Whole Lotta Red [V4]
In late 2020, Carti would shift the sound of Whole Lotta Red into being an aggressive ode to punk rock aesthetics, while maintaining the repetitive vocal style that made his previous work so loved. The album was his biggest musical departure by far, forgoing most of the things that brought him success in the first place, such as production from Pi'erre Bourne, or features from popular collaborators like Lil Uzi Vert or A$AP Rocky. Instead, the album would only see a handful of features, and would see production predominantly from F1LTHY & Art Dealer. Connecting to V3, on this album Carti talks about his acts violence, expressing how he felt when Bigg Sosa died (grief to anger). On songs like On That Time, Stop Breathing and No Sl33p, he opens up on how he felt, displaying anger, sometimes sadness and vengence for his friend. Ye would be the executive producer for the album, and it would see a release on Christmas Day, 2020.
