Playboi Carti Claims There Will No Features On “I AM MUSIC” Album

by

Playboi Carti is an unpredictable artist. He’s ramping up an album rollout one week, and then going silent the next. It has looked like we were getting I AM MUSIC at several different points throughout 2024. And yet, we are still waiting on the rapper’s anticipated third album. At the risk of broadcasting the voice that has repeatedly cried wolf, Playboi Carti was filmed chatting with fans on November 18. The rapper spoke on the upcoming album, and dropped a huge piece of information regarding its creation.

Playboi Carti can be seen fielding questions from fans while sitting in the back of an SUV. The rapper asked fans whether he should release I AM MUSIC in 2024 or 2025. He decided to pose this question once more on social media. Playboi Carti was then asked which artists were set to appear on the album. The rapper gave a response that was surprisingly direct. “I’m tryna do this by myself,” he mumbled, while rubbing his nose. It may sound bizarre, the notion of an album without any features in 2024, but most of the snippets and leaks support Carti’s claim. There have been a dozen or so leaked snippets from I AM MUSIC dating back to 2021.

Playboi Carti Promises New Music On November 22

All of them feature Playboi Carti on his own, except for the Travis Scott collab “BACKR00MS.” Carti may be the only rapper who appears on the album, but he has recently teased the involvement of other iconic producers. Carti’s snippets include production from the likes of Cardo and SpaceGhostPurrp. The rapper also claimed that Kanye West has a hand in the production of I AM MUSIC. The Ye connection was hinted at in September, then confirmed during a recent live appearance in Las Vegas.

“Shout out to my n**ga Kanye, you know what I’m saying,” Playboi Carti announced to the crowd. “He over here making beats and sh*t. That album gonna be crazy, I can’t wait to show y’all n**gas.” Carti has also teased brand new music on November 22. The rapper has only released one official single from I AM MUSIC thus far, “All Red,” so it stands to reason that what we will be getting on Friday is the second single. Assuming, of course, the rapper makes good on his promise.

Playboi Carti Reveals Kanye West Is Producing New Album “I AM MUSIC”

by

Playboi Carti is giving Frank Ocean a run for his money. The rapper has made an art out of album delays. Whether it be in the form of social media teases or an album announcement for an album we have known about since 2021. It seemed like things were going in a positive direction in September, when he dropped “All Red.” Radio silence followed. Until, that is, Playboi Carti performed on November 16. He not only hyped up the album, but revealed that Kanye West is going to be playing a crucial role in its sound.

Playboi Carti grabbed the mic and showed love to Kanye West amidst all the nightclub chaos. “Shout out to my n**ga Kanye, you know what I’m saying,” he announced. The audio gets a little tough to hear after, thanks to a particularly hyped fan, but Carti seemingly confirms West’s involvement in his upcoming third album, I AM MUSIC. “He over here making beats and sh*t,” Playboi Carti explained. “That album gonna be crazy, I can’t wait to show y’all n**gas.” The glass half full read of this is pretty easy to pull out. Carti and Kanye West is a match made in hip hop heaven, especially if the latter is focused. West is reportedly hard at work on his next album, Bully, so it makes sense that he would be locking in with other artists.

This isn’t the first time Playboi Carti has hinted at West playing a role in I AM MUSIC. The rapper got on Instagram Stories in September to show love to the controversial figure and tease future collabs. “@Ye KANT WAIT 2 SHOW THE WORLD WHAT WE BEEN WORKIN ON WIT DIS ALBUM,” Carti wrote. “WE DA REAL 5L NO DOUBT.” West showed love to the rapper in return, commenting: “Love this” under the post. Carti has repeatedly cited Kanye West as an influence on his work. West has returned the favor by citing Playboi Carti as one of the most important artists of his generation. “It’s always two, two at a time,” West said, when discussing influence. “It’s really Carti and [Lil] Uzi [Vert].”

Playboi Carti has seemingly kicked the album rollout into hire gear since confirming West’s involvement. He took to Instagram on November 18 to announce that he will be dropping new music on November 22. The IG highlight featured a text exchange in which the release date was confirmed. Interestingly enough, the highlight was taken down by Instagram hours later. Carti did clarify that new music is coming, despite the IG complications.

