I found out about her after her feature on Denzel. I'd heard some of her songs before randomly but never got curious enough to look her up until her verse on HOT ONE.

Her music sounds a bit samey IMO, but her talent is undeniable; she's got flow, lyrics, and charisma. Also... She's newgen, no denying that.

I strongly dislike the majority of mainstream fem rappers out right now (Cardi B, Megan, Sexxy Red) but I think Tia has some gems.

Thoughts?

Buck 65 is a rapper from Canada. If you aren't familiar with him here's one of my favourite songs from him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OViINrmZUY

He recently wrote this on his substack: "Not long after sending the master off, we received a message from the pressing plant (one of the bigger, more popular plants). They said there was an issue and refused to go forward with the pressing until the issue was resolved. We came to find out that they used AI to analyze the album and determined that the music was sample-based. They said they would only press the album if full details on sample clearances was provided. I went through all of this with Warner back when I signed my deal back in 2002 or whenever it was. That paperwork may or may not be collecting dust in a drawer somewhere in the world. Finding it now would be impossible and going though the whole process again - with lawyers and contracts and blah, blah, blah - would be just as difficult. I don’t even have a lawyer anymore. So we bailed and then had to scramble to find a different plant that was willing to do the job as pre-orders were already in and all copies sold out in advance."

Has anyone heard anything similar? If more widespread this could kill vinyls across the board, not just hip hop but anything sample based from plunderphonics to vaporwave.

This isn't good.
