I'm using AI to produce my next album.

Let me use the first part of this blog to complain. This website (and I mean kayobracey.com, not suno) is a glitchy mess. I routinely write an entire blog, save it, post it, and it disappears. 

I recently found out that Weebly (my server) doesn't support the use of emoji's in blog posts, and that's why the posts disappear. How the heck is it 2025 and you can't use emoji's bruh? 

I actually like the simplicity of the site, so I'll just shut up and deal with it. This post however, isn't going to be as dazzling as my first edit, cuz I'm tired my boy. I'm not even proofreading this mug. If it has typos, ignore them. Now, let's go. 

I'm using Suno to make beats now. Why? A few reasons. 

1) I'm too broke to keep buying beats from producers. I don't mind buying tracks here and there, but some of their prices are outrageous. 

2) I've started making funky, soulful, vintage type of records. There aren't a ton of producers that make what I'm looking for. 

3) And finally, since I never learned how to make beats myself, this is the perfect option. 


Look at all of the tracks I've made on here... And this is just from this morning haha! I'd normally put an emoji right here, but you know... 

Here's the sauce my boy. Pause. 

I use a separate AI (deepai.org) prompt to lay out the beat details. I give it similar artists, songs, tell it what BPM I want, how I want certain instruments to come in, if I want reverb on certain elements, etc. You can really go down a rabbit hole here. You have to be specific. Don't just say make me a vintage hip hop beat. Your prompts should look something like this: 

Now, copy this prompt into Suno. You can add lyrics too if you want to make an entire AI song, but I prefer to either create instrumentals or, when I do add lyrics, I only add a chorus. 

The tool will create two beats for you. If you don't like either option, swipe up and it will create two more. I don't publish any beats that I create on here, as I don't want others remixing them. I'm creating stuff for my album, ya know? 

With a subscription (as low as $8 a month), you get commercial rights for your music. That's right. You're the owner. You can get radio play, get licensing rights, post it to streaming services, etc. Sorry producers, but this is a business. Some artists can afford to pay hundreds of dollars to lease a beat or thousands to get it exclusively. I can't. And most other artists can't either. But hey, this is just my opinion so don't take it too personally. 

They recently just had an update too. Suno allows you to export the stems of the beats/songs that you create in case you want to edit anything. You can bounce out up to 12 stems for a record. 

So, when you listen to my next album that's full of vintage, soulful and funky type of instrumentals, or a song that has a really groovy hook on it with a retro style voice on it... I made it in Suno. For $8 a month. Yep. No gatekeeping here buddy. 

This is normally the part where I'd insert a discount code, but this wasn't a sponsored post. Suno doesn't know that I exist. I'm just passing some knowledge along. God bless you all!
