After the immense success of his second studio album, ‘Whole Lotta Red,’ released four years ago, Playboi Carti quickly began teasing new music within just three months. However, his anticipated third studio album has experienced numerous changes in title and several delays. Over the years, Carti’s plans for the album have shifted, causing growing frustration among his fans. Yet, a recent clue has led fans to firmly believe that the long-awaited album is on the way and might be released sooner than expected.

GoodAssSub recently posted a screenshot on X revealing that the label responsible for Playboi Carti's upcoming album, tentatively titled ‘Music’ or ‘I Am Music’ has aimed for a September 13 release date, coinciding with Carti’s birthday. The label has reportedly even paid fan pages to promote the album likewise. However, there has been little recent activity from the label regarding this release. Despite this, fans trust the source because of its history of reliable insider information about Ye (formerly Kanye West).
