Playboi Carti’s highly anticipated third studio album, I Am Music, has been the subject of much speculation and excitement among fans. Initially announced in early 2021, the album has undergone several title changes, including Narcissist and Music, before settling on its current name. Despite multiple teasers, surprise singles, and live performances of unreleased tracks, the official release date remains unconfirmed as of February 2025.
In September 2024, Carti released the single “All Red” on his birthday, marking his first official solo release since 2020’s Whole Lotta Red. He also launched merchandise bundles featuring I Am Music-themed vinyl and CDs, with items scheduled to ship in April 2025. During his headlining performance at Rolling Loud Miami in December 2024, Carti debuted five new songs, further intensifying anticipation for the album.
Collaborations are expected to play a significant role in I Am Music. Carti has previously worked with artists like Kanye West, Travis Scott, and The Weeknd. Notably, he featured on The Weeknd’s single “Timeless” in September 2024, blending their distinctive styles.
Despite the prolonged wait and occasional frustration expressed by fans, Carti’s enigmatic approach continues to generate buzz. As the music community eagerly awaits the official release, I Am Music promises to be a defining moment in Playboi Carti’s career, potentially reshaping contemporary hip-hop.
