Past Collaboration & Current Anticipation

Playboi Carti and NBA YoungBoy possess a confirmed history of musical collaboration, having previously linked up effectively for the notable track titled “ALIVE.” Importantly, this specific past collaboration arrived accompanied by its own distinct controversy involving Kanye West, adding a layer of notable discourse to their prior creative partnership. Presently, Playboi Carti still maintains a dedicated fanbase eagerly awaiting his officially announced next album, BABY BOI, experiencing a prolonged period of anticipation. Crucially, however, he hasn’t remained entirely silent following the promotional activities surrounding his previous MUSIC project. Consequently, amid persistent industry rumors suggesting his potential appearance on NBA YoungBoy’s forthcoming project, Carti now seems actively engaged in fueling that precise speculation, specifically concerning the album titled Make America Slime Again.

Social Media Tease and Fan Reaction

Moreover, as definitively captured and subsequently reported by the outlet Bars via their Instagram platform, the influential Opium record label boss, Playboi Carti himself, deliberately posted a significant picture featuring himself. Intriguingly, this visual post utilized NBA YoungBoy’s existing song “Bring ‘Em Out” directly as its accompanying audio track. Adding substantial weight to the post, Carti included the following explicit written message alongside the image and audio: “SAY WE BEEN PLAYIN OFFENSE FOR DA LAST 5 SUMMERS.”

This declarative statement immediately triggered widespread discussion. The fans, being uncertain about the trustworthiness of the claim, showed their disbelief openly. Such a negative reaction of the audience is definitely logical because Carti’s disappearance from the music scene, when it was well documented and infamous, has been a constant feature over the greater part of the last four years, causing the “five summers” claim to be perceived as probably an exaggeration by those who are watching.

Speculation Builds for New Project

Nevertheless, actively considering Carti’s own referenced summer timeline within his message, a compelling possibility emerges: perhaps this social media activity functions as a deliberate tease hinting towards his confirmed appearance as a featured artist on the upcoming YoungBoy Never Broke Again LP, Make America Slime Again. While crucially, there exist no explicit, official confirmations publicly released yet verifying this highly anticipated potential link-up between the two artists, the reaction across both distinct fanbases demonstrates clear, palpable excitement surrounding the very idea. Additionally, it’s essential to recognize that tangible connections and mutual professional respect linking Playboi Carti and NBA YoungBoy have demonstrably existed for multiple years now, lending historical credibility to the current speculation.

Release Date and Preceding Singles

Ultimately, definitive confirmation regarding Playboi Carti’s potential involvement will only materialize publicly once the Never Broke Again boss, NBA YoungBoy, officially releases his complete Make America Slime Again album in its entirety. This significant release remains firmly scheduled for Thursday, July 25th. Strategically building anticipation ahead of the full album drop, YoungBoy proactively released a carefully selected couple of singles extracted directly from this highly anticipated record just last Friday, July 4th, effectively serving to hold eager fans over and maintain momentum during the final weeks leading up to the complete project’s arrival.

Established Collaborative History

It is fundamentally important to recognize that this potential new connection would not represent the inaugural creative partnership between Playboi Carti and NBA YoungBoy. However, this statement naturally hinges entirely upon the interpretation that Carti’s recent Instagram Story activity genuinely suggests an upcoming collaboration. Crucially, the two artists possess a confirmed history of working together effectively, having previously linked up directly on the notable track titled “ALIVE.”

Importantly, this specific song itself incorporates and creatively reworks distinct musical elements originally extracted from the “CRANK” instrumental, a piece prominently featured within Playboi Carti’s own MUSIC project. Consequently, credit for facilitating this particular sonic connection rightfully belongs to the contributions of DJ Swamp Izzo, specifically his recognizable ad-libs integrated seamlessly into the production framework of “ALIVE.”

Controversial Kanye West Involvement

Moreover, despite the musical merits of “ALIVE,” the track remains perhaps most vividly remembered by many due to significant controversy deliberately stirred by a certain influential mentor figure closely associated with Playboi Carti – namely, Kanye West. Widespread fan shock erupted across online communities when Kanye West unexpectedly released his own distinct version of “ALIVE” featuring NBA YoungBoy.

The argument was highly debated because Kanye West’s version was so drastically related to the “CRANK” beat, which was recognized mainly by people during a time of not just incivility but also public exposure of disagreements between the two artists themselves, Kanye West and Playboi Carti. Therefore, we could see Cardi’s harsh reaction to this act of disloyalty as a response to his perception, that this was indeed a non-consensual demolition of the song and the theft of the basic musical idea. As a result of this, an earlier dispute over the rightful use of song led to the direct appearance and consequent debut of Playboi Carti’s party-endorsed version of “ALIVE,” which argued in favor of the artist and the control of the work.

Ongoing Bond and Anticipated Project

The real facts in detail of the issue of “ALIVE”, including the actions that the original actors who infuriated the situation behind the curtain with their acts are unknown to the general public. Nevertheless, no matter the history of conflicts in which some other people were also involved, it is vivid that Playboi Carti and NBA YoungBoy are prettifying the same tree as well as being helpful to each other professionally.

Does this positive rapport automatically guarantee or confirm that listeners will receive a fresh collaboration between them, specifically featured on YoungBoy’s imminent project, Make America Slime Again? Even with the increasing unrest and spirited anticipation all around both fan bases, nobody can say for sure they are getting it. Therefore, the supporters will most likely have to sit and wait for the physical and digital release of the album, which is appointed for Thursday, July 25th, to know for certain if this specific piece of the track list, which has been only a rumor so far, is in fact a musical reunion.
