Fans have been eagerly anticipating Playboi Carti’s new album, I AM MUSIC, and though a brief delay has kept them on their toes, the excitement is palpable following a recent announcement revealing the impressive lineup of featured artists. Initially promised at midnight EST, the album’s release was pushed back to 3 AM, and then further delayed to 7:30 AM. As a peace offering for the wait, Carti shared the names of some of the big names joining him on this project.
Among the eight artists featured on I AM MUSIC, Carti confirmed seven: Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert, Ty Dolla Sign, Skepta, Young Thug, and Future are all set to contribute their talents to the album. Additionally, The Weeknd, who previously collaborated with Carti on “Timeless,” will also make an appearance. With such a stellar lineup, expectations are sky-high for what these collaborations will sound like.
However, one name remains a mystery, leading to speculation that it could be none other than Kendrick Lamar. DJ Akademiks has hinted at Lamar’s involvement, suggesting that he may not only appear on the album but could also be throwing some shade at Drake. Furthermore, there were rumors that Lamar might be playing a significant role in the album’s creative direction. Despite these claims, Carti’s longtime producer, F1LTHY, has denied any claims of Lamar being involved in that capacity, insisting that I AM MUSIC is firmly Carti’s vision.
As the release date approaches, fans are left buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an unforgettable project filled with high-profile collaborations and unexpected twists. Playboi Carti’s I AM MUSIC is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about albums of the year.
