F1LTHY has been a crucial contributor to Playboi Carti’s musical style for many years. His gritty, warped production has played a significant role in shaping it.

, with bangers like “CRUSH” and “RATHER LIE.” He’s not just a behind-the-scenes guy either—he’s signed to Carti’s Opium label and is basically part of the vamp family tree at this point. The synergy? Unmatched. Like Venus and Serena, if they were into leather, chaos, and strobe lights.


When fans begin to panic about



BABY BOI



— AKA the mythical,



possibly-real Carti album



That’s been “coming soon” – people turn to F1LTHY for information, and this time, he actually provided an answer.

It’s almost go time


After a fan on X claimed



BABY BOI



was gonna get scrapped (cue collective eye roll), F1LTHY jumped in to shut it down. According to him, the album is done. However, Carti and his team are too busy pushing

to drop it just yet. So, yeah — new music is on pause, but not because it doesn’t exist.

and



MUSIC



collaborator) also confirmed the album is complete. According to him, there are 50 to 60 tracks recorded. Yes, 5-0 to 6-0. Enough to make a

completed to his liking? I couldn’t say. But they’re done. If I was still in that mixtape era, we’d have

Naturally, fans aren’t expecting this to happen soon. They’ve been



burned before.



Repeatedly. But hey, hope is a stubborn little thing—and if we



do



get two Carti projects in one year? That’s not just a win, that’s a once-in-a-lunar-eclipse event.
