Description: WHOLE LOTTA RED is finally about to drop! ...maybe. COP A MASK & support my channel: store.nebula.app/collections... Whole Lotta Red is the upcoming second studio album by American rapper Playboi Carti. It is set to be released on December 25, 2020 by Interscope as well as ASAP Rocky's label AWGE. The album was supported by the lead single "@ Meh", which peaked at number 35 on the US Billboard Hot 100. In August 2018, following the release of Carti's debut studio album, Die Lit, a video surfaced of him discussing his next album and calling it Whole Lotta Red. In November, he performed unreleased songs at a concert in Seattle. In May of 2019, he featured on "Earfquake", the lead single of Igor by Tyler, the Creator with fans noting his nearly unintelligible "baby voice". Later that month, a song titled "Pissy Pamper" with Young Nudy leaked and went viral on social media platform TikTok. "Pissy Pamper" also reached No. 1 on Spotify's US Viral 50 before being removed. Several other songs would go on to leak via YouTube and SoundCloud as well, reportedly causing Carti to remake the album. On April 14, 2020, Carti tweeted the cover to "@ Meh", which was released as a single two days later. The song was noted for its usage of the previously aformentioned "baby voice". In May, Carti was featured on the track "Pain 1993", from Drake's mixtape, Dark Lane Demo Tapes, which continued his use of the "baby voice" and became his first top ten hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number seven on the chart. On November 23, following a social media hiatus, Carti posted on his socials, blurry photos of himself with the caption "Album.TuRneD iN [sic]". In the following days, Carti announced collaborations with several other rappers including Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Travis Scott, and Future. He also tweeted at Post Malone and Pharrell Williams. On December 21, Carti announced the cover art, release date, and pre-orders for merchandise. The merchandise draws from heavy metal imagery, which some considered to reference S*t*nism. #volksgeist #playboicarti #wholelottared #newmusic
