Playboi Carti is riding high on the success of his latest album MUSIC, but already, he’s working on his next big project. During a recent interview with Complex, DJ Swamp Izzo confirmed that Carti’s highly anticipated album BABY BOI is officially complete. While the album doesn’t have a confirmed release date just yet, fans now know that the project is ready and awaiting its moment.
“Ready. Done,” Izzo said when asked about the status of BABY BOI. “New music. He got over 50, 60 songs done. Completed to his liking? I couldn’t say. But they’re done.”
Izzo also reflected on how the industry has changed since the mixtape era, joking that if this were 15 years ago, BABY BOI would have already seen multiple releases, similar to how mixtapes used to drop in rapid succession. “If I was still in that mixtape era, we’d have BABY BOI one through nine,” he added. Despite the album being finished, it appears that Carti’s fans may have to wait a bit longer for the official release, though their anticipation for the project remains high.
Unreleased Music: The Mystery Album from 2022
In addition to BABY BOI, Izzo also revealed that Playboi Carti has another album that was completed back in 2022 but never saw the light of day. “When I started coming around, he already had an album done,” Izzo shared during a chat with VladTV. Although he refused to disclose the album’s title, Izzo confirmed that it wasn’t “scrapped”—it just hasn’t been released yet.
The DJ explained that the album was delayed to make room for new energy and creative directions. “We had to push it back. We was just creating and the energy coming in,” he said. “New energy, that’s all.” While the mystery album’s title and details remain under wraps, it adds to the growing anticipation for Carti’s next moves in the music world.
The MUSIC Process: A Marathon of Creativity
Izzo also spoke about the process behind Carti’s most recent album, MUSIC, revealing that the artist was still working on the project right up until its official release. “We just trying to make the album more and more exciting. So we just cramming,” Izzo explained. “We recorded all the way up to the album actually came out. So when they dropped at 7 AM, we were still in the studio, on everything I love.”
This intense, last-minute approach to finalizing MUSIC showcases Carti’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of his sound, keeping fans on the edge of their seats right until the very moment the album dropped.
With both BABY BOI and the unreleased 2022 album waiting in the wings, Playboi Carti’s future releases are sure to fuel even more excitement and speculation from fans eager to hear what’s next from the enigmatic rapper.
