Carter's music is influenced by rap.pers such as Jay Z, Kanye West(who else did he influence perhaps add rappers that he influence on.)

Early Life: In 2016 Fox News claimed that Riverdale was rated 2nd in the top 10 worst suburbs of Atlanta. Growing up Carter seemed to be always getting in some type of trouble. In a 2016 interview with Complex he stated, "My ma couldn't tell me shit. Nobody could tell me shit". This type of lifestyle influenced Carter to get into trouble as a youth and sway away from the idea of pursuing a higher level of education after high school(were other peoples dream of a rap career influence him to do rap instead of school.)

Before Rap Carter wanted to become an NBA star to try and make something of himself. In an interview with The Fader Carti said " I was a young AI and didn't go to practice. That was the time I was really ducking school and it was all hoop and no rap. I would smoke before practice, get on the court and drop 30." Growing up playing basketball Carti looked up to players like Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady, and Vince Carter. After not showing up to practice and getting into a disagreement with his coach Carter stopped pursuing basketball as a career option and started spending more time on music. (what made him choose music is a question that can be answered.)After spending so much time on music and skipping class Playboi Carti barely graduated high school. In an interview with The Fader he said, “I was in class with freshmen finishing work, and if I finished the nine assignments before this time I could graduate.” He was so close to not graduating that that no one showed up to his graduation because they didn't know he was going to graduate. Put after H&M line After being recognized at H&M Playboi Carti made the decision to quit. (you should add more about his time in H&M why he join and why he left as well.)
