At long last, Playboi Carti‘s MUSIC is finally here. The colossal 30 track LP arrived early Friday morning (March 14), and marks Carti’s first album in five years following the release of his equally-as-colossal Whole Lotta Red back in 2020. King Vamp’s cult followers have been ravenous for the project ever since he announced it back in 2023. Regardless, Carti kept the album shrouded in mystery this entire time. He offered a few glimpses of what fans could expect off the project following the release of his warm-up tracks “2024,” “H00DBYAIR,” “EVILJ0RDAN” and the Travis Scott-assisted “BACKR00MS” in 2024.
MUSIC was rumored to drop at the end of 2024 after Carti teased a handful of new tracks at xRolling Loud in December, but the elusive rap star continued to tease the album into the new year. Now, the wait is finally over. As newly satiated Carti fans begin to feast on the new tape, MUSIC also comes loaded with a handful of surprising and unique features, including three songs with Kendrick Lamar. Other blockbuster features include Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Skepta and of course Carti’s close friends Travis Scott and The Weeknd.
But to be featured on a Playboi Carti song is to step into his dark and menacing world. So out of all the friends Carti invited to his party, who sounded the most at home? The answer may surprise you, just like it surprised us. Check out Billboard‘s ranking of all of the guest features on Playboi Carti’s MUSIC below.
