DJ Akademiks Causes A Stir With Playboi Carti Album Update

by

DJ Akademiks is someone who has had the inside scoop quite a bit throughout his career. Overall, he was the one who delivered to fans the official audio of Drake’s “Push Ups” diss track. Furthermore, he had the exclusive on the latest Quavo diss song towards Chris Brown. Although not everyone is a fan of Akademiks, you have to give him credit for the way he has built his brand. At this stage in his career, he has proven to be someone that a few big artists have a great deal of respect for.

One artist who has built a rapport with Akademiks is none other than Playboi Carti. Carti is an incredibly hard artist to pin down, so it’s impressive that Ak has been able to get anything from him. Months ago, Akademiks claimed that Carti’s album would be dropping soon. Subsequently, Carti went on to drop six singles without putting any of them on streaming services. This led to some distrust as fans have no clue what is really going on.

DJ Akademiks Causes Some Excitement

In the tweet above, you can see a recent video of Carti in a car with some women who are getting rowdy in the front seat. This prompted Akademiks to tweet “Carti Album OTW. 2024 Music.” Subsequently, fans reacted to this tweet with quite a bit of skepticism. After all, Carti never seems to actually give real updates on his projects. Perhaps a new song is coming tonight, although we won’t know until later in the day. Hopefully, Carti ends up surprising us and throws fans a bit of a bone.

Fans Are Skeptical

Playboi Carti Pays Homage To His Love Of Punk On “Ketamine”

by

Playboi Carti is someone who has a cult-like fanbase who will go to the ends of the earth to listen to his music. Overall, Carti has been pretty coy about his releases over the years. Die Lit was a surprise release while Whole Lotta Red was steeped in delays. Now, he has a new album called Music dropping, and based on the marketing, it should be dropping this year. Dating back to last December, Carti came through with five new singles and none of them are on streaming services.

The rollout has frustrated fans greatly, especially since he has gone a couple of months without releasing anything. Well, it seems like the prayers have been answered. On Tuesday, Carti took to his Opium Instagram account to reveal that a song would be coming out at 9:30 PM EST. Fans flooded to the page at that exact time and they were reworded with a new track called “Ketamine.” Below, you can find the music video for the track, which features a guitarist and some very obvious punk references.

The song itself is short and may not be as impactful as the previous singles. Although the production does a phenomenal job of building tension and bringing the hype, Carti keeps things one note for the majority of the song. He has brought forth his new deep-toned flow, but that is as far as he goes here. Regardless, it is a solid effort and it’s just good to see Carti releasing again. Hopefully, this will lead to an album announcement sometime soon.

Let us know what you think of this new track, in the comments section down below. Are you excited for the new Carti album? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed on the biggest releases from your favorite artists.

Quotable Lyrics:

She fuckin’ with a dime, I’m fuckin’ with a bomb
They think I’m Osama, woah, she think I’m off somethin’
I’m fuckin’ with a bad lil’ vibe, Molly all over her tongue
I’m ’bout to spot me a opp, I’m ’bout to spin their truck, woah (I said)

While exact details of Carti’s next project remain unknown, he reflected on his recording process for the new music during an interview with Numéro Berlin in November. “I’ve been recording in Paris, I love Paris. Amazing,” he said at the time. “I was recording, in a cave, for like three months, and all the music that came out of that is just chaotic and crazy. Then, I’m in a glass house, somewhere in the hills, and the music there is just very good to the ears. And then, I’m in Atlanta and the tensions are just high and the music is biting. So, it’s the little things like that that keep me going, because I’m just trying to talk to myself.” Check out his teaser for working with Pharrell below.
