After months of anticipation, Playboi Carti has finally confirmed the release date for his highly awaited album, I AM MUSIC. The rapper took to Instagram to announce that the project will drop this Friday, March 14 (today), marking his first album in five years since the chart-topping Whole Lotta Red in 2020.
Carti has been teasing the album for months, starting with a preview at Rolling Loud Miami in December 2023. He’s since ramped up promotion, erecting billboards and building hype among fans. Earlier this week, he confirmed that the album is officially finished, putting an end to speculation about its completion.
I AM MUSIC is rumored to have no guest features but will likely include production from top names like Ye, Travis Scott, Mike Dean, and Metro Boomin. While details are scarce, fans are hopeful the album will deliver Carti’s signature innovative and high-energy sound.
Following Carti’s announcement, the road to I AM MUSIC has been anything but smooth. Fans have grown increasingly frustrated with the delays, especially after Carti FaceTimed popular streamer Kai Cenat during a live broadcast, promising the album would drop in “two more hours.
The announcement caused chaos on Cenat’s stream, where over 300,000 viewers eagerly waited—only to be left disappointed.
Prominent rap commentator DJ Akademiks also expressed his irritation, even delaying a flight to Miami in frustration over the album’s unclear release timeline. The delays have led to growing skepticism among fans, many of whom have been waiting over four years for new music from Carti.
Despite the setbacks, anticipation for I AM MUSIC remains high. Rumors of potential collaborations with artists like Justin Bieber, Future, and Travis Scott have kept fans hopeful. However, Carti’s history of delays has left some questioning whether the album will actually arrive on time.
As the clock ticks down fans are holding their breath, hoping Carti will finally deliver the project they’ve been eagerly awaiting.
