Playboi Carti’s music is an escape for me. The
beats he chooses to use along with his flow and melody are so captivating and
make me feel relaxed and relieved. I have anxiety problems sometimes and
listening to his music in those moments is a form of medicine. His music is
more about the atmosphere and less heavy on lyrics. I find him to be an
abstract artist when it comes to music. Sometimes you might not find much
apparent meaning however if you just listen to the music and accept the sound
as a whole you will find such a perfect work of art. For me his song Kelly K is
just that for me a work of art, along with many other songs. The lyrics in some
songs however, have deep poetic meaning as well and tell a story about his life
that most don’t catch. Some may say that he only raps about what every other
young rapper raps about (drugs, money, and women) which is mostly true but
deeper meaning is found within. Playboi Carti grew up in a rough area in
Atlanta Georgia and used drugs as a way to get away from his problems as a
youth and this is now portrayed in his music.
