Playboi Carti has finally set the record straight on the much-anticipated release of his third studio album, I AM MUSIC. However, doubts still loom among his dedicated fanbase who have been down this road before.
To the excitement and skepticism of many, Carti took to Instagram Stories recently to announce, "MY ALBUM DONE," confirming the completion of his project after months of teasing and anticipation.
Twitter erupted with the news as Carti simply tweeted "X," indicating the album's arrival on Friday, March 14th.
The buzz surrounding the album intensified with strategically placed billboards in major cities and Spotify adding to the excitement with cryptic messages alongside their branding.
Following the successful 2020 release of Whole Lotta Red, which hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200, I AM MUSIC sees Carti taking a different approach by going solo without any guest features.
The album is said to feature production from heavyweights like Kanye West, Travis Scott, Mike Dean, Metro Boomin, and Wheezy, with Wheezy confirming a sample from Jay-Z's iconic track "Girls, Girls, Girls."
Carti has already teased fans with snippets of new tracks during his Rolling Loud Miami performance, including the highly anticipated song "Ketamine," and dropped the lead single "All Red" on his birthday, building anticipation for the album's release.
Despite the breadcrumbs and promising features, fans are cautiously optimistic, given the history of delays and uncertainties surrounding Carti's releases. The question remains whether March 14 will finally bring the long-awaited album or just another false alarm.
