Playboi Carti New Album: What We Know So Far

by

It’s truly an exciting time to be a Playboi Carti fan, as it looks like a full-scale return is nigh. The widely successful Atlanta rapper and singer is due to release his long-awaited third studio album sometime in early 2024. The rapper has been mainly on the low since 2020. This came after the release of his last album, Whole Lotta Red. The stellar project included appearances from Kanye West, Kid Cudi, and Future.

In 2023, Playboi Carti appeared on Travis Scott’s “FE!N,” from the latter’s impressive album, Utopia. This week, Scott returned the favor by joining Carti on the promotional single, “Backr00ms” on New Year’s Day. Nonetheless, with the recent anticipation that some new Carti is on the way, here’s what we know about the upcoming project.

I AM MUSIC: The Return Of Playboi Carti

On December 7, the account @Opium_00puim, an affiliate of Playboy Carti sent out a post that caused a raucous. With a graphic display that read “I AM MUSIC,” and a caption that read “PREPARE,” fans were elated with the news. The punk-rap scene has since been on fire in the past few weeks. Playboi Carter released the new joint, “Different Day” a few days later. He soon followed that up by releasing the overnight sensation, “2024” on December 15. 

On the 19th, we got another taste in the form of “H00DBYAIR,” his third new song of the month. “H00DBYAIR,” like its predecessors “2024” and “Different Day,” was released solely as a music video on the same account. Toward the end of the song, Playboi Carti announces the birth of his daughter, Yves. “I was 24 when I had lil’ Onyx (then I had a daughter; I got a daughter too), 27 when I had Yves/ Now I can finally sleep.”

What To Expect: Tracklist And Features

Some of the rumors surrounding the project indicate that it will include punk and metal elements, though the extent of these influences remains unclear. However, in usual Playboi Carti fashion, the sound he’s helped to push into the mainstream will remain present in his upcoming work. Due to his absence for some time,  many fans are also, understandably looking forward to hearing his evolution. Furthermore, Carti’s recent festival performances have also been a highlight. Specifically, the inclusion of a live guitarist on the studio album will give an interesting twist to the entire project. His incredible Rolling Loud set in 2023 was one of Hip Hop’s most popular highlights of the year. Fans have jeered at the overall releases and excerpts, believing that fantastic things are on the way. 

Besides “Backr00ms,” the following titles have been heavily speculated by fans and the media to be seen on the project:

  • “Rockstar”
  • “Pop Out”
  • “Killers”
  • “Problem Child” (featuring Travis Scott)
  • “I’m Not Playing”
  • “Different Day”
  • “H00dByAir”
  • “2024″

As far as features go, Playboi Carti sure knows how to pick them. He posted a video on his Instagram Story over the Christmas weekend with former Fifth Harmony singer Camila Cabello. In the photo,  the pair were in the studio together. Carti captioned the photo “Baby Girl,” evidently drawing some attention as to whether the singer will be a featured act on the project.  Additionally, he sent an Opium chain to NBA Youngboy in June 2023, leading to speculation surrounding a potential collaboration.

The rapper also uploaded a picture of his chat with Vince Staples on social media. “Never forget what I told you way back when you were the one outta the youth just keep being yourself, they will catch up,” he wrote. Naturally, this has fueled the speculation that Staples might also be a featured act on the upcoming album. Other speculated artists are Jaden Smith, Travis Scott, Ye, and Opium artists, Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely, and Homixide Gang.

When To Expect The New Playboi Carti Album?

Overall, no one knows when the upcoming album will be released. Some predict that the album might come sooner than later, and as early as January.  However, so far, all the fans can hold on hope to is speculation. After all, Playboi Carti, in his usual fashion, has always taken delight in his enigmatic nature. He usually keeps to himself and then surprises everyone with a release. The same thing happened with Die Lit, and then with A Whole Lotta Red. DJ Akademiks has further boosted the anticipation with an announcement on X, formerly known as Twitter. On December 7, he tweeted: “Playboi Carti’s album coming JANUARY! will be the greatest thing you ever heard.”

