Playboi Carti - Money & Drugs (M.A.D) / WLR V2

Playboi Carti – Money & Drugs (M.A.D) | WLR V2 “Money & Drugs,” also known as “M.A.D,” is an unreleased Playboi Carti track from the Whole Lotta Red V2 era. The song was recorded in 2020 and is associated with the early version of Whole Lotta Red that existed before the final album took its darker, vamp-inspired direction. The track is widely associated with producer JetsonMade, with Star Boy also credited in available songwriting/production information. JetsonMade was heavily involved with Carti’s 2020 sound and also produced Carti’s “@ MEH.” (Last.fm) 🎵 Track Information Artist: Playboi Carti Title: Money & Drugs / M.A.D Era: Whole Lotta Red V2 Year recorded: 2020 Producer: JetsonMade Additional production/writing credit: Star Boy Length: approximately 2:32 Status: Unreleased / leaked-era material The song became known among Carti fans through snippets and later circulated in the underground Carti leak community. A snippet was publicly previewed in June 2020, helping make the track one of the better-known songs connected to the V2 era. (Last.fm) “Money & Drugs” is particularly interesting because it represents the transition period between Carti’s earlier Die Lit-influenced sound and the experimental direction he was developing during 2020. Instead of the fully developed vamp aesthetic heard on the final Whole Lotta Red, the track has the repetitive, hypnotic vocal approach and bright, unusual production that fans often associate with the WLR V2 era. There was also speculation that Post Malone could have been involved with the song. This came from social-media activity around Carti and Post Malone in March 2020, although a finished Post Malone feature was never officially confirmed. (Last.fm) The title “M.A.D” is another important part of the song’s history. Fans have used both “Money & Drugs” and “M.A.D” when referring to the track, and its exact intended official title was debated during the Whole Lotta Red rollout. (Reddit) 🧛 WLR V2 ERA The V2 era is one of the most discussed periods in Playboi Carti’s unreleased catalog. Carti was experimenting heavily with different voices, flows, production styles and song structures throughout 2020. Songs such as “Money & Drugs,” “@ MEH,” “Teen X,” “Cartier,” “Trenches” and other snippets are commonly connected with this period by fans. (Reddit) “Money & Drugs” ultimately did not appear on the final 2020 release of Whole Lotta Red, leaving it as one of the many highly discussed unreleased tracks from Carti’s original album concepts.
