Playboi Carti is known for his unique style and unpredictable nature, but when he celebrates his achievements, he compares himself to one of the biggest names in hip-hop: Lil Wayne. Recently, his album MUSIC sold an impressive 500,000 copies in just two weeks, leading Carti to proclaim on social media, “FEELING LIKE WEEZY WE ALREADY PLATINUM N DA STREETS,” which means he feels as successful as Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne has greatly impacted hip-hop, and Carti has always admired him. You can see this influence in Carti’s music and style.

For example, Carti’s latest release is named after Wayne’s famous mixtape, showing just how much he looks up to the rap legend. Like Wayne, who built a massive following of loyal fans, Carti has also captivated the music scene. Interestingly, the success of MUSIC coincided with the ten-year anniversary of Carti’s first big hit, Broke Boi. A decade ago, he was just starting out, but now he is a well-established artist whose music releases are highly anticipated events. Fans are now looking forward to his upcoming album, BABY BOI. Given Carti’s history of surprising fans, it might take a while before the album drops.

But that excitement is part of what makes being a fan enjoyable. Like his promotional strategies, his previous album, Whole Lotta Red, was filled with surprises. At the same time, Lil Wayne is set to release his new album, Tha Carter VI, this year, creating an interesting parallel between the two artists. While one hip-hop icon continues his legacy, the other is making a name for himself while paying homage to the past. Regardless of when BABY BOI is released, Carti’s influence shows no signs of slowing down, and if he truly is “like Weezy,” the best is yet to come.

Could 2024 be the year that Quavo and Travis Scott bring back their popular collaboration, Huncho Jack? Fans are buzzing with excitement after Quavo shared a mysterious teaser that has everyone talking. While enjoying a ride on a speedboat in Miami, Quavo played a snippet of a new song featuring Travis Scott. He hinted that a sequel to their earlier project might be on the way by posting, “Thinkin HJ2? Tag Jack.” This has sparked a lot of speculation about whether the duo is working on new music together. Fans reacted enthusiastically, flooding the comments with hope for the sequel.

One fan expressed their desire for a follow-up after seven years, while another called the original album an “underrated classic.” The first Huncho Jack project, released in December 2017, stood out with its catchy tunes and the natural chemistry between Quavo and Travis Scott. It debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, selling 90,000 copies in its first week and topping the R&B/Hip-Hop and Rap charts. The project also included contributions from Quavo’s Migos bandmates, Offset and Takeoff, adding even more depth to the collaboration. With Takeoff’s passing in 2022, revisiting Huncho Jack feels both poignant and a way to honor his legacy.

Now, seven years later, fans feel that a sequel is more important than ever. Both Quavo and Travis have grown as artists, Quavo is adapting to life after Migos, while Travis continues to break new musical ground with his latest work, Utopia. A second Huncho Jack album could blend their personal growth with their skills in making exciting and innovative music. The ball is now in Travis Scott’s court. Quavo has clarified that he’s ready to roll, but will Travis join him? Fans are eagerly waiting and won’t stop until these two come together to deliver the sequel they’ve been dreaming of for years.
