About this listen
Playboi Carti’s last few days have been a headline frenzy, cementing his place as both a creative force and cultural spectacle. The top story is his anticipated new album, tentatively titled BABY BOI, already finished according to his girlfriend Gio and DJ Swamp Izzo. Carti recently reignited fan mania with a cryptic Instagram note simply reading OMERTA, a fan-favorite track never officially released, hinting that it might finally appear on this album. While no official drop date is set, buzz about the tracklist, guest features, and whether OMERTA will surface has dominated social media discussions. Speculation remains intense, but most chatter is rooted in die-hard fans connecting the dots rather than confirmed news.
Major news this week is also Carti’s feature on Lil Baby’s forthcoming album The Leak$, out on August 15. Both Lil Baby and Carti confirmed the collaboration, and social media is on fire, with opiumpluto on Instagram teasing the specific track titled Ratchet. This link-up with Lil Baby represents a pairing of two dominant Atlanta voices and could easily be a bookmark in both artists’ discographies.
On the live scene, Carti just played a standout set with The Weeknd and Mike Dean as part of the After Hours Til Dawn stadium tour. At Northwest Stadium on August 2, Carti electrified the audience with his trademark high-energy performance, both solo and alongside The Weeknd, as they performed their joint hits Timeless and Rather Lie. Reviews call it one of the show’s peaks, adding another milestone in Carti’s collaborative history with top-tier pop and hip-hop and proving his live draw remains undiminished.
Business moves are also rippling through the scene. There’s swirling buzz on August 8 about new talent possibly signing to Carti’s Opium label, as fans and industry insiders debate rumored shortlists circulating on Instagram. Nothing has been officially announced, but the speculation itself has become a talking point within the hip-hop business community about Carti’s transition into label boss and talent scout.
The week ahead is primed for more Carti moments as he headlines LIV Nightclub in Miami on August 15, promising a night of viral hits and VIP revelry. Tickets are a hot commodity, and nightlife blogs highlight the show as a Miami must-attend this summer. Social media continues to amplify everything from teases of new music to viral clips of Carti discussing his cultural influence, further feeding the legend. In effect, Carti is riding a perfect storm of hype, music, and entrepreneurial buzz, with each move watched and dissected by both fans and industry insiders.
