Playboi Carti Sparks BABY BOI Album Speculation Following New Music Snippet

Playboi Carti already made a major impact on 2025 with the release of his long-awaited album MUSIC, but fans are now buzzing with hope that he may have more in store before the year wraps up. While Carti’s track record of long gaps between projects—over four years between Whole Lotta Red and MUSIC—makes that seem unlikely, new teases have fueled speculation that another project titled BABY BOI could drop soon.

A recent snippet, surfaced by popular fan page Ploybert Corti on Twitter, has reignited the hype. The clip showcases Carti revisiting his cloud rap roots with a dreamy, drumless production style. Floating over layers of ethereal synths, Carti’s vocal delivery shifts between melodic flows and breathy cadences. It’s a distinct sonic contrast to the high-energy rage sound that dominated much of MUSIC, though longtime fans know Carti’s catalog has always walked the line between atmospheric and aggressive.

While the snippet sounds like a throwback to his earlier days, don’t expect BABY BOI to be a complete departure. DJ Swamp Izzo, a close collaborator, teased that Carti’s trademark explosive ad-libs and chaotic energy will be even more present on this upcoming project than they were on MUSIC. In a playful warning to fans, Izzo joked that those who weren’t fans of Carti’s signature yells and screams might be in for a rude awakening with this next drop.

As with all things Playboi Carti, the biggest question remains: when will BABY BOI actually arrive? Historically, predicting Carti’s release dates is a guessing game. However, signs of progress are coming from those closest to him.

Carti’s partner, Gio Ramos, added fuel to the speculation with a candid update on social media. In a short video, she confirmed that BABY BOI is finished. “Yeah, BABY BOI is done,” she said. “It’s completed. He keeps talking about it. It’s done, it’s on the way. He just keeps trying to make sure it drops at the right time, I guess.”

While no official release date has been announced, fans are keeping their eyes on Carti’s social media pages and Opium Records insiders for any hint of movement. Given the buzz around the snippet and Gio Ramos’ confirmation, excitement continues to build.

Whether BABY BOI arrives this year or keeps fans waiting longer, the new sound previews suggest Carti is once again ready to push boundaries and blend styles. If the snippet is any indication, Carti’s next era could bring together the best of his cloud rap roots and the experimental energy that’s defined his more recent releases.
