Playboi Carti has unveiled a new track titled “PLAY THIS,” available exclusively for streaming on his Instagram account @opium_00pium. The release’s status, whether a final version or just a snippet, remains ambiguous. Carti shared the piece with a candid message, expressing his ongoing creative process: “IM NOT DONE AT ALL DIS SUM COOL SH*T I WANTED YALL TO HEAR BC I LOVE DIS SONG BUT DA SHIT DATS ON MY ALBUM OVRLY TRIMM.”
“PLAY THIS” continues Carti’s streak of engaging releases, following collaborations with notable artists like Travis Scott on “BACKROOMS” and The Weeknd on “TIMELESS,” along with solo tracks such as “All Red” and “EvilJ0rdan.” These recent drops have heightened anticipation for his upcoming album, ‘I AM MUSIC,’ which Carti has confirmed will be produced by Ye and might eschew guest features altogether.
Listeners can experience “PLAY THIS” now, exclusively through Carti’s Instagram, offering a glimpse into the rapper’s evolving musical journey and what to expect from his forthcoming album.
