Playboi Carti Might Drop Something Tonight, Swamp Izzo Claims In Response To DJ Akademiks’ Doubts

by

“Imma have to go find Playboi Carti again….” DJ Akademiks complained on Twitter over the weekend about the rapper’s mysterious absence despite multiple non-streaming singles in the past few months. “Last thing that n***a told me was ‘2024’ music … its half way thru the year …its finna be 2025 soon. they gave me two dates that dey aint stick to lol.” However, DJ Swamp Izzo came through in the comments of Ak’s IG repost of this tweet, and for those unaware, he’s apparently working closely with the Atlanta MC these days, even appearing on his track “Evil Jordan.” First, he posted a “soon” emoji, and then another comment that read “Fuk it TONIGHT,” lining up with Carti’s Summer Smash festival performance in Chicago tonight (Saturday, June 15).

Of course, we don’t really know what this means, nor whether or not Playboi Carti will actually drop something or just perform at the festival. Maybe he’ll finally give a date for the next release, put the whole thing out and shock the world, or the most likely scenario: nothing happens. After all, “King Vamp” is notoriously inconsistent when it comes to his presence, his promises, and his releases, although some recent hints and teases have fans’ hopes up again. We’ve got a couple of hours to theorize and prepare if you’re reading this soon after publishing.

DJ Swamp Izzo Suggests Playboi Carti Could Be Back Tonight

Meanwhile, Playboi Carti is also making the online rounds for less concerning and more bizarre reasons that seem out of nowhere. One of these is the animosity that metalcore artist Ronnie Radke has continuously shown him online over a merch dispute and more grievances. Knowing Carti’s online tendencies, we can’t imagine he’s getting very fast responses. So in the end, Radke might unfortunately be as frustrated as fans waiting on a new album.

Still, “FE!N” remains a hot track, there’s still a lot of hype around Playboi Carti’s IG singles, and we doubt that we’ll finish 2024 with absolutely nothing more from him. All we have to be is patient, which definitely disappoints a lot of fans out there. After all, he’s so close to dropping something that most of his die-hard fanbase will absolutely eat up. But there must be a reason behind all this, and whether it’s a good or bad one, we’re in no position of power to speed things up.

We are just weeks away from Camila Cabello‘s fourth album, C,XOXO. Ahead of the album, Cabello has teased a new sound. She has released the Playboi Carti collab “I Luv It,” as well as the Lil Nas X-assisted “He Knows.” As the tracks indicate, Cabello is playing with more rhythmic, electronic, and dance-ready sounds.

C,XOXO is probably her most collab-heavy album, as revealed by the tracklist, which Cabello shared to social media today (June 12). In addition to the previously released Carti and Lil Nas X collabs, Drake will feature on the song “Hot Uptown” and the follow-up interlude, “Uuugly.” Fellow Miami natives JT and Yung Miami will also appear on the album, in the song “Dade County Dreaming.” It is worth noting that the once City Girls are listed simply as JT and Yung Miami on the tracklist, indicating that this could possibly be their last feature as a duo.

You can see the full tracklist below.

1. “I Luv It” feat. Playboi Carti
2. “Chanel No. 5”
3. “Pink XOXO”
4. “He Knows” Feat. Lil Nas X

Travis Scott & Playboi Carti’s “FE!N” Played At White House, Seems To Drown Out Protests

by

For some reason, the White House seemingly played Travis Scott and Playboi Carti’s “FE!N,” which rang all around the surrounding area of Lafayette Square, or at least, from what a recently surfaced video can gather. Given that you can hear a lot of commotion and what sounds like chants in the background, plus the “Free Gaza” message that is displayed in the video, conspiracy theories emerged that officials played music to quell protestors calling for the United States to advocate for a ceasefire in the Israel and Palestine conflict. Thousands gathered around the government building, and since this clip is from the nighttime, it’s unclear what the status of these protests were at the time.

In addition, it’s important to consider that the city of Washington, D.C. celebrated its annual Capital Pride events this weekend as well, so there was a lot going on in the city both indifferent to and against government action. We can’t confirm whether or not this was actually the case for Travis Scott and Playboi Carti’s “FE!N,” so take this interpretation with a grain of salt. What we do know is that the duo will both probably perform this song either together or separately at Chicago’s Summer Smash festival from Lyrical Lemonade next week. As one of the most explosive mainstream rap hits of the past year, it should make for a pretty cool moment.

Elsewhere, we’re sure that Travis Scott and Playboi Carti will continue to stretch “FE!N” out to its maximum potential and replay value. They’ve played it over and over again at concerts, gave SNL a nice rendition, performed it at the Grammys, and so much more. Hopefully this White House cameo is all a big misunderstanding. Using that track as a way to silence protestors would be an ugly evolution for it.

Meanwhile, if you are still in the D.C. area -– whether you’re protesting, celebrating Pride Month, or just going about your day -– we hope you stay safe and alert during this hectic time in the city. Keep fighting your good fight. If you’re just a Travis Scott and Playboi Carti fan excited about a White House shoutout, we’re sure that other collabs like this year’s “Type S**t” with Metro Boomin and Future have you fiending for another. We’ll see when’s the next time that the “Green & Purple” duo connect.

