Just when fans thought Playboi Carti was gearing up to drop new music, a flood of unreleased tracks has hit the internet. This unexpected leak comes shortly after Carti hinted to DJ Akademiks that new material was imminent, adding a layer of frustration for both the artist and his dedicated fanbase.
A Wave of Leaked Grails
Overnight, several highly sought-after Carti tracks, often referred to as “grails” by fans, surfaced online. These leaks reportedly span various eras of his career, including songs from the “MUSIC” album period, the “NARCISSIST” project, and other unreleased gems. Notable tracks include “Rockstarz,” “Red Cullinan” (also known as “Prada”), “Play About Mine” featuring Justin Bieber and Swae Lee, “Gang Members,” and “Phantom / Keys.”
The leak has ignited debate among fans, particularly concerning allegations of AI-generated vocals on some tracks, like the collaboration with Justin Bieber. This raises questions about the authenticity of the leaked material, reinforcing that these are likely demos or unfinished versions rather than official releases.
Hype for “Mansion Musik” Continues
Despite the leaks, the hype for Carti’s next official project, reportedly titled “Mansion Musik,” continues to build. This album is the follow-up to “MUSIC,” which itself faced a lengthy and chaotic rollout after a four-year gap since “Whole Lotta Red.” The Atlanta artist has a history of teasing new music, leading to immense fan anticipation for any official release.
It’s unlikely that these leaked tracks will appear on any future official releases, given the history of leaks plaguing Carti’s project rollouts. However, Carti is also rumored to be working on new collaborations, including a potential project with Lil Baby, ensuring that new music from the Opium artist will surface one way or another.
