Playboi Carti's last album, titled Whole Lotta Red, was released in 2020
It has been about four years since Playboi Carti released a new studio album. His first album titled Die Lit was launched in 2018, two years after which Whole Lotta Red made it to public platforms. The last album featured a number of celebrity guests like Kanye West, Future, and Kid Cudi.
Carti's upcoming studio album I Am Music, was scheduled to be released sometime this year in 2024. The rapper began teasing this album a long time back in March 2021, a few months after the release of the second album.
In August, Playboi Carti confirmed the release date of the album, then known as Narcissist, to be September 13. The date passed but Carti's album didn't make it to platforms for fans to enjoy it. In April, he told XXL that the name of the album had been changed to Music.
Throughout 2022 and 2023, Carti was quite active with his live performances but no album was launched, thus, sparking curiosity among fans. On November 17, 2024, Carti revealed that Kanye West was behind the production of his upcoming album.
