Well done @oaf . A truly pioneering new spin on an old genre.

Congrats Oaf, very well done. Sounds very authentic and, for want of a better word, sincere - especially considering the AI input! I mean, as in it's not ironically done, just very properly done and enjoyable, certainly could hear it playing over the end credits of a 70s American TV series. Very clever use of tech also

Thanks for the kind words everyone! My song definitely has plenty of rough edges but it was an interesting challenge to try to learn a new genre - and yes I decided to go for something that was more "empowerment" than "gangster" it felt more positive.

Thanks to @stratman3142 for organising it all
