    While imo this is a step down from Die Lit, WLR is Carti's most influential album. Which is why I recommend it, I don't picture you liking it as much, but It is responsible for the current generation of underground rap and he basically shaped the "RAGE" genre into what it is today. Its a bit messy, but has some iconic and amazing tracks. Now a bit of a tangent, the WLR we have today is technically the third version. The first version of the album was scrapped, it was basically Die Lit 2 and was heavenly. If you are interested I'll show you it. If Carti had released that first version, he would be even bigger than he already is.

    Whole Lotta Red is an experimental hip-hop, rage, and trap album that incorporates punk and electronic influences. Its lyrical themes include guns, wealth, and hedonism. Music critics highlighted its loose structure and frenetic pace; several songs abandon traditional verse-chorus structures in favor of chants or ad-libbing with an emphasis on atmosphere over narrative. The album features a dark, vampire-themed tone in which Carti adopts the persona of a vampire rock star.

    This album defined rage music for me. I am not a Carti fan but i have to admit this album has such a good tracklist. A bit bloated but the songs i like are really good with hard ass beats.

    Playboi Carti really changed the game with this one. Filled with spastic, frenetic beats the whole way through. Feels like if mania could be healthy. Dude's a genius. "Control" is my favorite.
