After 1,540 days of anticipation, Atlanta-based rapper Playboi Carti has unleashed his third studio album MUSIC to eager fans worldwide. The 30-track collection arrived in the early hours of March 14, landing at approximately 7:30 a.m. EST following several frustrating delays that tested the patience of his dedicated following.

He appears on three songs: "MOJO JOJO," "BACKD00R," and “GOOD CREDIT.” On the first two tracks, he mostly plays the role of hype man, adding adlibs to energize his “evil twin.” (He starts off “MOJO JOJO,” saying: “I need that Back to the Future Carti. I need that four Alien Carti. I need that beep, beep, beep, beep, extra-terrestrial Carti.”)

Playboi Carti’s newly released album MUSIC has broken Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day record for 2025 so far. “Carti’s MUSIC is already making history,” Spotify said in a post on X/Twitter announcing the stat.

Music is finally here. Music took about four and a half years to materialize, and Playboi Carti matches the long wait with his longest, most wide-ranging album—a nearly 77-minute record that boasts blockbuster features and makes official several fan-favorite snippets.

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.

After years of speculation, leaks, and cryptic teases, Playboi Carti surprised fans this past Friday with the long-awaited album Music. The artist clearly wasn’t wasting time in the studio—this project spans 30 tracks with a total runtime of 76 minutes.

After years of anticipation, and weeks of hype, Playboi Carti's third album "Music" finally arrived. It is the rapper's first album since "Whole Lotta Red" came out in 2020. In the world of hip hop, that's a pretty lengthy space between albums.
