The embattled rapper produced Carti's "Backdoor" featuring the "Not Like Us" artist on I Am Music.

After years of speculation, leaks, and cryptic teases, Playboi Carti surprised fans this past Friday with the long-awaited album Music. The artist clearly wasn’t wasting time in the studio—this project spans 30 tracks with a total runtime of 76 minutes.

Playboi Carti’s newly released album MUSIC has broken Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day record for 2025 so far. “Carti’s MUSIC is already making history,” Spotify said in a post on X/Twitter announcing the stat.

Playboi Carti‘s new album is off to a strong start on streaming platforms. Following its release on Friday (March 14), the Atlanta rapper's long-awaited third studio album, MUSIC, became Spotify's most-streamed album in a single day in 2025 so far.

After years of anticipation, and weeks of hype, Playboi Carti's third album "Music" finally arrived. It is the rapper's first album since "Whole Lotta Red" came out in 2020. In the world of hip hop, that's a pretty lengthy space between albums.
