Last Friday Playboi Carti finally dropped Music, his oft-delayed follow-up to 2020's Whole Lotta Red. The rollout was a little messy: The album didn't drop at midnight ET as initially promised, a couple of the song titles were changed after its release, and the album cover reads I Am Music though it's formally titled Music. I wonder how much longer Carti would've delayed Music had he not been scheduled to headline Rolling Loud California Sunday night.
Playboi Carti did not play all of Music at Rolling Loud because it's a whopping 77 minutes long, but he did do the majority of it, including a bunch of live debuts of songs like "Mojo Jojo" and "Backd00r." The Weeknd came out to do "Rather Lie" and "Timeless," and Skepta came out for "Toxic." The crowd requested oldie-but-goodie "Location," and, yes, he did do "Fe!n."
There was also a moment after "HBA" where Carti paused the show for a couple of minutes and instructed the back of the crowd to make room for the folks packed up front. Props to him and the Rolling Loud crew for that. You can watch the whole set below:
In more Music news, over the weekend Carti's store released a digital download edition with the newly-added song "Different Day," which was posted on Instagram in December 2023. He also showed solidarity with his fellow millennials by retweeting this:
