After five long years, Playboi Carti is back. His new album, titled MUSIC, dropped suddenly on March 14 and has already caused waves in the music world.
Carti, known for his unique voice and mysterious presence, had not released a full project since Whole Lotta Red in 2020. That album became a cult classic, changing the sound of rap and inspiring a new generation of artists. Fans waited impatiently for a follow-up, but Carti stayed quiet, offering only small hints and unreleased tracks scattered online.
MUSIC is a 30-track album that runs over 75 minutes. The sound stays close to what made Carti famous—unpredictable beats, strange flows, and wild energy—but also adds new elements.
Some songs feel familiar. Others feel completely new. The album features big names like Future, Travis Scott, The Weeknd, and Kendrick Lamar, but Carti’s style always stays front and center.
The project doesn’t explain where Carti has been or what he went through. Instead, it feels like a puzzle made of sound and mood. Songs like “Different Day” and “H00DBYAIR” show Carti’s wild creativity, blending nightmare-like lyrics with high-energy delivery. On “Mojo Jojo,” he raps with Kendrick Lamar in a way that almost makes Kendrick feel like part of Carti’s world.
While MUSIC might not hit as hard as Whole Lotta Red, it proves Carti is still ahead of the game. His voice remains one of the most exciting in modern music, even when he keeps fans guessing. The album doesn’t follow trends—it bends them.
Now, Carti is set to join The Weeknd on a global stadium tour, with solo shows and new merch likely on the way. Still, he remains as mysterious as ever. We may hear his voice and see his face, but the full picture of Playboi Carti is always just out of reach.
MUSIC may not give us all the answers, but it confirms one thing: Carti is back, and rap still can’t look away.
