For 5 long years, fans have impatiently waited.
Weekly, fans had been anxiously refreshing their music app.
One Friday, when they refreshed, they saw the title “I Am Music”
American Rapper Playboi Carti released his anticipated third studio album “I am Music” on March 14.
The album includes 30 songs, making it 1 hour and 16 minutes.
11 days later, Carti released the deluxe version of the album, which added 4 more songs.
The songs are similar to his other music, having high energy and using beats to create flow and rhythm.
Some songs, such as “HBA” and “EVIL J0RDAN,” had already been leaked and were well-loved by fans.
This created excitement when they were dropped.
However, some new songs, such as ‘POP OUT,” are receiving hate for their repetitive and predictable nature.
Additionally, songs like “Good Credit” take a few listens to get into, but eventually, they will be on repeat.
Out of all the songs on the album, about 5 of them are original and include interesting beats and lyrics that are perfect for Carti’s listeners.
The rest of them, however, sound very similar and have been ignored.
There are many surprising features from other rappers, including Travis Scott, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, Future, and more.
Following the album’s release, it skyrocketed to the top of the Billboard 200 and earned millions of streams.
Overall, Carti’s new album met expectations in some ways, but fell through in others, especially for how long he worked on it.
“I am Music” can be streamed on Apple Music, Spotify, or any other music streaming service.
