New Music Friday: New Singles From Playboi Carti, The Weeknd, Joey Bada$$ & More

As the uproar over Kendrick Lamar headlining next year’s Super Bowl halftime show over Lil Wayne rages on, this week’s New Music Friday singles list features top billing from two other blockbuster names: Playboi Carti and The Weeknd.

Answering fans’ prayers, Carti has officially announced his new album I AM MUSIC and issued the first single on streaming services: “All Red.” A release date for the long-awaited project has yet to be revealed, but Carti’s website says copies “will ship no later than six months from September 12, 2024.”

Also kickstarting the rollout for his eagerly anticipated new album Hurry Up Tomorrow, The Weeknd struts through with its lead single “Dancing in the Flames,” along with a cinematic music video that was impressively shot on an iPhone 16 Pro.

Elsewhere, Joey Bada$$ continues to expand his sound by teaming up with Chlöe on the smooth, soul-searching “Tell Me,” Fat Joe heats things back up with the tropical, summer-ready “Paradise” and fellow New York rap veteran Busta Rhymes looks to flood the dancefloor with “Do the Busabus Pt. 2,” the sequel to his Extinction Level Event party-starter.

New tunes also come from the likes of NLE Choppa, Cam’ron, The Alchemist and ScHoolboy Q, Wale and the late Juice WRLD, ensuring your weekend rotation is deep in both volume and variety.
