Carti began work on 'Whole Lotta Red' in late 2018 and, over the next two years, many of his songs were leaked accumulating tens of millions of streams. He didn't release any original music and was instead featured on numerous singles, including 'Baguettes in the Face' featuring NAV and A Boogie wit da Hoodie from DJ Mustard's album, and 'Earfquake' by Tyler the Creator. In April 2020, he released his first new music since 2018 with the song '@ Meh' which peaked at #35 on the Billboard Hot 100. The following month, he was featured on the single 'Pain 1993' by Drake. In November 2020, Carti announced that 'Whole Lotta Red' was complete and had been submitted to his label.
