Tyga confirms use of AI tools on new album $tarface

Rapper Tyga has confirmed the use of artificial intelligence as a creative tool on his ninth studio album, '$tarface'. In an interview with Vibe, the artist addressed rumors regarding electronic sounds on the record, which features '80s synthpop influences.

Tyga clarified that while AI was utilized for specific elements, such as certain '80s synths and guitar solos, the album's production and all vocals were created without AI. He compared the technology to the introduction of Auto-Tune, stating, “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 artist expressed indifference toward potential criticism from listeners, emphasizing that the technology is part of the industry's direction and is intended to enhance the listener's experience.
