Q 01What is Playboi Carti's real name?
Jordan Terrell Carter
Jordan Terrell Carter. His name is settled but his age is not: he was born in Atlanta on September 13, and profiles written two years apart imply both 1995 and 1996 as the year.
Q 02Under what stage name did Carti release his first songs and videos while still in high school?
Sir Cartier
Sir Cartier. In his first video, shot when he was 14, he roams South Atlanta strip malls and parking lots with his friends, years before the Playboi Carti name took over.
Q 03Carti grew up in which Atlanta suburb?
Riverdale
Riverdale. He grew up there, south of the city, and left at 18 to chase a music career elsewhere, yet he says that being back home in Atlanta is what pushes him to make his best music.
Q 04Which Atlanta underground collective, home to the producer Ethereal, gave Carti his start as a rapper?
Awful Records
Awful Records. The rapper Father's DIY label took him in as the crew's little brother, and he credits Ethereal with helping him find his sound: 'This is the guy,' he said of meeting him.
Q 05In 2016 Carti signed to AWGE, an imprint run by which rapper?
ASAP Rocky
ASAP Rocky. The two were introduced at South by Southwest in 2015 by the ASAP Mob co-founder ASAP Bari, and a little over a year later Carti had his deal.
Q 06Which two 2015 SoundCloud singles first brought Carti wide attention?
'Broke Boi' and 'Fetti'
'Broke Boi' and 'Fetti'. Both racked up millions of SoundCloud plays, 'Fetti' with guests Da$h and Maxo Kream, and the buzz carried him out of Atlanta's underground to a major-label deal the next year.
Q 07Carti shared XXL's 2017 Freshman cover with which rapper?
XXXTentacion
XXXTentacion. He took the class's tenth spot by winning a fan vote, joining Carti and eight other newcomers on the cover that June, two months after Carti's debut mixtape came out.
Q 08The title of 'Magnolia' refers to a housing project in which city?
New Orleans
New Orleans. The Magnolia Projects were home to Juvenile and Soulja Slim, the beat borrows the city's bounce sound, and its own Lil Wayne soon recorded a freestyle over it.
Q 09Which rapper features on Carti's 2017 single 'Wokeuplikethis'?
Lil Uzi Vert
Lil Uzi Vert trades verses with Carti on 'Wokeuplikethis*', a Pi'erre Bourne production from the 2017 mixtape; the pair long teased a joint project called 16*29 that never arrived.
Q 10Pi'erre Bourne's producer tag, 'Yo Pierre, you wanna come out here?', is sampled from which 1990s sitcom?
The Jamie Foxx Show
The Jamie Foxx Show: the line is Jamie Foxx's character calling out to a Pierre, and Bourne cut it into his producer tag, which opens 'Magnolia'.
Q 11Fans long mistook a bearded man on the cover of Carti's Die Lit for which rock frontman?
Dave Grohl
Dave Grohl. The Foo Fighters singer was never there: years later a YouTube channel tracked the man down as Francisco Marcano, an actor who had no idea his face would end up on the album.
Q 12On the black-and-white cover of Die Lit, Carti is photographed doing what?
Diving off the stage
Diving off the stage. Photographer Nick Walker staged the shot after a photo of an old punk show, casting a real mosh pit around Carti as he flipped upside down above it.
Q 13Which unreleased Carti track with Young Nudy leaked in 2019 and topped Spotify's US Viral 50?
Pissy Pamper
Q 21Carti was executive producer of the 2022 album X by which of his label's signees?
Ken Carson
Ken Carson. He came up as a teenager around the producers TM88 and Southside, and says joining Carti's label was never a formal pitch: 'We were just friends.'
Q 22Which 2020 Drake song featuring Carti gave him his first Billboard Hot 100 top ten?
Pain 1993
Pain 1993. The song is a tribute to Ian Connor, the stylist who took a young Carti under his wing, and its No. 7 debut was the rapper's first trip into the top ten.
