Silk & Gutter

Each release takes the clean lyrics from a well-known absurdist, funny, or outrageous rap song — drawn from artists like Riff Raff, Yuno Miles, 2 Chainz, King Von, and Filthy Frank — and re-performs them against a genre-juxtaposed backing track. The AI selects whichever of jazz, soul, opera, or mariachi creates the most comedic contrast with the lyrical content and vibe. The vocalist must deliver every line with Joji-like sincerity: soft, breathy, melancholic, and emotionally earnest — regardless of how absurd the lyrics are. The comedy comes entirely from the deadpan earnestness. HARD RULE: The generated voice output must be male. No female or gender-ambiguous voice synthesis is acceptable regardless of genre or style selection. HARD RULE: Lyrics must be sourced verbatim from a real, officially released song — no paraphrasing, no AI-generated or invented lyrics under any circumstances. If a verified clean version of the chosen song does not exist, a different song must be selected.