That will be for a multitude of reasons. The Georgia rapper could be ready to drop his eagerly-awaited album Music. We have already gotten four great singles from the project already. “2024,” “H00DBYAIR,” “Different Day,” and “BACKR00MS” have all been driving the fans into a frenzy.

Playboi Carti Reveals Some Texts From Travis Scott After “BACKR00MS” Release

by

Playboi Carti is getting a lot of attention and for good reason. His eagerly awaited new album Music is slated for release sometime this year and every single for it has been well received. The most recent of them was “BACKR00MS” which just came out last night at 9:30 p.m. It features Travis Scott and production from Cardo, as well as Ojivolta once again. In the first 13 minutes or so of the song’s premiere on YouTube, it already had over 227,000 views.

Now, that count is up to 4.4 million, and is currently the number one video on YouTube’s trending list. Carti is really playing into his darker voice on it and Travis brought on a nice verse on the backend. In the midst of all of the hype, La Flame shot a text over to Carti. It read, “We goin brazy twin. I had to slide on the kids. Otw back 2nite.”

Carti posted his conversation on his Instagram story. He replied with, “Family first love u. So much!” Playboi also tagged Travis in the post. This could mean a couple of things. One, Travis and Carti could have another song coming. That could be a possibility because he said more music would drop if the streams kept going up. Or, Travis could be producing the next single for Carti. Either way, that song will also blow up the internet.

What are your initial thoughts on these text messages between Playboi Carti and Travis Scott after their collab “BACKR00MS?” How are you feeling about their new song so far? Where do you rank amongst the rest of the songs they have together? Do you think they have another track in the works or is it just to get fans excited?

Playboi Carti Name-Drops Ice Spice (Much To Her Approval) In His Surprise Travis Scott Collab ‘Backr00ms’

by

To kick off the new year, Playboi Carti and Travis Scott dropped a new collaboration titled “Backr00ms.” Scott helped announce the song yesterday, with a video shared on his Instagram. In it, an artist named Blackhaine (according to Rolling Stone) shared, “New music. Carti. Travis Scott. Dropping [bleep] today,” as a giant Parental Advisory sticker covered his face.

The song’s relatively surprise drop also came with a music video, where Carti is spending his money on a dancer, and the two rappers are seen performing throughout.

“In the middle of the field, throw me a bomb, I’m throwin’ that bih like a quarterback,” the chorus goes, via Genius. “Standin’ in the field, holdin’ a bomb, throwin’ that ho like a quarterback / Stood in the field, hold me a bomb, throwin’ that ho like a quarterback.”

However, there’s also another eye-catching aspect. During the track, Carti name-drops Ice Spice at the end of his first verse. “B*tch tryna sneak pictures, I don’t give a f*ck ’bout much / I think I need me a Ice Spice, yeah, I want me a munch,” he raps.

She later took to X (formerly Twitter) to indicate her approval of the reference:

This marks Carti’s follow-up to a recent “2024” song, as fans suspect he is gearing up to drop a new album.

Check out “Backr00ms” above.

Playboi Carti ushered in New Year’s Eve with new music, dropping off the video for “BACKR00MS” featuring Travis Scott.

In the video, footage from what appears to be an office building shows Carti with a beautiful woman as he counts up before hitting a garage for his super-sized ride. The star rapper appears in all black, accented by numerous diamonds.

One of the key bars is, “I think I need me an Ice Spice, yeah I want me a Munch.” And Ice Spice definitely heard it.

Kanye West Reposts Playboi Carti Single Announcement, Sparks Fan Speculation

by

Earlier today, Playboi Carti announced a new single. He’s been dropping tracks on YouTube for a few weeks now but it seems like he’s gearing up to release his first official new song in years. Not only is he returning with a new track, but he also confirmed that it features Travis Scott. The pair have collaborated twice before already. Scott contributed a verse to the song “Love Hurts” from Carti’s 2018 album Die Lit. They teamed up again earlier this year for the hit song “FEIN!” from Travis Scott’s new album UTOPIA.

