Playboi Carti hops back on social media to drop a cryptic hint about new music. In doing so, he releases a snippet that’s barely a minute long, and sets the internet ablaze. Over the years, this has become his signature move, and fans can’t help but fall for it every time. On December 12th, Carti struck again! This time, teasing a new untitled song and leaving fans buzzing with questions—and hope—about his elusive I AM MUSIC album.
The snippet, only 41 seconds long, doesn’t disappoint. Featuring a soulful, gospel-infused sample, the track takes a refreshing turn from Carti’s usual rage-driven sound. It’s the kind of vibe you’d expect from a Kanye West production, and with West confirmed to be involved in I AM MUSIC, it’s not hard to imagine his fingerprints on this snippet. The combination of Carti’s unmistakable energy and the uplifting, choir-like backdrop feels both unexpected and thrilling.
As if the sound wasn’t enough to stir speculation, Carti attached a striking visual to the snippet. The video concludes with a striking white graphic displayed with the words I AM MUSIC. Fans have been familiar with this album title since it first surfaced in 2021, but this marks the first time it’s been directly linked to a song teaser. Naturally, social media exploded with theories: Does this mean the album is finally coming? Will this track make the final cut? We will just have to wait and see!
Playboi Carti’s ability to build hype is unmatched. From Future-inspired vibes on “ALL RED” to electro-pop experiments like “Timeless,” his recent sonic explorations have kept fans on their toes. This latest gospel-tinged offering feels like another bold evolution for the Atlanta rapper. And yet, history has taught us one thing: patience is key when it comes to Carti. Despite Kanye West’s reported contributions and Carti’s cryptic teasers, both artists have a reputation for unpredictability.
For now, fans can savor the snippet and dream about what’s to come. Will I AM MUSIC finally see the light of day in 2024? Only time will tell. One thing’s for sure — Playboi Carti knows how to keep us guessing, and he’s a master of turning anticipation into an art form.
