Playboi Carti Added To Rolling Loud NY Festival Lineup

It’s been announced that Atlanta superstar Playboi Carti was added to the lineup for New York’s Rolling Loud Festival weekend. The rapper will be headlining the event, which takes place from September 23 to 25th. Interestingly, Playboi Carti’s performed at each Rolling Loud city since last year. It may not be that surprising though, as fans and publications are still praising his most recent album “Whole Lotta Red” even years after its release. Carti even put on a phenomenal show in New York at the festival just a year ago and will likely deliver the same energy this year. Take a look at last year’s performance at Rolling Loud NY below:

His Record Label Opium and Its Current Roster

In addition to his success and moves as a solo artist, he’s growing into a promising executive as well. There are currently a few budding artists signed on to his relatively new record label Opium. Two of his signees, Ken Car$on and Destroy Lonely, have recently dropped solo projects in the last few weeks. Both artists display characteristics influenced by Playboi Carti while still offering unique elements of their own. And with the Homoxide Gang (a duo of rappers also signed onto Opium) slowly rising through the underground, this label of Carti’s could demonstrate lasting power in the grander music scene and industry.

Expectations For Carti and His Upcoming Performance

There’s clearly a reason why Playboi Carti is always welcome and invited to perform at Rolling Loud. He’s proven to be an excellent performer and knows how to engage with his fans impressively while on stage. It’s hard to deny the energy his presence commands and exudes, and this should be no different for 2022’s Rolling Loud in New York. Will you be attending the festival this year?
