Playboi Carti Clarifies Controversial Album Cover

by

There are far too many questions about Playboi Carti’s upcoming album I AM MUSIC right now, which we’re sure will all be answered by at least 2076. Jokes aside, even though we don’t know much about the release date, this official rollout has fans feeling quite hopeful. But it doesn’t help that Carti’s social media posts on his Instagram page have sometimes given fans the wrong idea. For example, he posted what seemed to be the cover art for the new project on IG, captioning it with all the usual promo stuff. As you will notice immediately in the post below, this artwork is an homage to Lil Wayne’s Dedication mixtape series.

However, Playboi Carti clarified via his Instagram Story this weekend that this cover art is not the official artwork for I AM MUSIC. Most fans exhaled a sigh of relief at this, as they preferred an original concept or just something that was more aesthetically pleasing. Either way, they’re happy to bump the new single “ALL RED” and eagerly await what’s to come. Still, this Lil Wayne connection arrived at an interesting time…

Playboi Carti’s Dedication Homage Isn’t The Official I AM MUSIC Cover

If you’re reading this from under a rock, Lil Wayne was at the center of controversy when Kendrick Lamar announced his Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans next year. Many feel like Weezy deserved it instead since he’s actually from the city, but he admitted that he set himself up for disappointment with the illusion of the opportunity. As such, fans feel pretty split about it, especially with K.Dot’s Drake battle in the background and the complex history between the Roc and Cash Money. Maybe Playboi Carti subtly offered his take on this whole thing, or this is just a perfectly timed coincidence.

Meanwhile, Playboi Carti recently responded to Adin Ross’ positive reaction to his new song “ALL RED.” “@adinross YOU AINT GOT TO LIKE ME BUT I RESPECT YOU KEEPING IT REAL ABOUT MY MUSIC SOME S**T JUST UNDENIABLE,” he wrote as the caption to a screenshot of Ross’ recent livestream. Let’s see if the official album cover for I AM MUSIC – whenever it drops – is also undeniable.

Playboi Carti Responds To Adin Ross’ Reaction To His New Song “ALL RED”

by

Playboi Carti and Adin Ross have a pretty complicated relationship these days. This is because of their disastrous livestream from back in February that allegedly cost the streamer $2 million for just about ten minutes of very limited conversation with the Atlanta creative. Since then, Ross hasn’t been very pro-Carti. That being said, feelings change over time, and the new hype behind his I AM MUSIC album rollout could change this dynamic somewhat. Moreover, the Kick giant’s reaction to the new track “ALL RED” shows that he can separate his personal experiences with the artist from his enjoyment of the music itself.

“Nah, this s**t hard, though,” Adin Ross said at one point of his recent livestream, and Playboi Carti even responded to this via his Instagram account. “@adinross YOU AINT GOT TO LIKE ME BUT I RESPECT YOU KEEPING IT REAL ABOUT MY MUSIC SOME S**T JUST UNDENIABLE,” he captioned a post of a screenshot of Ross’ stream. Carti’s new track wasn’t as well received by everyone, though, but the social media personality’s short words on the subject actually sum up the general consensus quite well.

Playboi Carti Respects Adin Ross’ “ALL RED” Reaction

However, “ALL RED” also resulted in some legitimate confusion, albeit mostly critical comparisons. Fans couldn’t tell whether or not this was a new Playboi Carti song or a new Future track, pointing out the vocal and flow similarities between both rappers. Carti’s usually someone who pulls from his own unique arsenal of voices, but this deep-voiced experimentation might be his riskiest vocal move yet. Either way, there are plenty of other fans who love this style and how it’s evolved from early displays like “FE!N.” Actually, it’s wild to think how little time it took for this to become a trademark sound in the King Vamp catalog.

Nevertheless, if you still feel like he sounds like Future, we understand. Regardless, Adin Ross’ reaction to “ALL RED” shows that things don’t always have to stay personal, resulting in mutual respect. Elsewhere, Playboi Carti also hyped up more collaborations with Kanye West on I AM MUSIC (or just MUSIC? We’ll find out…). There’s a lot to express excitement over these days, so let’s just be patient for what’s to come.

