Playboi Carti Or Future? Fans Completely Befuddled On Who Dropped “ALL RED”

September 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It looks like Playboi Carti is finding himself in a Desiigner situation this morning after dropping “ALL RED”. It’s the lead single for his eagerly awaited fourth studio album, I AM MUSIC, and it was announced pretty last minute. As soon as this news came through, his passionate fans were so ready for this new era for him to finally begin. However, after spinning the track listeners don’t know who released the song. “Is it Playboi or Future?”, is essentially the question that a lot of people are asking themselves this morning.

According to XXL, it’s a pretty trending topic right now on X, and you can see all the perplexed tweets, below. Overall, Carti has been moving in this darker and deeper direction with his voice for about a year or so know. However, it’s so hard to not hear his fellow Atlantan instead. It’s pretty uncanny how the now 29-year-old was able to pull off such a similar delivery to Future.

You can slightly hear a difference in the pitch, as it does sound a little higher. But overall, it seems that it’s too close for a lot of people because there are some upset fans out there. Additionally, there’s even some out there who are theorizing Carti dropped a Future song on purpose to get the label off his back. With listeners growing more impatient with every day that passes without the album, “ALL RED” the hitmaker kind of put himself in a precarious situation. Unless he proves the angry mob wrong, they will be calling him Playboi Future Carti.

Playboi Carti Pressured By NBA Team To Drop His Album

September 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti is an artist who has built an entire brand for himself by being mysterious. Overall, this has caused a lot of strife within his fanbase. Whenever he does speak out, fans treat it like Big Foot has just been proven to be real. However, more often than not, Carti leaves his fans completely and utterly confused. This is because he is constantly making promises he has no intention of keeping. Over the last year, he has consistently teased his new album I Am Music. In fact, he has released six singles since November. Despite this, there is no album release date in sight.

Interestingly enough, Carti just did a cover story with Billboard where it was revealed that he would, in fact, be dropping this year. We will just have to wait and see. As for his social media activity, Carti has been posting new outfits on his Opium burner account. In one of these outfits, Carti can be seen wearing an Orlando Magic jersey with Penny Hardaway’s name and number on the back. This subsequently got the attention of the magic, who took to Twitter to say what we are all thinking.

“Drop the album,” they wrote matter-of-factly. The person running the account must be a huge Playboi Carti fan. A frustrated one at that. Having said that, Carti’s new sound is something that should excite fans quite a bit. His six singles, starting with “UR THE MOON” have proven to be extremely popular. However, fans are now unsure if those songs will even be an indication of his album’s sound. We will just have to trust the process and see.

Let us know what you think about Playboi Carti and his constant album delays, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Carti will actually drop his album at some point this year? Or do you think we will end up having to wait until 2025? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Playboi Carti Gives Hopeful Progress Update On His Eagerly Awaited “I Am Music” Album

September 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Saying that Playboi Carti fans are ready for I Am Music would be a massive understatement. The influential Atlanta, Georgia MC has been teasing his third studio album for quite a while, with a lot of it happening at the beginning of this year. The 28-year-old put out several tracks on his YouTube and Instagram accounts such as “EVILJ0RDAN”, “BACKR00MS”, “Ketamine”, “2024”, and more. Despite a lack of new singles or any news for that matter, Carti has been keeping busy in the features department.

He’s worked with the likes of Metro Boomin and Future, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign, Camila Cabello, Drake and more. A few of his contributions have led to some high charting success, so at least he’s active and staying relevant. However, we would be lying if we said that this was enough. Thankfully, we are finally getting some more news surrounding I Am Music and it’s good. Billboard released a revealing feature on the mysterious rager that was conducted right before Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash in June.

Playboi Carti Is A “Meticulous” Creator

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by billboard (@billboard)

In the article, he reveals that the album is still in the works and is still slated for a 2024 release. Throughout the piece, Carti is described as “meticulous”. The “Magnolia” hitmaker was frustrated with the creative losses during the recording of Whole Lotta Red thanks to leaks. It’s maybe why he’s taking an even more precautious approach to I Am Music, making sure that the art remains hidden, for the most part. Carti’s manager and Opium CEO, Erin Larsen, perhaps described it best when it comes to how he views his craft. “He’s giving people his absolute best, things that he wants to put his stamp on. It delays the process. You don’t want to see the Mona Lisa in an art museum before it is a finished piece of work”. While this might anger some, we are even more excited to hear what’s in store for us.

What are your thoughts on Playboi Carti saying that I Am Music is going to be releasing this year? Do you think everything will go according to plan, why or why not? Does this feature with Billboard reveal a lot to you about who Carti is? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Playboi Carti Seemingly Reveals He Welcomed A New Baby In His Surprise ‘H00DByAir’ Song

Playboi Carti has had fans in a chokehold, wondering when he’ll finally drop his followup to his first-career No. 1 album, Whole Lotta Red, which arrived on Christmas Day in 2020. Last Christmas, Carti returned to social media and appeared to tease that new music was imminent. It wasn’t until last week that he released a new song, “2024,” but fans didn’t have to wait another year for the next development.

On Tuesday, December 19, Carti posted a video to Instagram Story. It features someone screaming (to put it lightly), “CARTI DROPPIN’ AGAIN [EXPLETIVE] TONIGHT!” Written atop the video is, “9:00 PARENTAL ADVISORY EXPLICIT CONTENT TUESDAY.”

Shortly thereafter, Carti reshared an Instagram Reel posted by Opium, captioned, “H00DBYAIR #IAMMUSIC.”

Toward the end of the song, Carti raps, “I was 24 when I had lil Onyx / 27 when I had Eve.” As pointed out by XXL, people are assuming that the bar serves as an announcement that Carti has welcomed a baby named Eve. Carti welcomed Onyx, his son with ex Iggy Azalea, in 2020. It must be noted that Carti was arrested for allegedly choking his pregnant girlfriend last December, as reported by TMZ.

“According to the arrest affidavit, obtained by TMZ, the woman told police the rapper grabbed her by her throat and pushed her, holding her neck until she could barely breathe,” the outlet reported in February. “She even told cops she thought she was going to die. Police say the woman told officers she’s been in a relationship with Playboi Carti for two years, has lived with him since July 2022 and was 14 weeks pregnant at the time of the alleged incident on December 20.”

The “H00DByAir” video features appearances by Destroy Lonely, Homixide Gang, and Ken Carson — fellow Opium Collective members and openers on Carti’s Antagonist Tour, which was postponed in August to 2024.

The “#IAMMUSIC” hashtag all but confirms what was already widely accepted as fact. Carti is reportedly gearing up to release an album “early next year (currently with a tentative release date in January),” per Hypebeast. Earlier this month, Carti posted a word graphic to a since-expired Instagram story reading, “I AM MUSIC,” which currently serves as Carti’s Instagram profile picture, so it’s believed that I Am Music is the album’s title.
