Tyga Acknowledges Using Suno AI on $tarface Album

Tyga says the AI supplied specific ’80s-style instrument parts and that he alone wrote and performed the album’s vocals.

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.