Q 23Which 2024 Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign track featuring Carti became his first Hot 100 No. 1?
Carnival
Carnival. Built around a chanting stadium crowd, it had little radio or playlist support and still climbed for a month after Vultures 1 came out before reaching the top in March 2024.
Pissy Pamper. It was reportedly held back because its sample of a 1980 Japanese pop song was never cleared, so a fan's upload of Carti's verse alone is what climbed the chart.
Q 14Whole Lotta Red was released on which day in 2020?
Christmas Day
Christmas Day 2020: Carti announced the 25 December date only days beforehand, more than two years after he first promised Whole Lotta Red.
Q 15Which fashion designer served as executive producer on Whole Lotta Red alongside Kanye West?
Matthew Williams
Matthew Williams. Then Givenchy's creative director, he had known Carti since the rapper's teens and became a mentor: 'I look at Matt as the older me,' Carti said.
Q 16Which guest joins Carti on 'M3tamorphosis' from Whole Lotta Red?
Kid Cudi
Kid Cudi. Fans had already tied the two together: a leaked Carti verse went viral in 2019 under a nickname borrowed from his name, well before they shared an official track.
Q 17Whole Lotta Red took No. 1 on the Billboard 200 from which pop star's surprise December album?
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift. Her Evermore had led for two weeks when Carti's album opened with 100,000 units, his first chart-topper, and Evermore took the top spot straight back the following week.
Q 18Which Whole Lotta Red track is built on Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor?
Vamp Anthem
Vamp Anthem. The organ piece is film shorthand for horror, a fit for the vampire alter ego Carti wears across the album; asked why vampires, he said they live forever and are the most fashionable characters.
Q 19Carti's fall 2021 tour for Whole Lotta Red was first announced under what name?
Narcissist
Narcissist. The same word was the announced title of a follow-up album that never appeared on its promised September 2021 date, and the tour went out under another name.
Q 20What is the name of the record label and rap collective Carti founded in 2019?
Opium
Opium. He signed young Atlanta acts who share his dark, punk-tinged look and sound, then took them on the road as the openers for his 2025 arena tour.
Q 24Which Die Lit track features Nicki Minaj?
Poke It Out
Poke It Out. Eight days after the album's surprise release, Minaj was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live and brought Carti out to perform the song with her.
Q 25On which 2023 Travis Scott album does Carti feature on the track 'Fein'?
Utopia
Utopia. 'Fein' gave the pair their biggest stage: at the 2024 Grammys, Scott hurled chairs around the set before Carti emerged to deliver his verse.
Q 26Carti's 2024 collaboration with The Weeknd, 'Timeless', was a single from which Weeknd album?
Hurry Up Tomorrow
Hurry Up Tomorrow. The pair first performed 'Timeless' at a one-night concert in Brazil before its release, and Carti spent much of 2025 as the opening act on The Weeknd's stadium tour.
Q 27Which single from Carti's 2025 album Music is a duet with The Weeknd?
Rather Lie
Rather Lie. Sent to radio within two weeks of the album, it reached No. 4 on the Hot 100, and The Weeknd worked it into his own stadium shows while Carti was opening for him.
Q 28Carti says he first got into music through which group, joined mainly to meet girls?
A choir
A choir. 'I only was into it for the girls, until the very end,' he told Office magazine; then, he said, he actually got into it and it inspired him.
Q 29Which promotional single from Music debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100?
Evil J0rdan
Evil J0rdan. Carti first posted it on Instagram in January 2024, and only when it reached streaming with the album 14 months later could it chart, entering at No. 2.
Q 30Which DJ hosts Carti's album Music, shouting over its tracks like an old mixtape?
DJ Swamp Izzo
DJ Swamp Izzo. The Atlanta DJ had hosted Young Thug's early street tapes, and unlike hosts who add their voice afterwards, he was in the studio while the songs were being made.
