included in Rolling Stone's "The 50 Best Albums of 2021" -- "Carti stakes ground in the current generation's sonic sensibility, for one of the most forward-thinking rap records since Kanye West's YEEZUS."
3 stars out of 5 -- "'Rockstar Made' welcomes the listener with gargling basslines and wailing guitar synths that are mosh-pit friendly and adrenaline-inducing..."
Paste (magazine) - "Carti was made for the internet, with infectious hooks that will live forever in memes, TikToks and Instagram captions."
Pitchfork (Website) - "The Atlanta rapper's third record is both wildly innovative and strikingly consistent. It's hard, melodic, experimental, and unlike anything else happening in mainstream rap."
