"Good Credit" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American rappers Playboi Carti and Kendrick Lamar.[1] It was released through AWGE and Interscope Records as the fifteenth track from Carti's third studio album, Music, on March 14, 2025. The song was written by Playboi Carti and Kendrick Lamar, alongside producer Cardo.[2]

Composition

[edit | edit source]
Kendrick Lamar, whose feature verse on "Good Credit" name-drops basketball player Luka Dončić and rapper ASAP Relli

The song features a verse from Lamar who name-drops Slovenian basketball player Luka Dončić and makes pointed remarks toward rapper ASAP Relli regarding his recent assault case involving ASAP Rocky.[3][4][5] Lamar additionally refers to both Playboi Carti and Cardo, the producer of the song, as his "evil twin", to each one of them respectively.[6] Some, such as DJ Akademiks, have suggested that Lamar's lyrics on "Good Credit", and his other two features, "Mojo Jojo" and "Backd00r", make subtle jabs at Canadian rapper Drake after their feud last year, he also claimed Lamar's involvement in the album's creative direction as he claims the rapper started to work together with Playboi Carti since October–November of 2024.[7][8][9]

With streaming platforms lacking production credits for many songs on Music, some have speculated that Kanye West participated in the production of "Good Credit" due to its specific sample usage.[10] However, such rumors have been dispelled.[11] After the release of Music, West tweeted his disapproval over Lamar's inclusion on the album, like on songs like "Backd00r".[12][13]

Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

Billboard ranked the song at first place in a list of the best guest features on Playboi Carti's Music, lauding Lamar's "razor-sharp wit and precision, as he taunts A$AP Relli and possibly rapper Drake while dissecting fame, wealth and power. He switches flows effortlessly, all while Carti’s high-energy charisma makes the Compton rapper’s controlled delivery pack that much more of a punch."[14] Billboard also called it the fourth best song in Music, lauding the strength of the collaboration between Playboi Carti and Lamar.[15]