MC Lan Announces Release Date For New Playboi Carti Collab

by

Playboi Carti is one of the most enigmatic artists in hip-hop. It’s impossible to tell what he’s going to do next, and even tougher to gauge when he plans to drop new music. Most of the insight fans get is from Carti’s collaborators. This scarcity of information is what makes MC Lan’s recent interview so interesting. The Brazilian artist revealed that he’s been working closely with Playboi Carti over the last few months, and the two of them plan on releasing a joint single to coincide with the release of both of their albums.

MC Lan went on the FLOW Podcast on April 23, and covered a wide away of topics over four hours. The name drop that nobody mentioned, though, was Carti. MC Lan claimed that he’s been working with lots of U.S. talent, and the “Magnolia” rapper was at the top of his list. He went as far as to say that he’s done production work on Carti’s upcoming album. “There are many American artists out there,” he said. “Like the upcoming album from Playboi Carti. I can’t spill much but most of the albums, the ones I’m in touch with… I have a hand in it, I have a finger in it.”

Playboi Carti’s Collab Is Rumored For A May Release

MC Lan then stated that Carti will be appearing on his upcoming album in return. There was no word about a title or release date for the album, but he announced that their joint single will be dropping on May 23. Carti hasn’t commented on Lan’s claims, but then again, he usually has very little to say about release dates and concrete rollouts. He has, however, been teasing his upcoming album, titled MUSIC, since 2022.

The premise behind the title, according to Carti’s interview with XXL Magazine, is to push beyond genre conventions and mix in different styles. He doesn’t want to make hip-hop or rage music, he just wants to make music. “[I’ll] name my album MUSIC because that’s where I’m at,” he reasoned. “Because that’s all it is at this point.” Carti’s willingness to work with MC Lan, a pioneer in Brazilian funk music, displays this desire to experiment. Fans will find out soon enough whether Lan’s claims are legit.

Rolling Loud Unveils 2024 European Lineup And It’s Absolutely Stacked

by

Rolling Loud has become a festival institution despite being around for less than a decade. The event has put together consistently exciting lineups since it launched in 2015, and this year is only upping the ante. Rolling Loud is expanding to Europe, with the first ever European event set to take place in Ebreichsdorf, Austria. The production value and pedigree are to be expected, but the element that has most fans eager to buy tickets is the star-studded lineup. The fest is definitely opening with a bang.

The festival, which runs July 5-7, 2024, will be headlined by hip-hop superstars Travis Scott, Nicki Minaj and Playboi Carti. It doesn’t get bigger than these three, each of whom have had experience on a Rolling Loud stage previously. Scott, Minaj and Carti all performed at the California fest in 2023. Scott made his return to U.S. festivals on this Hollywood Park stage, following the tragic Astroworld incident, but only performed for a half hour due to technical difficulties. Playboi Carti, meanwhile, is a festival veteran. The “Magnolia” rapper has brought down the house repeatedly at Rolling Loud events in Miami, New York and Portugal.

The European Fest Will Be Headlined By Travis Scott

Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif, the co-founders of Rolling Loud, issued a statement following the European announcement. “We couldn’t be more excited to return to Europe,” they wrote. “We’ve been blown away by the passion of the fans at our European shows, and we know our first show in Austria is going to keep the energy going.”

The rest of the Rolling Loud Europe lineup is a veritable who’s who of hip-hop talent. Gunna, Ice Spice and Don Toliver are slated to perform, as well Ski Mask The Slump God and Offset. Other big names include Lil Tjay, Unknown, Flo Milli, BabyTron and Playboi Carti signee Destroy Lonely. Sexxy Red has become a massive pop star in the last year, which will make her appearance one of the most attended.

Red performed at the aforementioned Rolling Loud California, but she caught heat for her live singing online. The “SkeeYee” rapper will get another chance to prove herself as an elite performer before the Vienna audience. Tickets for Rolling Loud Europe will go up for sale April 12 at noon CET.

Beyond the headliners, the lineup also features Gunna, Ice Spice, Offset, Don Toliver, Ski Mask The Slump God, Lil Tjay, Sexyy Red, Chief Keef, K-Trap, Unknown T, Destroy Lonely, Flo Milli, BabyTron, TiaCorine, Anycia, Money Boy, Gola Gianni, Ufo 361, Shirin David, Pashanim, Reezy, Rondodasosa, and Fresh.

Camila Cabello Reveals That Part Of Her ‘I Luv It’ Video With Playboi Carti Wasn’t Part Of The Plan

by

Camila Cabello did a recent interview appearance on Power 106 Los Angeles, where she opened up about how part of the “I Luv It” music video wasn’t entirely planned.

As Playboi Carti appears in the video for their collab, he had been running late and they decided to film in a gas station.

“Something happened with his plane, it was, like, this whole insane… chaos with the video,” Cabello shared. “He got there after the music video was actually wrapped, so we had to find a place to film his part of the video.”

“We ended up paying the guy that worked at the gas station to let it stay open for us,” she added. “So [Carti] got there and my mom had the… video screen and was low-key kinda directing. We had to beg the crew to stay.”

Thankfully, it all worked out, even if things were a bit hectic in the moment. Carti and Cabello got along really well. She wound up getting him on a song simply by sending him a DM on Instagram. “I said, ‘Hey, butterfly,” she pointed out in a separate interview for Apple Music. “And then he said, ‘CC,’ and then I said, ‘Carti.’ It was really cute.”

Check out Cabello discussing the “I Luv It” music video backstory, which starts around the 6-minute mark, above.
