Playboi Carti hints at new album release during Rolling Loud Vienna

Playboi Carti's fans might finally have a reason to hope, as recent developments suggest that the elusive follow-up to his "Whole Lotta Red" album could be on the horizon.

Over the weekend, at Rolling Loud Vienna, the Atlanta rapper engaged with his fans in a dynamic performance, hinting at continued progress in his music career.

A crisp, clear photo of Carti appeared on what could be his finsta or a promotional Opium account, fueling speculation among his audience.

The online community, buzzing with anticipation, is hopeful that these recent appearances and a new photo signal the nearing release of his long-teased album.

Adding to the excitement, renowned producer Cardo recently revealed in a video that he is "finishing up" Carti's album, describing the process as "crazy fun."

Despite the anticipation, the journey to a new album has not been straightforward.

Playboi Carti has intermittently released song snippets, the latest batch arriving in early 2024, following a flurry of new tracks in late 2023.

The delays, attributed to various factors such as the artist's perfectionism, leaks, and label issues, have only intensified fan theories and hope for the album's release.

Moreover, Playboi Carti's performances continue to draw significant attention, with his set at Summer Smash ranking among the best this year.

Such live shows not only maintain the hype around him but also potentially contribute to the momentum needed for his upcoming releases.

Amidst this, allegations against him and his label, Opium, have added complexity to his career trajectory, though they haven't dampened the enthusiasm of his fanbase.
