When you grow up on a ranch in Compton, your musical roots are a completely unique mix of West Coast gangster rap and country radio.
In this episode of In The Cut, we head to Conway Studios in Los Angeles to hang out with Randy Savvy of the Compton Cowboys and his engineer Alec Sky. Watch as they take an original vocal idea and use Suno to reformat the tempo and melody, locking in a heavy West Coast foundation. To bring the country element to life, they dive back into the prompt box to generate pedal steel, Americana, and folk layers to build out the rest of the beat.
After getting the track exactly where it needs to be, Randy steps into the booth to lay down raw vocals, explaining why getting the perfect take without any effects is the secret to a flawless final mix.
For Randy, this technology is the ultimate tool to create original material and pioneer a brand-new sound. As he puts it: "Street country is the future of music."