Playboi Carti Finally Announces New Music This Friday… And Absolutely No One Is Fooled

by

Playboi Carti graces fans with not one, but two festival performances this weekend, which is basically like getting a whole rollout from him. He closed out the second day of Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw carnival and festival on Sunday (November 17), and the day before, he performed at Complex Con in Las Vegas. As such, a lot of people found plenty of news to talk about from the Atlanta creative, whether the new music he teased during these shows, his special guests during the performances, or some alleged scuffles with fans in their aftermath. And it looks like he knows all this hype as well, because he felt comfortable enough to lie to our faces again.

Moreover, Playboi Carti announced that he will be dropping new music on Friday via his alternate Instagram account, posting a text message exchange with a mystery individual. Of course, everyone is highly skeptical of this, given just how much he teased his new album, release dates, next moves, and much more only to never follow up on these promises. So we won’t believe this until we see it. Not even Carti’s contribution to “Thought I Was Dead” fully manifested all the way…

Jokes aside, we obviously still can’t wait for whatever Playboi Carti does next, whether that’s a presumed new single this Friday, official drops of his previous IG-only 2024 material, or the long-awaited release of the new album. It’s been almost four full years since Whole Lotta Red, and fans are so desperate for what’s next. At least we also got some more positive news from the Opium camp these days, such as a seemingly squashed beef with LUCKI.

In any case, the “Timeless” collaborator is one of hip-hop’s leaders right now, so it’s kind of frustrating when he makes promises that he can’t keep. He might not be the one to blame for each instance of this, but he kept this up so long that fans started to lose their good faith. But Playboi Carti hasn’t broken his promise to drop this Friday, November 22… yet. So let’s see what happens!

Playboi Carti Accused Of Sending Crew To Attack Fan & His Girlfriend For Trolling The Rapper

by

Playboi Carti has always had a love and hate relationship with fans, as he often shows love in person but refuses to drop or communicate with them often. Sadly, we got a recent alleged example of this that actually introduced animosity in a face-to-face setting. A male fan accused him of sending his entourage to jump him and his girlfriend for handing him a fake picture of him, which was in more of a meme context that he supposedly did not appreciate. “About ten minutes ago, Playboi Carti’s crew jumped me and my girlfriend all because I wanted to ask him to sign my picture,” the fan accused concerning the “Thought I Was Dead” collaborator.

“He took my picture and he told his gang, ‘Go get his phone from him,’” the Playboi Carti fan alleged. “Me and my girl ran and they chased us down. And what I did is I gave him my girlfriend’s phone because I have the video of him snatching it and getting angry. Here’s the video.” In the video, you can see the “Timeless” rapper seemingly grab the picture. Then it cuts to the fan running towards presumably his girlfriend, and then it shows an altercation with various individuals seemingly pinning his girlfriend down.

Playboi Carti Fan Accused Him Of Getting Him And His Girlfriend Jumped

Of course, this is all a pretty unclear situation, and Playboi Carti fans are debating whether or not he’s in the right… if this even is what actually happened. Some think it was an overreaction, others think the fan shouldn’t have trolled, but everyone agrees that allegedly going for his girlfriend took things too far. Sadly, the Atlanta artist is no stranger to conflict whether within or outside his music. He has somewhat of a rivalry with Benji Blue Bills, who recently dropped the track “Load Out” with LAZER DIM 700.

Meanwhile, Ola Runt’s recent release from prison meant that he finally responded to Playboi Carti’s diss back in 2020. So wherever he looks, the Whole Lotta Red creative has some scuffles to handle. Maybe he will clear this situation up and avoid them in the future, but with how shadowy and mysterious he always comes off, we wouldn’t bet on it.

OsamaSon Continues Great Run With “The Whole World Is Free”

by

OsamaSon’s latest single, “The Whole World is Free,” continues his impressive run in 2024. The Atlantic/Motown recording artist latches onto the distorted production with a signature trap style. OsamaSon attempts to persuade the girl of his dream to be with him. He goes through every emotion to cope with the fever dream. Before “The Whole World Is Free,” Osama drew a buzz with his latest single, “just score it,” which generated over a million streams in a matter of weeks. 

The song has drawn excitement since its release on Tuesday (Nov. 12). “This is so beautiful,” commented a Soundcloud user, while another wrote, “This is generational. I could shed a tear.” Some would compare Osama to his rival Playboi Carti. “Better than Carti,” commented a fan. Another would refute the claim with, “Def not is just this song he prolly trying sum different not glazing i js think he trying to go for sum that’s not sticking.” In 2023, Playboi Carti allegedly referred to Osama while promoting his I AM Music campaign on Instagram.

Carti shared an old Young Thug tweet that read: “Boy, slow down dropping all that BS music…” Fans immediately thought the tweet was directed at OsamaSon. Playboi Carti has never mentioned the new artist. Throughout 2024, Osama has prepared for his anticipated album with trending tracks “withdrawls,” “popstar,” and “ik what you did last summer.” Released last month, “ik what you did last summer” has become the rising star’s biggest of the year with over two million streams and counting.

Logic Wants To Rap Like Playboi Carti To Get Paid

by

Former Def Jam recording artist Logic and his music career appear to be at a crossroads, according to a new interview with TMZ. Over the weekend, Bobby Tarantino told the outlet he plans to create music similar to Playboi Carti due to the poor sales of his latest music. In August, he released his ninth album, Ultra 85, to 18k in first-week sales. It marks the rapper’s lowest debut yet. 

Logic is known for his rapid conscious rap style, which the new album includes but doesn’t resonate with modern rap. On his way to Detroit, he told TMZ, “I’ve been on a run of doing super hip-hop music, but that stuff doesn’t pay the bills.” He decided to rap like Playboi Carti because the Whole Lotta Red creator is one of the biggest names in today’s hip-hop. Logic said: “I made my money doing pop and turn-up tracks, and I’ve been lucky to make music from my heart. But next year, I’m about to drop all this Carti-style trap and have some fun. It’s okay to make money, too.”

Logic Says His Raps Aren’t Making Money Like Playboi Carti 

Logic has had a busy schedule lately, including a massive 2022 tour with Wiz Khalifa. Between album releases and touring, the rap star has faced off against multiple personal issues with his family and critics. He has frequently been attacked for his ethnicity as a mixed-race rapper and bars. Throughout the drama, he collaborated with icons like Eminem, Gucci Mane, and Lil Wayne. He announced his retirement, which turned into a year hiatus, in 2021.

Logic signed with Def Jam in 2013 and released his debut album, Under Pressure, in 2014. During his tenure with the legendary record label, he released seven albums, three of which reached number one on the Billboard 200 chart. He has produced 20 Hot 100 singles, including the massive hits “Everybody,” “Homicide,” and “1-800-273-8255.” 1-800-273-8255, a song about suicide prevention, achieved eight-time platinum by the RIAA. Logic signed a massive distribution deal with BMG in 2022 after leaving Def Jam for independence.

Logic Will Release Playboi Carti-Inspired Music Moving Forward, Because ‘Super’ Hip-Hop Songs Don’t ‘Pay The Bills’

by

Back in August, Logic released his latest album, Ultra 85. Well, if you were a fan of the “Therapy Music” rapper’s sonic direction you’re in for a rude awakening.

During a recent run-in with TMZ, Logic announced that he further releases will draw inspiration from Playboi Carti. Typically, this would be seen as a compliment, as Carti has been a go-to collaborator, Logic’s reasoning came off as a subtle jab at his sound.

“What I’ve noticed is I’ve been on a run of making super hip-hop music and that sh*t doesn’t pay the bills,” he said. “It’s because I made all my money before doing pop and turn-up sh*t, and I’ve been blessed enough to be in a position to make music from my heart. Next year, Imma f*ck em up. I’m about to drop all this, like, Playboi Carti trap, turn-up sh*t and go get a bag and have fun.”

Although Playboi Carti hasn’t responded to Logic’s remarks, users online did not hold back.

“‘My music isn’t working, so I’m going to entirely copy this other grown man.’ How pathetic,” wrote one user on X (formerly Twitter).

“Sounds interesting and sad at the same time,” penned another.

“This sounds like a threat not an announcement,” added another.

Ola Runt Responds To Playboi Carti’s 2020 Diss Song After Prison Release

by

Ola Runt and Playboi Carti do not get along. The two rappers have been going at one another for years. Playboi Carti went as far as to aim a diss track at Ola Runt on his 2020 album, Whole Lotta Red. The diss was titled “Stop Breathing,” but Runt was already behind bars by the time it dropped. Well, Runt was let out at the end of August, and he’s eager to pick the beef back up. He hopped on Instagram and made it very clear that he has a response track ready to go. He previewed the song in a car, and leveled some aggressive threats at Playboi Carti.

