‘Tis the fucking season, indeed. Playboi Carti is finally dropping his highly anticipated second album, Whole Lotta Red, on Christmas.

Well, this is one we have been waiting a long time for. After almost two years, Playboi Carti is releasing his highly-anticipated second album, the follow-up to his revolutionary record Die Lit, titled Whole Lotta Red. And because he’s cheeky, it comes out on Christmas. ‘Tis the fucking season, indeed.

Playboi Carti has been teasing this one for a long time, dating all the way back to August 2018, when he first revealed the title. He spent last year dropping hints here and there. Back in April, he shot out a cryptic tweet which many assumed to be the artwork for the Die Lit follow-up. As it turns out, it was supposed to be for the lead single, ‘@ MEH’.

As has always been the case with him, we’re not getting a tracklist for this one either. He did, however, tease some art for the album, which renders the rapper in a very funky, Godfather-esque caricature.

While we don’t know who’s featuring on the album with him yet, he did confirm that Kid Cudi will make an appearance through his Instagram.

He also posted a cryptic video which hinted at a possible Kanye West collaboration as well. While nothing was confirmed, it did get fans excited for Whole Lotta Red. 

Pre-orders for Whole Lotta Red are open now, along with themed merch.
