A medium shot of the rapper Playboi Carti leaning casually against a dark blue wall. He is wearing a black leather jacket over a black t-shirt, dark jeans, and a black durag. He has a silver chain necklace visible, and his right arm is raised, resting against a doorframe, as he looks off to the side.

After his “Antagonist” tour stopped in Tampa nearly two years ago, Playboi Carti is taking a victory lap.

The “Antagonist 2.0” tour supports his album, Music (stylized in all caps), released last March. That album boasted features from Travis Scott, the Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, Jhené Aiko, Skepta, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Ty Dolla Sign and Young Thug. Since Music was three years in the making, he released a deluxe edition (Music – Sorry 4 Da Wait) 11 days later.

For fans, it was all seemingly was. His sold-out Fort Worth, Texas show last week had mosh pits going all night—“donning all black and foaming at the mouth,” per the Dallas Observer. That’s also a good sign for the openers, all also from Atlanta.

Oh, and Carti’s getting a Fortnite skin. Ask your nephew what that means.

Tickets start at $87.55 for Playboi Carti w/Ken Carson/Destroy Lonely/Homixide Gang, playing Tampa’s  Benchmark International Arena on Sunday, Nov. 30.
