The world is still buzzing after the release of Playboi Carti’s highly-anticipated “Music” album. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 after selling 298,000 units in its first week.
Swamp Izzo Says Playboi Carti Has Finished Recording Next Album
But even though Carti is still riding the wave of his latest album, he is already looking forward to his next act. According to Carti’s DJ, DJ Swamp Izzo, the Atlanta artist has already finished recording his next project, BABY BOI. He has also recorded over 50 songs for the project.
“[It’s] new music. He got over 50, 60 songs done. Completed to his liking? I couldn’t say. But they’re done. If I was still in that mixtape era, we’d have BABY BOI one through nine. Fifteen years ago, we were so heartfelt on them exclusives. We couldn’t even sleep until we put it out before everybody,” he said.
However, although Carti has finished recording the project, that doesn’t necessarily mean that fans should expect him to drop it any time soon. DJ Swamp Izzo says that he and Carti were working on the “Music,” album until the day it was released. That would also explain the release dates continuing to be pushed back before Carti eventually dropped the project in March.
“I knew it was going to change the world. But you got to think, we are still in there fighting over a hundred songs trying to get it down to 24, 25. Still couldn’t do it. It was already 24, 25 at midnight. It was locked,” Swamp Izzo added.
“Something happened behind the [scenes] that he was like, ‘let’s go back in.’ So the song selection started changing. What you heard, the final, was a whole different shuffle. Because he’s still storming in his mind, he’s still creating.”
It will be interesting to see when the project actually drops.