Ola Runt’s diss is reportedly titled “All Dead.” The title seems to be riffing on Playboi Carti’s most recent single, “All Red.” Runt calls out the enigmatic Playboi Carti for failing to get his music played in his native Atlanta. “Whole Lotta Red,” Ola Runt raps. “How you say that’s music but the A don’t play it.” The rapper then goes after Carti’s masculinity. “P**sy n**ga you wearin’ thongs, I bet you shave your legs,” he adds. Ola Runt took things a step further by tagging Playboi Carti on Instagram. He also targeted Carti’s crew, Homixide Gang.

Ola Runt Claims Carti’s Music Doesn’t Get ATL Play

It was only a matter of time before Ola Runt responded to “Stop Breathing.” Playboi Carti’s 2020 song was a scathing diss that went after Runt’s Henchmen crew. Bars like “I got n**gas in chain gang on my side” and “I had the n**gas shank Ola for a pie” made it clear Carti wasn’t playing around. The conflict between these two men stem from the death of Carti’s friend Bigg Sosa. It’s widely believed that Runt’s crew was responsible for Sosa’s death in 2023. “Ever since my brother died (Died, what? What? Yeah),” Carti added on the song. “I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout homicide.”

Tyler, The Creator And ScHoolboy Q Reunite For “Thought I Was Dead”

by

We knew Tyler, The Creator had bars on “Thought I Was Dead.” The rapper dropped a music video for the song a few days before its official release, but only a fragment of the song was included. Now that the full CHROMAKOPIA album has arrived, we have the full song. And it delivers. “Thought I Was Dead” offers up one of the hardest instrumentals on the entire album, which is saying a lot. The song also gives fans a chance to bask in the Tyler, The Creator and ScHoolboy Q reunion we didn’t realize we needed.

CHROMAKOPIA is, in many ways, the culmination of Tyler, The Creator’s sound. It includes pieces of all his previous albums. “Thought I Was Dead” is a throwback to the aggressive, clipped bangers that were all over 2015’s Cherry Bomb. The beat is wonky and horn-led, while the busy drum pattern breaks up the rapper’s bassy delivery. The chorus is simple and catchy. ScHoolboy Q, who also popped up on a stellar Cherry Bomb cut, brings his typical hybrid of menace and energy to the table. He’s the perfect rapper to get on a beat this bizarre. If you pick up the vinyl version of CHROMAKOPIA, then “Thought I Was Dead” also has a guest verse from Playboi Carti. If that’s not incentive, we don’t know what is.

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Playboi Carti Has A Feature On Tyler, The Creator’s “Chromakopia,” But There’s A Twist

by

Tyler, The Creator fans are thriving right now as he has just come by with CHROMAKOPIA earlier this morning. The 14-track album features loads of talent such as ScHoolboy Q, Sexyy Red, GloRilla, Teezo Touchdown, Childish Gambino, and more. However, there is one other big-ticket guest that has fans talking. Tyler, The Creator and Playboi Carti have had some big hits before such as “Telephone Calls” and a hidden appearance on “EARFQUAKE” off of IGOR. Overall, though, it’s been a little while since we have heard these two together as both artists are always changing the sounds and approaches to their respective material.

But on CHROMAKOPIA the dry spell has ended… sort of. Right now, there is a snippet from the vinyl version, better known as the (TEST PRESSING VERSION). On the 11th cut “THOUGHT I WAS DEAD,” the DSP version of the seventh studio project contains a feature from ScHoolboy Q. But on this exclusive physical copy, fans will be treated to some Carti vocals instead. So, yes, you need the (TEST PRESSING VERSION) which now officially sold out. It was available for $30.00 USD.

You Need The “Chromakopia” Vinyl To Get The Exclusive Carti Feature

In terms of how fans are feeling about this, the reactions are all over the place. Some people are confused and upset. “Nah that’s crazy that’s so fire it should’ve been on the main album.” “Shit was so good why scrap the features mannn.” However, there are others are fine with it being on the vinyl only. “The song was better without him.” Then, there are people in the middle who appreciate Tyler for making buying physical versions worth it. “Tyler is making buying physicals fun again.” For those who got their hands on the special edition, we envy you!

What are your thoughts on Tyler, The Creator only including the Playboi Carti feature on the CHROMAKOPIA vinyl? Does this make you want to buy a physical copy even more or less? Is this the best feature on the album? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Tyler, The Creator and Playboi Carti. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
