The Journey with Morgan DeBaun · 2025-10-07 · 41 min
In this episode of The Journey, Morgan sits down with King Willonius - comedian, screenwriter, and creator of the viral "BBL Drizzy" track - to unpack how AI is transforming creativity, music, and culture. King shares his unconventional path into AI during the writer's strike, how one playful idea turned into the first-ever AI sample in music history, and why he sees AI as a creative superpower for artists who've already put in their 10,000 hours. Together, they explore: - The story behind BBL Drizzy and how it went from a joke to a Drake sample. - Why AI didn't replace King's creativity - it amplified decades of work. - The debate: should AI-generated songs be valued the same as human-made music? - The rise of AI-created artists and what that means for representation, ownership, and opportunity. - How AI can democratize creativity, especially for Black creators who've been historically boxed out of traditional industries. This is a wide-ranging, funny, and thought-provoking conversation about art, culture, and what it means to create in the age of AI.
