The wait is over: Playboi Carti releases new album ‘I am Music’

Playboi Carti

Playboi Carti is back.

In today’s music industry silence breeds irrelevance and privacy is the first step to obscurity. One artist continues to defy the odds. Aside from a few singles, features, and leaks, Playboi Carti has been functionally silent since his 2020 project, Whole Lotta Red. The 28-year-old rapper’s mystery has become as big as his music. His lack of words is just as powerful as his lyrics. He joins the ranks of a select few artists like Frank Ocean and Andre 3000. Artists who hold the public captive by ignoring them. However, on March 14th, 2025, Playboi Carti took mercy on his fans and broke his vow of silence.

He unleashed a full-length project that is already living up to the anticipation that has been building for half of a decade.

‘I Am Music’ by Playboi Carti Is Here

‘I am Music’ is Playboi Carti’s fourth project since his debut in 2017. The project demonstrates the versatility and maturation of Carti’s sound. The album is a 30 song, 76-minute crowd pleaser featuring Kendrick Lamar, the Weeknd, Young Thug, Jhene Aiko, Future, Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert, Ty Dolla $ign, and Skepta. The albums lead single, “All Red” already charted at number 15 on the Billboard Top 100.

‘I Am Music’ has something for everyone. Fans of Carti’s signature mosh pit inducing records are sure to love songs like “POP OUT” and “CRUSH.” Meanwhile, fans of his wavy SoundCloud era can revel in nostalgia with records like “FINE SH-T” and “I SEEEEEE YOU BABY BOI.” Those who prefer a classic Atlanta trap sound will be satiated by records like “CHARGE THEM HOES A FEE” and “TRIM.” Even casual rap fans can tune in with radio friendly records like “BACKD00R” featuring Kendrick Lamar and Jhene Aiko and “RATHER LIE” featuring The Weeknd.

Hype is hard to create and even harder to live up to. Playboi Carti is a pillar of consistency. Never leaving his fans too deprived, never leaving the airwaves over-saturated, always making the wait worthwhile.

Check out the project below:
