Needless to say, it's bound to be a huge commercial success, and supporters can't wait. This isn't all DJ Akademiks had to say about I AM MUSIC, however. According to him, Kendrick Lamar will also appear on the album, and he's "talking his s**t again." For now, it's to be seen exactly who he'll be going after this time. These latest updates come just a few days after Playboi Carti confirmed that the album was done on his Instagram Story.
He'd posted a screenshot of a text message he received from Wheezy, letting him know that he sampled Jay-Z's "Girl, Girls, Girls." Carti proceeded to clarify that the text was about a different project they're working on together. "ME N WHEEZY TALKING ABOUT SOME OL OTHER SH*TT," he confirmed. The updates also come after Playboi Carti cleared his entire Instagram profile. Various billboards that say "streets ready" have also been spotted around the country, including in Times Square in New York.