Playboi Carti is back… For now. Of course, it’s entirely possible that this whole rollout hype ends up being a false flag, but we’d rather keep our optimism while we can. As such, many fans are more excited than ever for the confirmed release of his new album, I AM MUSIC (or just MUSIC? We’ll see…). This became especially true after the Atlanta rage star hinted at more Kanye West collabs on this next project. “@ye KANT WAIT 2 SHOW THE WORLD WHAT WE BEEN WORKING ON WIT DIS ALBUM WE DA REAL 5L NO DOUBT,” he shared on his Instagram Story on Friday (September 13), which is coincidentally Carti’s birthday. Happy trip around the sun!

However, just as many fans are skeptical due to Ye’s shoddy releases as of late. But the two have a relatively extensive collaborative history dating back to the Chicago artist’s executive production on Playboi Carti’s Whole Lotta Red and feature on its track “Go2DaMoon.” Almost everything else has been on Kanye West albums: “Off The Grid” and “Junya” off Donda, “Mr. Miyagi” off Donda 2, “FUK SUMN” and “CARNIVAL” off VULTURES 1, “FIELD TRIP” off VULTURES 2, and Ye’s production on Carti’s “2024.” Another reason for skepticism, though, concerns Carti’s new single “ALL RED.”

Playboi Carti & Kanye West Have More On The Way

Furthermore, many fans think that Playboi Carti emulated Future too much on this new song, even if they’re grateful that he finally seems to be kicking his next era into full gear. We’ll see what the next step is in this process. Elsewhere, he also put up pre-orders for box sets of the new album, which you can pair with a hoodie, a T-shirt, or a hat. As far as a release date or anything like that, everyone is still in the dark.

According to the Opium boss’ website, these pre-orders will ship no later than six months after September 12, so that’s at least one indication suggesting that the latest we could get the LP is around March or April of next year. Hopefully, it’s sooner… Regardless of all this, there is one other Playboi Carti collab on the horizon that definitely has fans more excited. He recently was a special guest at The Weeknd’s São Paulo show to debut a new song together.

Playboi Carti Announces New Album 'MUSIC' and Releases Single "ALL RED"

Genre-defying rapper Playboi Carti has officially announced his highly anticipated new album, MUSIC. Alongside the announcement, Carti has dropped a new single titled “ALL RED,” produced by F1LTHY and OjiVolta.

Anticipation for Carti’s fourth studio album has been growing since his 2020 release of Whole Lotta Red, which became his first #1 album on the Billboard 200 and has since garnered over 9.4 billion streams. The buzz around MUSIC has been further fueled by Carti’s recent successful collaborations, including “Type Shit” with Travis Scott, Future, and Metro Boomin, “I LUV IT” with Camila Cabello, and “CARNIVAL” with Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, and Rich the Kid.

Earlier this summer, Carti headlined major festivals such as Lyrical Lemonade in Chicago, Rolling Loud Europe, and Openair Frauenfeld, debuting new tracks like “EVILJORDAN,” “KETAMINE,” “Different Day,” and “BACKR00MS” ft. Travis Scott. “BACKR00MS” and “2024” videos have already amassed 82 million combined views.

This past weekend, Carti performed with The Weeknd in Sao Paulo, Brazil, showcasing a new collaboration. He also performed his 2023 hit “FE!N” with Travis Scott. Recently featured on Billboard’s R&B Hip-Hop Power Players 2024 issue, Carti received the Artist of the Year Award.

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

by

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.

Playboi Carti’s Future Impersonation Has Fans In A Bind

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.

