Playboi Carti's long-anticipated third album, "MUSIC," is a 30-track exploration that combines all of his creative impulses, both positive and negative. Since moving away from his underground roots in Atlanta, Carti has carved out a distinct identity in the mainstream hip-hop scene. The album, blending influences from various music eras, reflects Carti's evolution as an artist while embracing his role as a modern Atlanta rap torchbearer. "MUSIC" is rich with self-indulgence, filled with guest features and showcasing both nostalgia and contemporary hip-hop trends.
Carti's long-awaited third official album synthesizes all of his impulses—good and bad—into a 30-track flood that celebrates his status in modern Atlanta rap.
Rather than undergo another reinvention, Carti showcases a self-indulgent project that synthesizes various musical influences into a dizzying experience.
MUSIC reveals Carti's duality as both an inspired hip-hop figure and a transactional businessman, merging nostalgia with modern hip-hop aesthetics.
Listeners may find the album either a vibrant mixtape experience or a bloated collection of commercial motivations and star collaborations.
