Overview
- Tyga confirmed on Thursday that he used the Suno AI music generator for production elements on his $tarface project.
- He said Suno provided isolated sounds such as ’80s synth textures and a guitar solo while he handled all songwriting and vocal performances.
- $tarface, an ’80s-inspired concept album built around a new alter-ego, was released on July 31 and is currently being promoted by Tyga.
- Social clips this summer of Tyga and Shoreline Mafia’s Fenix Flexin in the studio helped spur earlier speculation that some retro productions used AI.
- Tyga defended AI usage as a tool comparable to Auto-Tune, framing the choice as part of a larger industry conversation about how new technology changes music production and credit.
