Playboi Carti Shares Details About Upcoming Album in New Interview
Written by SOURCE on April 12, 2022
Playboi Carti is naming his next album Music, and in a new interview with XXL, he explained why.
During his wide-ranging discussion with Vanessa Satten, King Vamp opened up about his relationship with Kanye West, his cult following, and the forthcoming Whole Lotta Red follow-up.
“I was about to name my album Music because that’s where I’m at, you know what I’m saying? Music,” he said. “Music because that’s all it is at this point.”
When Satten asked how he feels about his fans pointing to his vocal delivery as a “baby voice,” Carti didn’t seem to be offended by the language, revealing, “I don’t know. I don’t judge. I can’t get mad at my fans for saying baby voice.” And for the album itself, Carti said he has plenty of subject matters he’s going to dive into.
“Love. Sex. Drugs. Changes in my life,” he said. “I’ve been rapping about going to rehab. I want to go to rehab because I think I’m bipolar. I want everybody to feel free. I want this album to make everyone feel free. I hope this album brings peace to the world, honestly. I’m in love with what I’m doing. Like I told you, you can’t put a genre alternative [on me]. My little brother told me that all the time.”
That’s not the only project from Carti that fans have their eyes on either, as the MC also shared that his long-awaited joint effort with Lil Uzi Vert, who he loves “to death,” could have a future.
“Uzi is working on mad music right now,” Carti shared. “I don’t know if he’s serious about a lot of things. But I hope one day we can change the world with that, for sure.”
As for his personal life, Carti—who used the interview to describe himself as “adorable but evil”—showed love to his family, as well as Iggy Azalea, the mother of his son Onyx.
“She’s a great mom,” he said. “I love her to death. I’m single. She’s single now. But that’s one of the best mothers in the world. And that’s what you got to put in the book, you hear me? I love her to death. She is the best mother in the world.