More Tweets

What are your thoughts on fans saying Playboi Carti is sounding like Future on his new single “ALL RED”? Do you think this is a good direction for him to go in for I AM MUSIC, why or why not? Does this dampen your previous expectations after hearing the track? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Playboi Carti Makes A Triumphant Comeback With “All Red” Single

by

It’s actually here. Playboi Carti first teased “All Red” on April 5, 2023. It’s been performed live at Summer Smash Chicago, and leaked online in various forms. Carti likes to take his time, though, and it reached a point where fans questioned if they’d ever get an official release of the song. The wait is over, though. “All Red” has been released as the first single Playboi Carti’s upcoming album, MUSIC, and it’s a true pleasure to hear a CDQ, mastered version. The beat has the typical ferocious bounce of a rage-heavy Carti song. The guitar flourishes really pop amidst the driving drum pattern, but truthfully, the synths prove to be the most crucial ingredient.

Musically, at least. It should go without saying that Playboi Carti’s vocals are the real highlight on “All Red.” The single marks the official introduction of the rapper’s deeper-voiced register. Fans have spent so much time the “baby voice” Carti that it will definitely be jarring to hear him go in a different direction, and pull out a more menacing rap flow. It’s unmistakably Playboi Carti, but its bold and adventurous in ways that most other rappers wouldn’t attempt. There have been dozens of MUSIC leaks in the last few years, but it really does make a difference when Carti is actively dropping songs and presenting fans with a coherent vision. “All Red” is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to see where the rest of the album goes.

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 Wreaks Havoc On His Hypnotic New Single, ‘All Red’

by

After becoming the music business’ go-to call for a hit single feature, the time is ripe for Playboi Carti to finally come through with his long-awaited, oft-delayed album, Music. In typical Carti fashion, the self-declared King Vamp hasn’t given fans much to go on, let alone a solid album release date, but he did offer hope in the form of a new single, “All Red.”

In addition to trading in the high-pitched, squeaky voice we’ve heard him employ on a number of releases for a deeper-voiced, Future-esque flow, “All Red” is also the first official release to streaming services Carti’s shared since 2020’s Whole Lotta Red. Like many of Carti’s tracks, it was first teased through snippets on social media, although he did perform the song in full during his headlining set at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash in Chicago in June.

Carti’s new flow pairs with his usual approach to wordplay, lending “All Red” a menacing, but playful vibe. It’s certainly a good sign for Music that Carti appears to be fully motivated and actually dropping new music again.

However, just because he wasn’t officially releasing music doesn’t mean we hadn’t heard from him lately. In August, he was featured alongside Drake on the leaked track “No Face,” which still has yet to see an official release as well.

Listen to Playboi Carti’s “All Red” above.

Playboi Carti Announces New Album “MUSIC” And Teases Release Date

by

There’s a Twitter meme that circulates whenever new Playboi Carti music is teased. Or rather, when new Playboi Carti music fails to be released. “One day,” the tweet reads. “Carti will release an empty CD and tell his fans to imagine the music. They’ll be like ‘I hear it.’” The rapper didn’t drop an empty CD, much to the benefit of everyone. He kind of did the announcement equivalent, though. He told fans to expect an enormous announcement at 9:30 pm ET on September 12. They did, and what they got was info they’d already had.

Playboi Carti announced that his next album will be titled MUSIC. He confirmed that the album will be coming out very soon. He also dropped pre-order links for the box sets that will come with the album. “Album release date to be announced,” Carti’s statement read. “Digital album will be available near the release date, no later than six months from April 18th, 2025.” So, basically, fans got confirmation on the fact that Playboi Carti is dropping an album soon. The album was already being listed as MUSIC on the rapper’s Genius page. He made an announcement for a release date announcement in the future…

Playboi Carti Confirmed That A Release Date Is Imminent

It could be worse, of course. Playboi Carti could have said nothing, and not provided any updates. That said, fans weren’t thrilled. We detailed some of the most disappointed reactions here. Adin Ross, who’s had his complications with Carti in the past, commented on the rapper’s Instagram announcement. He voiced what a lot of fans were feeling after the pre-order pump fake. “Can I have my money back,” Ross wrote.

