PLAYBOI CARTI IS RELEASING ‘I AM MUSIC’ TONIGHT
Playboi Carti finally did it—'I Am Music' is officially out tonight, and I couldn't be more hyped. It’s been five years since he gave us Whole Lotta Red, and honestly, the wait felt endless, with all the teases and leaks that drove fans wild. But Carti always delivers something worth talking about, whether it's the punk-infused chaos of his last album or the underground, experimental vibe he's known for. With no features, just Carti alone vibing over beats from Ye, Metro, and Mike Dean, this project feels personal, like he’s making a bold statement saying, "This is me...