But the new single could feature yet another major collaborator. Kanye West uses his social media pretty sparingly these days but he took to his Instagram story earlier today. He did so in order to share Carti’s new single announcement, indicating he may have also had something to do with the song. Many fans speculated right away that he may have played a role on the production end of the song. That guess makes sense as West contributed production work to one of the songs Carti dropped on YouTube last month. Check out West’s repost of the announcement below.

Kanye West Shares Playboi Carti Announcement

In other Kanye West news, it was reported last year that he’s selling his $53 million Malibu mansion. The house is famously designed by architect Tadao Ando, but was stripped of many of its essential facets since West purchased it. Now an insider has revealed some of the reasons West is choosing to sell the sparse living space.

“Unfortunately, the concrete settled into more of a cadet gray and he was hoping for a warmer tone, more of dovetail gray or coachman’s cape. Ye would only visit the house at sunrise and sunset when he said the color didn’t irritate him so much. Eventually, he stopped going altogether,” the insider revealed. What do you think of Kanye West resharing Playboi Carti’s new song announcement? Do you think West did production work on the track? Let us know in the comment section below.

Playboi Carti & Travis Scott Dropping New Music Tonight

by

Playboi Carti’s Music is almost here, with an early January drop in the cards and various singles coming out on non-streaming social media platforms. Moreover, it seems like he didn’t want to waste any time in 2024, and is acting quite fast to get fans even more excited. To do so, the Atlanta native tapped one of the biggest artists working today, someone with whom he crafted one of the biggest songs of 2023. The “FE!N,” “Love Hurts,” and “Green & Purple” duo is back, as he and Travis Scott are apparently dropping new music tonight (Monday, January 1) at 9:30PM (time zone unclear). In a clip used to announce this, presumably one of the Whole Lotta Red stars onstage goons shouts out the good news.

Furthermore, this falls in line with previous hints of new music coming very soon from Playboi Carti’s producer, F1lthy. It seems like this confirms that was the case, even if the timeline that he set out wasn’t exactly how things ended up panning out. Still, there’s a lot of excitement for the rage pioneer to come through with another defining body of work, and it’s unclear what styles or sounds he will champion on this. Teases like “UR THE MOON,” “2024,” and “H00DBYAIR” sound less rage-heavy and more ethereal or rooted in typical trap.

Travis Scott & Playboi Carti Are Dropping Tonight

Of course, this isn’t all that’s contributing to this album cycle; after all, even Playboi Carti has to play the extracurricular game. In this case, it relates to relationship rumors, which are a bit concerning given his history with romantic trouble and alleged abuse and neglect in the past. Regardless, when the 28-year-old and Camila Cabello were spotted on a FaceTime call, people still went straight to the rumor mill to speculate. It’s certainly a very different headline that we’re not used to seeing with his rollouts.

Meanwhile, the “King Vamp” MC’s ex, Iggy Azalea, recently accused him of being an absent father again after he posted a clip of him with their son Onyx. A lot of drama surfaced around this in 2023, and hopefully 2024 brings better news regarding it. But what fans know for sure is that this year is finally going to end the drought for new Playboi Carti. For more news on him and the latest updates on Travis Scott, keep checking in with HNHH.

Playboi Carti Dropping New Music Very Soon, Producer F1lthy Seemingly Confirms

by

Whether it’s for new music drops or his close association with other celebrities, Playboi Carti is drumming up a whole lot of noise right now. Moreover, fans couldn’t be more excited for his new album, which is presumably titled Music and will come out in early 2024. Some fans hope it’s a January release date, and while all signs point to there right now, we never know for sure with the Atlanta rage pioneer. However, one of his most acclaimed producers over the past few years just suggested on social media that the wait won’t be much longer. Well, at least for something new; maybe it’ll just be a single coming in the next few hours, it seems.

