features a collection of tracks that showcase Carti's signature blend of melodic flows, catchy hooks, and experimental production. The mixtape is a testament to Carti's growth as an artist, with many considering it one of his most impressive projects to date.
Officially, I AM MUSIC does not exist. There is no verified tracklist, no release date on Apple Music, and no press release from Interscope Records. Yet, fans will swear they have heard it. They describe songs with titles like 2024 , Rockstar , Kill Phil , and Ketamine . They speak of a shift in Carti’s sound—a fusion of deep-voiced, "deep voice" aggression, punk-rock distortion, and hypnotic, repetitive ad-libs.
In 2023, Carti began teasing a new era. The aesthetic shifted from the gothic, vampire-lord visuals of WLR to a more abrasive, rockstar-meets-mystic vibe. He performed snippets at festivals like Rolling Loud. He covered magazines. He wore masks.
