Listen "Did Playboi Carti's 'MUSIC' Live Up To The Hype?"
Episode Synopsis
Mate, after all the waiting and delays, Playboi Carti finally dropped "Music," or "I Am Music," or whatever he's calling it today. Honestly, who else could get away with a tracklist stretching 30 songs long, flipping moods from the chaotic energy of "Pop Out" straight into a gospel choir chanting “shawty gon' let me crush” on "Crush"? Carti manages to squeeze in features from Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Future, and even reunites with Lil Uzi Vert on "Jumpin," but still somehow leaves out his Opium crew mates, Ken Carson and Destroy Lonely—poor lads probably wondering why they didn’t get an invite. Tracks like "Charge Dem Hoes a Fee" and "Backd00r" showcase Carti bouncing effortlessly between mainstream radio hits and experimental chaos, proving once again he’s impossible to predict, always finding new ways to stir things up.
