Elusive Atlanta rapper Playboi Carti has once again dropped a sonic grenade in the form of his long-awaited album, “I AM MUSIC.” Carti, known for his experimental soundscapes and enigmatic persona, goes further into the abstract with this release. Today, he pushes the
boundaries of what we consider hip-hop.
The album is a dense, often bewildering, listen. Carti’s signature ad-libs and autotuned vocals are present, drowning in electronic sounds with a bass-heavy production. Tracks such as POP OUT and LIKE WEEZY are characterized by minimalism and aggression.
Still, “I AM MUSIC” has its share of critics. Some dislike the album’s experimentation,
calling out its lack of traditional song structures and its reliance on abstract soundscapes. However, Carti’s fans praise his ambition, calling the album a revolt against the norm.
Whether “I AM MUSIC” is a masterpiece or simply ahead of its time is yet to be determined. One thing is certain: Playboi Carti has defied expectations once again, and his fans are far from disappointed. The album’s impact on the music world today will be watched closely as his influence continues to grow.
