Playboi Carti is known for his unique sound.

If you know anything about Playboi Carti, you understand that he isn't afraid to experiment with his sound. Since bursting onto the scene in the middle of the 2010s, Carti has given us numerous eras. Overall, fans are particularly fond of his current era, which can be called "Vampire Carti." On his album Whole Lotta Red, Carti completely embraced the "Vamp" lifestyle. Moreover, he introduced a ton of punk and metal aesthetics to his sound. He has carried that over into his live shows as he always has a guitarist with him to give each song an added flair.

Additionally, you cannot talk about Carti's sound without mentioning his ad-libs. Playboi Carti is second to none when it comes to those added vocal flairs. Ultimately, it is an integral part of his sound, and fans absolutely love him for it. However, it turns out his process for recording these ad-libs is... strange to say the least. In the videos down below, you can see footage of Carti recording his vocal add-ons. During the process, Carti can be seen straining his neck, leaning backward, and completely squeaking his voice.

As you can probably surmise, these clips are going viral throughout the Twitter-sphere. This makes sense when you consider just how bizarre the videos are. Carti is an enigmatic artist, and this just adds to that mystery. Moreover, some fans are simply downright concerned. For instance, one person asked, "is he having a seizure?" Others, however, had the ultimate respect for Playboi Carti and his craft. "Legendary shit," one person said as another added, "If this is what it takes to be great. This is what I shall do."

At the end of the day, this just helps build up hype for everything else that Carti may have in the works. He is supposed to be dropping off a new album soon. Additionally, Lil Uzi Vert is currently teasing collabs with Carti. It is clear that he is an artist in demand, and that will not be changing anytime soon. Let us know what you thought of these clips, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the music world.
