Playboi Carti fans sat glued to their screens at 12 AM, waiting for "I AM MUSIC" to drop, only to be met with total silence. No album, no notice, just heartbreak.

Music is finally here. Music took about four and a half years to materialize, and Playboi Carti matches the long wait with his longest, most wide-ranging album—a nearly 77-minute record that boasts blockbuster features and makes official several fan-favorite snippets.

Fans can pre-order I Am Music for $9.99 on Carti’s website and promises to be made available this month according to the disclaimer made available under the “Add to Cart” widget. “Album release date to be announced,” the disclaimer reads. Digital album will be available near the release date, no later than six months from September 12, 2024.”
