After an hours-long delay, Plaiboi Carti dropped 'Music,' his third album, on Friday. It’s been a long wait — made longer after missing the typical midnight release time for a new album — but after more than four years, Playboi Carti has finally dropped his latest album.

Playboi Carti's new album, simply titled Music, is finally here. With a whopping 30 tracks, it's proven to be a bountiful feast for Carti fans who have been clamoring for new music since he began teasing Music at the end of 2023.

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.

Playboi Carti has been playing hard-to-get for years. He’s been teasing a new album without releasing it. He’s been putting new tracks up on YouTube or Instagram but not the streaming services. He’s gone four years without a full-length statement.
