Whole Lotta Red (Mario Judah EP)

Whole Lotta Red is the debut EP by rapper Mario Judah. It was self-released on December 11, 2020, as a flippant response to fellow rapper Playboi Carti’s repeated delays of his long-anticipated album of the same name. Prior to its release, Judah publicly stated that he would issue his own project titled ‘‘Whole Lotta Red’’ if Carti did not meet a self-imposed deadline, framing the announcement as a challenge. The strategy generated significant attention and virality across social media platforms and online music publications.

The EP functions as a parody of the rage rap style and satirizes the prolonged anticipation surrounding Carti’s Whole Lotta Red, which was ultimately released 2 weeks after Judah’s EP.
