AI Music News 15 JunLate rapper Eyedea returns on a 14-song album built from AI-cloned vocals
- A new 14-song album, 15-Year-Old Shit Talking, recreates late rapper Eyedea's voice using AI vocal cloning and his own handwritten teenage lyrics.
- Eyedea's mother, Kathy Larsen Averill, saved the lyrics and recorded placeholder vocals to train the voice model, alongside rappers Ecid and Brady O'Rourke.
- Human producers made every beat, including DJ Willy Lose and Big Jess of Unknown Prophets, so the record is a reconstruction, not a fully synthetic album.

About the founder
I'm Christopher Wieduwilt. Founder of The AI Musicpreneur.
Christopher Wieduwilt
AI Music Educator & Journalist
I've been a musician for over 25 years — metal bands in Germany, a solo singer-songwriter project that toured the US coast to coast, 500,000+ plays on Myspace. Then Myspace crashed and I lost my entire fanbase overnight.
After that I worked inside the music industry for years on the business side: managing artists, working for record labels, organising concerts and festivals. Watched the same mistakes repeat on newer platforms.
In 2023, generative music AI started reshaping everything: production, promotion, rights, revenue. I started covering AI in music production in August 2023, before Suno's public launch. 200+ stories since.
Today the site is read by 20,000 music professionals every month — Grammy-winning engineers, artists, and people inside Warner Music, AWAL, Believe, Songtradr, and UnitedMasters.
The Wednesday newsletter is where I go deeper: one news story, one tool tutorial, one promotion tip. Free.

Frequently asked
Frequently asked questions
What is AI music and how does it work?
My article on What is AI music covers this in full: how AI models are trained on audio, what generation tools can and can't do, and where the copyright questions stand.
Will AI replace musicians?
The short answer is no, but the longer answer matters more. Will AI replace musicians breaks down what AI can produce, what it can't, and where human artists still have ground that's hard to take.
Is AI music copyrighted?
Practice is shifting. The US Copyright Office has ruled that purely AI-generated output doesn't qualify for copyright protection. Is AI music copyrighted covers the current legal position, the active lawsuits, and what this means for artists using AI tools in their work.
Is there a newsletter for AI music news?
The AI Musicpreneur newsletter goes out every Wednesday. It covers AI music news, tool tutorials, and promotion strategies. Read by 2,000+ music industry professionals. Free to subscribe.
How do AI music tools compare to traditional music production software?
Traditional DAWs give you full control with a steep learning curve. AI tools give you fast results with less manual work, but trade off some control. Most professional workflows now combine both: AI tools for ideation, stem separation, and mastering; the DAW for arrangement and final production decisions.