Furthermore, F1lthy took to Twitter recently to answer stylist Mitch Modes’ inquiry about a rumor they heard: that a new Playboi Carti track titled “Baby Boi” is dropping today (December 31). As of writing this article, nothing’s come up yet, but the producer still added fuel to the fire. “I heard that too !!!” he responded to Modes’ rumor. In addition, it’s unclear whether this would be another social media-only drop like “H00DBYAIR” or if it will officially become available on streaming services. Either way, we’re sure fans will spin it endlessly.

F1lthy Teases New Playboi Carti Music

However, there’s also some alleged beef brewing in the world of Playboi Carti. Recently, he shared a screenshot of an old Young Thug tweet that reads “Boy slow down dropping all that BS music.” Some fans assumed this could be a shot at Lil Uzi Vert, who had released the new track “Red Moon” a day prior. Still, there’s a lot of people that the “OnThatTime” artist could’ve dug at with this reference, and there’s no use in speculating.

Meanwhile, there’s some legitimate beef in the form of his mention of Benji Blue Bills on a recent cut, which got him quite heated. Benji released a video “reacting” to the supposed “diss,” which many fans thought looked staged or at the very least exaggerated. Regardless, we’re sure that Music will hold a lot more curious lyrical content that will send folks into wild theories and narratives. On that note, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Playboi Carti.

Are Playboi Carti & Camila Cabello Dating?

Music fans love to speculate about artists’ relationships for some reason, and the latest dating rumor to arise has involved two truly unlikely candidates for pairing in rapper Playboi Carti and pop singer Camila Cabello. Of course, they have contributed their part to fueling these rumors, according to HipHopDX. Earlier this month, Carti posted a photo of himself and Cabello in the studio with the caption “Baby girl,” then posted another yesterday (Tuesday, December 26) of a screenshot she sent him while they were on a FaceTime call.

Fans have, of course, run away with a narrative, expressing amazement at the apparently dramatic shift in Cabello’s associations (she was previously linked to Shawn Mendes). However, they could just be working on a collaboration, as the singer has shown a fondness for looping in popular, unconventional rappers to spice up her pop hits in the past. A prime example would be her 2017 single “Havana,” which featured Young Thug (which apparently only happened because Gunna’s manager turned down the original collab request). Earlier this month, fans also speculated that she could be dating Drake after they spent time together on a boat.

Carti, of course, has been linked to some eyebrow-raising celebrities, himself. He shares a son with Australian rapper Iggy Azalea — which Iggy insinuates isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Lil Yachty Bumps “Whole Lotta Red” At The Dinner Table In Resurfaced Video

by

For many rap fans, the most memorable part of Christmas day 2020 had nothing to do with the holiday celebrations. That was the date Playboi Carti surprise released his album Whole Lotta Red. The project arrived with no announcement ahead of time and no pre-release singles. For the rapper’s most die-hard fans some of the holiday festivities had to be put on hold so they could listen to his highly-anticipated new album. But in Lil Yachty’s case, he just let the album soundtrack his holiday affair.

In a new video shared by DJ Akademiks, Yachty is at the dinner table eating a meal with his family on Christmas morning. But just like many other Carti fans at the time, he’s bumping Whole Lotta Red while doing it. The hilarious video sees the rapper trying to get his family to vibe along with the music, though it doesn’t exactly work. “Bro was just trying to eat,” one of the top comments jokes in reference to his families lukewarm reaction. Check out the hilarious clip below.

Lil Yachty Bumps “Whole Lotta Red” On Christmas

Recently, Lil Yachty has done some reflecting on his time being signed to the Quality Control label. In an interview earlier this month he reflected on the competitive environment surrounding the label when he first joined. In particular he noted how competitive he felt with Migos, citing Quavo as being specifically skeptical of Yachty when he first arrived.

During a separate conversation, label founder Coach K shared some details on the label’s early days with Yachty. He revealed that it took years of work before the label was ever turning a profit. It was a surprising revelation for fans as the label is now synonymous with success for artists coming out of Atlanta. What do you think of Lil Yachty making his family members listen to Whole Lotta Red on Christmas? Did you spend Christmas Day 2020 listening to the album as well? Let us know in the comment section below.
