**Indies Sound the Alarm on GenAI, Plus Sony Signs a Kendrick Collaborator**

GenAI has been making waves in the market with its ability to create original music and sounds, but many indie labels are expressing concerns over potential job losses and unfair competition.
The debate is heating up as AI-generated content becomes increasingly sophisticated, and it’s unclear what this means for human creators and their livelihoods. Some argue that GenAI can augment creativity, while others warn of potential displacement of human talent in the industry.
Meanwhile, Sony Music has announced a collaboration with none other than Kendrick Lamar on an upcoming project. Details remain scarce, but fans are already hyped at the prospect of new music from one of the most innovative and influential artists of the last decade.
