Playboi Carti fans have waited years for his next album, I AM MUSIC. Now, it seems like he might have no choice but to drop it soon.
Merch Deadline Could Force the Album Release
In September 2024, Carti launched merch bundles on his website. These bundles included clothing, CDs, and vinyls. The website stated that all products would ship within six months. That deadline is March 12, 2025. If the merch does not ship by then, customers can request refunds.
This creates a problem. If Carti does not release the album before the deadline, he cannot include the album on the CDs and vinyls. This could mean losing millions of dollars in refunds. Because of this, fans believe Carti will drop I AM MUSIC before March 12.
Spotify Billboards Add to the Hype
Recently, new billboards for I AM MUSIC appeared in major U.S. cities like Los Angeles and Miami. These billboards were posted by Spotify, making them seem official. Many of Carti’s affiliates also shared them online, suggesting that the rollout has begun.
Two Possible Release Dates
Fans have speculated two possible release dates: February 28 or March 7. However, Lady Gaga is also releasing her album on March 7, and since both artists share the same label, it is unlikely they will drop on the same day. This makes February 28 the most likely release date.
Will the Album Really Drop?
Despite all the signs, some fans are skeptical. Carti has delayed projects before. His Narcissist album rollout included billboards and merch but never arrived. However, this time, his label could be forcing him to release I AM MUSIC to avoid refunds and legal issues.
For now, fans can only wait and see. If Carti does not drop the album by March 12, refunds will be available, and the hype may fade. Until then, the clock is ticking.
