DMX recorded a gospel album titled 'Walk With Me Now and You'll Fly With Me Later' in 2008, a new Rolling Stone profile reveals. It was never released.
Playboi Carti is the most musically polarizing rapper on the planet right now.
Artists like Kanye West and Tekashi 6ix9ine might be more divisive pop culture figures overall, but when it comes to the actual
music, no one’s polarized fans more than Carti has in the past couple of years.
The 24-year-old Atlanta rapper stays off social media (“I always let my phone die,” he often remarks in interviews), and he rarely says anything outlandish enough to end up in headlines on gossip sites. Still, everyone has strong opinions about the way he makes music. Since emerging on SoundCloud with songs like “YUNGXANHOE” and “Broke Boi” in the mid-2010s, he has defied the traditional conventions of rap music in a way that pisses off hip-hop purists with as much intensity as it excites anyone in search of something new. Carti has assumed the role of rap’s latest disruptive lightning rod, sparking conversations about how the genre should (and shouldn’t) evolve next.
