Young MC Taps Into A.I. For “An Old School, New School & Future School” Experience
Now, the prolific songwriter/MC is back with a new single called “Loose,” his follow-up to 2021’s “Worry About That” and first official solo release since 2009. For both the visual and single art, Young MC recruited his “friend,” Disco Theresa, a cyborg created by artificial intelligence. Throughout the clip, he embraces the future of technology with his classic aesthetic, blending the two into an effortless banger. “I spent two years going over every aspect of that song,” Young MC tells AllHipHop. “Bottom end, drums, chords, progressions, lyrics and A.I. It sounds simple, but it’s very intricate. You literally hear new stuff in your fifth listen. It took me two years to get the most out of my MPC X and sound module setup. I kept thinking I was done with the song and I heard another element I could add.”

Young MC announced the single and video in an Instagram post on Friday (June 7), writing, “This is the first release on my NEW LABEL Disco Theory and features a cameo from my digital avatar sidekick, Disco Theresa. We’re blending old school, new school and future school together for a sound ya’ll have never heard before!”
