Playboi Carti Album Details So Far

Playboi Carti’s long-awaited third album has been spoken of since 2022. So much that fans have been questioning Carti about the release of the effort at every turn. The album was initially titled Music, as told to XXL in the Spring 2022 cover story. He also shared topics to be expected on the album. “Love. Sex. Drugs,” Carti said. “Changes in my life. I’ve been rapping about going to rehab. I want to go to rehab because I think I’m bipolar. I want everybody to feel free. I want this album to make everyone feel free. I hope this album brings peace to the world, honestly. I’m in love with what I’m doing.”

Playboi Carti‘s next album is reported to be released by the end of the year. However, a confirmed date has not been shared just yet. And while fans are apprehensive about whether or not I Am Music will arrive this year, Carti has been promising the project.
