The iconic Playboi Carti – real name Jordan Terrell Carte – is slated to return with new music. Carti, a marquee cult figure of modern rap, teased and seemingly confirmed new music. “love all my supporters it’s time” the rapper tweeted earlier today.
Further, Carti shared an iPhone screenshot with three productions. Titled 140 (presentation) F1LGL.mp3, 144 (voltorb flip) F1LGLM.mp3 and 144 (firstangel) F1LGL.mp3, the tracks, if released, will be Carti’s first pieces of music in two years.
The ‘Die Lit’ rapper released his sophomore LP ‘Whole Lotta Red’ which turned him into a worldwide hip-hop superstar. Released on December 25th 2020, the 24-track effort featured guest appearances from Kanye West, Kid Cudi and Future and debuted at number one on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart that year.
Earlier in November, the ENTERGALACTIC emcee Kid Cudi previewed a collaborative effort with Carti at the Zénith Paris – La Villette in France.
“Since 2020, I have been recording a new album. When I dropped Man on the Moon III, I hit the studio and was just f***** around with some vibes, gettin’ into the groove and I don’t know when I’m gonna release my next album, I really don’t. But I do know what’s gonna happen and before then, I wanna kind of just give you guys some s***. Release some songs, get the vibes out there you know. and this is one song I have been sitting on for a while. It features my brother Playboi Carti,” Cudi said amidst his live set in Paris.
As per many, the record will be titled ‘Solo Dolo Pt. 4’ serving as the follow-up to Kid Cudi’s ‘Solo Dolo III’ on Man On the Moon III: The Chosen.
While the release date and whether the upcoming project is an EP or a studio album are yet to be announced, Carti’s fans are hopeful that the ‘King Vamp’ is returning after over two years.
