The cover’s lettering layers a stretched serif with a compressed sans and belongs to Playboi Carti. It is not a font you can install, so it is not given here. It was made for the brand alone: no one sells it or gives it away.

Google’s answer describes the I AM MUSIC lettering from Playboi Carti’s album as a vertically stretched serif, in the way of Times New Roman Condensed, layered with a bold, compressed sans such as Swiss 911 Compressed or Helvetica Inserat. Those are comparisons: the album is listed as I AM MUSIC in some places and as MUSIC in others, and no page we read names the exact typeface.
Fan-made fonts inspired by the cover are online too, one of them by theotin, but their terms are their authors’. Designed by Rodrigo Fuenzalida and Jordan Egstad, Instrument Serif is the typeface shown on this page: released under the SIL Open Font License at no cost, and close to the serif side of the I Am Music style.
The I AM MUSIC cover is set in capitals, white on black. The serif letters are pulled tall and narrow, and a heavy compressed sans sits with them, so the words look squeezed and doubled.
The Solid option on the Logo background sets your text as white serif capitals on black, with no outline or halo. Outline on Clear leaves just thin white strokes for placing over a picture, while Paper renders the same text in black on a pale page.
Google’s answer says a stretched serif like Times New Roman Condensed layered with a compressed sans like Swiss 911 Compressed or Helvetica Inserat. No page names the exact fonts, so those are guesses at a lettering drawn for the album.
Yes: the generator sitting at the top of this I Am Music page. This tool renders your text in white on black in the I Am Music style, exports the image, and hands you the free typeface behind it.
The lettering on the cover belongs to Playboi Carti and is not distributed as a typeface. The Instrument Serif typeface offered here works for any project under the SIL Open Font License, whereas fan-made I Am Music fonts found online follow their own separate terms.

Words of your own in Instrument Serif, yes: its licence permits use on anything you sell. The I AM MUSIC name, the cover and its lettering stay Playboi Carti’s, so a shirt that copies the cover is not yours to sell.
