man oh man logic please dude
so many repetitive lame gimmick lines, corny bars, random words strung together to sound nice, and also just lazy production in so many places. Wild. BoomTrap Protocol has a crazy good beat though. Indica Badu sample is obviously great.

This volume serves as a compilation of music Jon made for a video series called Arby 'n' the Chief. Specifically seasons 5 through 8
I don't know how long Jon had been making music when he made these, but the amount of effort he put into making these songs to serve as a soundtrack to his show, which at this point had become more serious and emotionally charged, is exceedingly evident. This volume is a cohesive and coherent, conceptual piece. It really is music, and man it tells a ... read more

figured an album called Nebraska probably fits this genre pretty well.
not usually a fan of slower / singer-songwriter stuff, but I feel it deserves a spin regardless.

"@Toxikwaltz18 If you've heard any AI music before it all has underlying common traits. The instrumental melodies are very rudimentary and generally fall in the same range sonically. The vocals sound horrific, over processed, and genuinely not even real. The lyrics are effectively what you'd expect a computer to say given the title of each track; also just exceptionally poor quality and a total lack of soul or creativity in any facet. It's very blatantly obviously AI and it will likely be removed from Spotify soon, as almost all of their other music has already been removed for being AI."
