Every Song From Playboi Carti’s ‘I Am Music’ Album Ranked: Critic’s Picks

King Vamp season has returned.

1,540 days after his influential sophomore Whole Lotta Red album landed on Christmas Day in 2020, Playboi Carti finally released his much-delayed and highly anticipated I Am Music album on Friday (March 14).

I Am Music hit streaming services in the morning with the Atlanta rapper sending out a tweet around 7:30 am ET with Spotify link attached after yet another postponement, which fans speculated to be tied to the blood moon eclipse. However, Carti didn’t seem too worried as he posted a clip on FaceTime with Justin Bieber to social media as he ate pasta on his Spotify billion-stream plaque for “FE!N”.

The LP is loaded with star-studded features from the likes of Young Thug, Travis Scott, Future, Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, Lil Uzi Vert, Skepta and Ty Dolla $ign. While employing an impressive list of producers that included Cardo, Metro Boomin, Soutside, F1lthy, Ye, Cash Cobain, and production duo Ojivolta, among many others.

“[This album] is very important to me because I feel like I have something to prove,” he told Numéro Berlin in 2023. “This is my moment, this is the one for me. You know, this album right here is – I say this for everything, but – I think it’s going to be my best album because I’m just popping it. It starts with music. That’s it. As long as I got that, it’s up.”

He also told Billboard, “I want to make the people feel like they don’t know what is about to happen,” during a cover story profile and that’s exactly the feeling you’re going to get the first time you hit play.
