Cardo Claims That He's Finishing Up Work On Playboi Carti's Album

Playboi Carti is the most mysterious man in hip-hop. Yes, Kendrick Lamar is extremely secretive about his release schedule, but Parti like to keep fans waiting for years. He's been teasing the release of his third album, tentatively titled MUSIC, since 2021. If we're to take producer Cardo at his word, however, the wait for new Carti is almost over. Cardo recently talked about the recording process for the album, and claimed that it was nearing an end.

Cardo recorded himself talking about his upcoming plans on July 3. The producer revealed that he was going to Atlanta to "finish up" Playboi Carti's anticipated album. The other person in the room asks how the recording process has been going, and Cardo admits that it hasn't been easy. "I don't know, man," he explains. "It's been going crazy. That's all I know... In a good way. It's been crazy fun." He noted that he's unaware of what Carti will do at a given time. He could drop a song that Cardo produced at random, or it will never see the light of day.

Cardo Has Been Working On The Album For Four Years

The real kicker came when Cardo was asked how long he'd been working on the album. "For like four years," he revealed. "Me and him have been working on this album for a good four years." The timeline adds up with regards to the album's announcement. It's also humorous to know that people in Playboi Carti's inner-circle are just as unsure of what he will do as the fans. Cardo has known Carti for almost a decade, and their collaborations have been consistently strong. The producer spoke on their unique chemistry during a Billboard interview in April.

Cardo hesitated to get too specific about their process, but he did say that him and Carti are musically aligned most of the time. "That’s my little brother, man," the producer gushed. "Just being around him, the young one, you know, and gaining some kind of different kind of energy and inspiration from what he’s doing. Seeing what levels he’s going on. It kind of gives me an idea of what levels I should just keep going. That’s how we’re creating all these fun records." We hope, for Cardo's sake and the fan's, that the album drops soon.

SZA SHOWS OFF GYMNASTICS SKILLS IN ‘DREAM’ MEETING WITH OLYMPIAN SIMONE BILES

SZA may be one of music’s biggest stars, but her talents extend beyond the studio or stage.

In a video shared on Instagram ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the TDE songstress met up with U.S. gymnast Simone Biles and showcased her own skills in the gymnasium.

The clip begins with the two women embracing before SZA reveals that it had been a “dream” of hers to meet Biles, who is the most decorated gymnast in history.

The “Kill Bill” hitmaker also talks about her own past career in gymnastics before she decided to pursue music.

“When it was clear to me that I wasn’t gonna be a national gymnast, I was like, ‘Okay, let me see what I can do.’ I needed something to be competitive at,” she says.

SZA then dusts off some of her old moves by doing a handstand alongside Biles.

The Grammy-winner also posted a video on her Instagram Stories of her and Biles backflipping into a foam pit, after which SZA says: “That was fun as shit.”

Check out both clips below.

SZA isn’t the only musician who has been participating in the Olympic buildup.

Last month, Snoop Dogg showed off his physical fitness by running a 200-meter sprint during Team USA’s Summer Olympics track and field trials.

NBC, the broadcaster for the Olympics in the U.S., posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) of Tha Doggfather showcasing his sprinting skills in Eugene, Oregon.

In the clip, the 52-year-old rap legend busts a lung as he completes the dash while rocking a red, white and blue stars and stripes outfit, including a Kobe Bryant shirt.

After racing past the finish line, Snoop reacted to his time and came away rather impressed: “34.44 for a 52-year-old? Ain’t bad,” he declared.

It was previously announced that Snoop Dogg would join NBCUniversal’s coverage of the 2024 Olympic Summer Games in Paris, which begin on July 26.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Snoop will speak with NBC Olympics host Mike Tirico and provide his “unique take” on the events.

He will also “explore the city’s iconic landmarks, attend Olympic competitions and events and make visits to the athletes, their friends and families.”