There is good news for Playboi Carti fans, though. The rapper may have built things up and let fans down with his album announcement, but his lead single, “All Red,” is dropping September 13. “All Red” was first teased in 2023, so it’s been a long, long time coming. The release will not kick off the official MUSIC era for fans, but it will provide a proper introduction for the deeper voiced Carti that we’ve all been curious to hear more from.

He really had fans going there for a second. Playboi Carti set the music world on fire for a couple hours on September 12. He dropped a link teasing a major announcement at 9:30 pm ET. Immediately, the fans went wild with theories. Is Playboi Carti finally dropping a single? Could he be dropping a release date for the new album? Maybe even the album itself! The possibilities were endless. Then 9:30 rolled around, and we discovered what the announcement was.

Playboi Carti decided to release box sets to accompany his unreleased album. Well, scratch that. He released pre-order links for the box sets for the unreleased album. One of them comes with a hoodie, another comes with a t-short, the last one with a hat. All three pieces of clothing have the logo for his upcoming album, MUSIC, emblazoned on them. It’s not a bad thing in a vacuum, but Playboi Carti had everybody scrambling for something big. The hype leading up to the announcement did not meet the announcement itself. Fans were not happy.

Playboi Carti Teased An Impending Release Date

The meme machine was swift and efficient. Carti fans fired up the old standbys, like comps of bricked shots and that one image of the guy applying clown makeup in the mirror. “F*ck you playboi carti and ur mysterious sh*t we all know ur just sum normal a*s mf fake as f*ck,” wrote one particularly angry Twitter user. Others were less aggressive, and simply tired of being given the runaround. “Playboi Carti. We are tired,” another user tweeted. “We are sick of this. Please give us what we want.”

There is some silver lining to be gleaned from the pre-order drop. Well, sort of. Playboi Carti issued a statement confirming that the release date for the album will be “announced soon.” An announcement for the announcement. Like we said, sort of. Fans don’t want to hear more promises from Carti right now, though. They want to vent their frustrations. Keep scrolling to read more social media reactions to the pump fake drop. Do you think Carti will eventually drop his album? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Southside Hints At New Playboi Carti Collab With Surprising IG Reunion

by

Playboi Carti is up to something. He always is, but it seems like he’s actually getting close to sharing what said something is with the fans. The world has been waiting on Carti’s third studio album since 2020, with very little to go on in terms of updates. All this has changed in the last month, though. The rapper known for being secretive started posting regularly on Instagram. He showed up to accept an award at a Billboard ceremony. And on September 10th, Carti made a rare appearance on Southside’s Instagram.

The two men seemingly linked up to celebrate Playboi Carti’s Billboard award. “My youngin won his first award,” the producer stated. “I’m overly proud of you kid.” It was the way Southside concluded his post, however, that really got fans excited. He hinted that there is plenty more Carti music coming in the near future. “Many more to come,” he teased. Very little is actually know about Playboi Carti’s upcoming album, but the notion of Carti and Southside linking up on said album is actually more novel than you might.

Southside & Playboi Carti Teased “More To Come”

Southside has known Playboi Carti for years, as his caption would suggest. The two collaborated on the 2018 song “Ain’t Doin’ That,” but their collab history has been surprisingly limited since. They had some musical camaraderie on their one song, but Southside has spent more time working with guys like Kodak Black and Future. The reunion photo between the producer and Playboi Carti could be just that, a photo of two artists reuniting, but it could also be a teaser for new songs. Especially when you take Southside’s caption into account.

Of course, it’s all subject to change. Playboi Carti has admitted that his recording process is not normal in any sense. The rapper recently told Billboard that he will live in the studio, and go more off of feel than anything else. “It’s all based on confidence. I believe in myself,” Carti explained. “The moment I started recording, someone came to me and said that they like my songs. I stay in the studio every day.” The fact that the rapper is making public statements at all is a good sign. Hopefully we get to to hear some new Carti and Southside sooner than later.
