I (almost) Guessed Playboi Carti’s Album Release Correctly

What’s poppin y’all,

It looks like I was right. If you guys recall, a week or two ago, I posted that A$AP Rocky and Playboi Carti were both going to be headlining Rolling Loud, and we could guarantee that there would be announcements surrounding their album drops at that time.

Before this, there were rumors about Rocky blocking Carti’s release, or someone in that realm saying he wasn’t allowed to drop. A lot of people were confused about what was happening. But now, Carti himself is saying he’s dropping this Friday.

Will it actually happen? Who knows. It could just be a single, but there’s also a real possibility that he’s dropping the full album. If that’s the case, by Sunday, he’ll likely be performing new songs at Rolling Loud LA, just like he did before.

If you remember, his last Rolling Loud LA performance was one of his most hyped shows—whether that was last year or the year before, I don’t remember exactly. But it was a moment. And with this upcoming Rolling Loud headlining set, history might repeat itself.

Regardless, this is great news for hip-hop. Carti has one of the most unique fanbases, blending hip-hop with an alternative, almost punk-inspired following. So, it’ll be interesting to see how he evolves his sound this time around.

Let’s see if he actually delivers this Friday.
