Music (Playboi Carti album)

Music (also referred to as I Am Music, both stylized in all caps) is the third studio album by the American rapper Playboi Carti. It was released on March 14, 2025, through AWGE and Interscope Records. A trap album, Music is characterized as an evolution in Carti's musical sound, demonstrating a shift from the "baby voice" style used on his previous album Whole Lotta Red (2020), instead utilizing a deeper, raspier tone, while maintaining its early 2000s Atlanta-mixtape sound.

On March 9, 2025, Carti announced that work on Music had been completed after years of development hell. Shortly after, on March 12, he confirmed the album's release date as March 14, 2025, following a series of teasers by Spotify. The album consists of 30 tracks and features guest appearances from Travis Scott, the Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, Jhené Aiko, Skepta, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Ty Dolla Sign, and Young Thug, as well as hosting from DJ Swamp Izzo. Production was primarily handled by Ojivolta, Cardo and F1lthy, alongside a host of other producers, including Bnyx, Maaly Raw, Metro Boomin, Wheezy and various 808 Mafia members, including TM88 and Southside.

Music received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised the production and Carti's vocal performances, though some criticized its inconsistency and runtime. Music topped several charts worldwide, and debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200. It earned 298,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, becoming Carti's second number-one and his fastest-selling album. It was supported by the single "Rather Lie", featuring the Weeknd. A deluxe edition of the album, titled Music - Sorry 4 Da Wait, was released on March 25, 2025, featuring four additional tracks.
