The rapper confirms he used artificial intelligence to craft the retro sound of his new album

During a recent interview with Vibe magazine, the popular rapper defended his controversial creative process.

The music industry faces a major shift as artists explore new tools. Tyga recently shocked fans by revealing his secret studio methods.
ValidUpdates understands that the artist sat down with Vibe magazine. During the chat, he explained the aesthetic behind his project. The album features a distinct eighties style that relies heavily on modern software.

Embracing New Technology
Many listeners actively debate the role of computers in modern music. Some purists argue that machines take away true human emotion. However, Tyga completely rejects this traditional way of thinking.
”And I know people are going to be mad about me saying this, but it’s where technology is going. It’s no different than when auto-tune came out. Some people were opposed to it, but real artists took it and used it.”
The rapper boldly declared his stance on the rapidly changing industry. He fully expects some backlash but refuses to change his methods.
Keeping The Magic Alive
Creators often hide their exact methods to maintain a sense of mystery. The performer admitted he usually avoids discussing his exact studio tricks. He firmly believes that the final product matters more than the process.
”I’ve never spoken on this with anybody because I always felt like it’s similar to a magician explaining how he does his tricks. Like why are people over-explaining how they make s—t that’s good? If you like it, you like it; if you don’t, you don’t. I don’t care.”
He stated this clearly to shut down further questions about his techniques. The project includes a unique track titled Freezing by $tarface and Tyga.
