Carti’s Recent Collaborations

The following month, Carti lent his vocals to Future and Metro Boomin’s “Type S**t” from their album *WE DON’T TRUST YOU*. The song also featured Travis Scott, with whom Carti collaborated on 2023’s “FE!N.”

Additionally, Carti crossed over into alt-pop with a feature on Camila Cabello’s “I LUV IT.”

ASAP Rocky recently spoke about Playboi Carti’s impact on the rap game, telling Billboard, “That’s where rap is. I knew that’s what it was going to be. What do people expect? We [are] not just signing people to be signing people. We want to be the best of the best, and that’s all it is, and his s**t speaks for itself.”

As fans eagerly await Carti’s next move, his cryptic Instagram post and recent collaborations suggest that new music could be on the horizon. The rapper’s unique style and influence on the genre continue to solidify his status as a force to be reckoned with in the rap industry.
