At Rolling Loud Miami, the buzz around Playboi Carti’s highly anticipated I Am Music hit new highs as he played songs from the upcoming album.
The fans were eagerly waiting for new music from the rap superstar. But after his first public performance, there was a mixed reaction to his new music’s exclusive snippets, which gathered excitement and frustration.
Carti ended the 10th-anniversary edition of Rolling Loud on December 15 with a set that included hit songs you’d expect but also teased material from his long-awaited album I Am Music.
However, the way that the tracks were actually presented made some fans scratch their heads. Carti performed many of his new tracks during his set, including some produced by Metro Boomin and F1LTHY.
Unfortunately, the audio quality during his performance made it difficult for viewers to parse much of it. The snippets broadcasted on Twitch and Amazon Music’s live streams were mostly inaudible to many fans watching online.
One X user posted:
"'I am music will be played' and all we got is 3 inaudible snippets"

"Playboi carti after saying i am music will be played and playing songs from 7 years ago….." one fan wrote.
"Carti playing 2 new songs and calling it performing I Am Music” another remarked.
"Opening Spotify tmr morning and expecting to see I AM MUSIC" an internet user commented.
"HOW MANY OF YALL WAITING ON I AM MUSIC MAKE SOME NOISE” a fan wrote with excitement.
"If I wake up to I AM MUSIC i might cry, real sh*t" wrote a X user
