FRESHMAN '17....PART 8 OF 10: Playboi Carti

And I swear I had these thots before I got the fame,
And I swear I had the Glock before I got the chain,
I'm in Bompton with Pirus and I don't even bang,
Shoutout G Weed and Yung L, yo hoe that the gang,
Shoutout GiGi that's my boo, she know that I claim,
Shootin' at these niggas like I'm in the paint,

Probably the biggest star of the XXL Freshman '17 cover has to be Playboi Carti. So far he has been putting out hit after hit. But as much as he is a star, he also has a mysterious and reserved personality. Anyone who knows hip-hop knows that Atlanta is where it's at, but for Playboi Carti it wasn't until he moved to Brooklyn that his rap career really took off. Playboi Carti wasn't his first rap name, like all rappers there was an evolution, and the first rap name he used was Sir Cartier. But rapping isn't all he wants to do. Like his A$AP label mate Rocky, Playboi Carti has aspirations of getting into fashion and acting. So here are some facts about Playboi Carti:
