Briefing

AI Guerrilla exists for one reason: to help creators use AI to make more money and become harder to replace. Not to argue about AI, not to chase hype—just to build assets.

Today’s mission is for all creators, but we’re going to walk through it using a rap artist catalog as the example. If you can understand it for rap, you can translate it to any lane: blues, storytelling, YouTube, offers, whatever.

Mission: 500 Songs, 90 Days

Think of this as building a factory plus a distribution system:

  • Factory = your idea + writing + generation workflow

  • Distribution = DistroKid pushing songs to platforms, and you cross-posting clips where people actually scroll

We’ll break the insanity into pieces so it’s actually doable.

Mission: One AI Rap Artist, 500 Songs, 90 Days

You are not just building a label. You are building one AI rap artist with a serious catalog.

The goal: 500 songs in 90 days under a single artist name. One story, one sound, one DistroKid profile.

Step 1 – Lock in one artist lane

For this mission, you are all‑in on one lane:

  • Who it’s for:
    Example: “People who like dark, cinematic rap about escaping a 9–5, money pressure, and proving people wrong.”

  • What you talk about:
    Example: “Work, fear, ambition, family, mistakes, and the cost of trying to level up.”

  • Three sound words:
    Example: “Dark, punchy, cinematic.”

Write this down. For the next 90 days, every song needs to feel like this one artist. No side experiments, no random genres. One lane, 500 angles on the same story.

Step 2 – Song count math (so you don’t quit)

500 songs in 90 days for one artist sounds impossible until you break it down.

500 songs in 90 days = about 5.5 songs per day.

Practically, think:

  • 6 songs per day, 6 days per week = 36 per week

  • Over 12 weeks (about 90 days) = 432 songs

  • Add some heavier days and you hit 500

Really breaking it down.

  • 90 days ≈ 13 weeks

  • 500 ÷ 13 ≈ 38 songs per week

  • 38 ÷ 6 working days ≈ 6–7 songs per day

You are not writing each song from a blank page. You are:

  • Using AI as a concept + draft engine

  • Reusing structures and flows that work

  • Focusing on getting to “good enough to release” and letting volume + data (the customer) tell you what hits

The mindset: this is a catalog sprint to build a base that can earn for years, not a perfection contest.

Step 3 – Use AI as your concept generator and writer’s room

Pick one main assistant:

“You are my writing assistant. I am building a [describe lane] rap artist. Give me 30 song concepts with titles and complete 4 line choruses. Make them specific and emotional, and avoid copying existing songs. The titles should be three words or less and completely novel”

You now have a huge backlog of concepts.

Next, for daily work:

  1. Each day, choose 6 concepts.

  2. For each concept, have the AI suggest hooks and verse ideas, but you edit and inject your own lines and references.

  3. Use a consistent structure template so you move fast.

This is how you get to “5–10 songs drafted per day” without burning out your brain.

Step 4 – Demo generation and selection

To move at this speed, you need fast demos:

Workflow per concept:

  1. Feed your refined lyrics and lane description into Suno.

  2. Generate 1–2 versions.

  3. Listen and rate: good enough to release, or keep as a draft?

  4. Only promote the strongest performing songs with thousands of views, but still aim to get 500 finished songs uploaded as catalog.

You’ll end up with:

  • Some clear standout songs you push harder

  • A big supporting catalog that still earns in the background

Step 5 – DistroKid: base catalog deployment

Set up:

  • One artist at first (2–5 total artists)

  • Clear branding and bios per artist

  • Make sure you’re honest about AI usage and not cloning voices or impersonating real artists*

Upload strategy:

  • Batch-upload songs per artist and use scheduled releases so they roll out over time, even after the 90 days are done

  • Example: schedule 2–3 releases per week per artist for months

This way, your 90-day grind creates months of ongoing release activity.

Step 6 – 90 days for cross-posting everywhere

While DistroKid handles distribution to Spotify, Apple Music, and other platforms, you use the same 90 days to slice songs into social content:

  • Take the best hooks and moments from that day’s songs

  • Turn them into vertical clips (CapCut, etc.)

  • Post daily on:

    • TikTok

    • YouTube Shorts

    • Instagram Reels

Every post points to:

  • Your artist profiles on streaming, and

  • Your main home base (YouTube, email list, or community)

After 90 days, you don’t just have 500 songs sitting there. You have:

  • A base catalog live or scheduled

  • Dozens or hundreds of clips already out

  • Data on which songs are performing best

Using vidIQ to SEO Your Songs and Clips

If you are posting songs and Shorts to YouTube without SEO, you are leaving views on the table. vidIQ helps you find what people are already searching for so your rap catalog and clips have a better chance to get discovered.

Step 1 – Research your lane like a creator, not a fan

After you upload (or before you even record), go into vidIQ and:

  • Type in phrases that match your lane:

    • “dark rap”, “russian rap song”, “sad rap about 9 to 5”, “Russian rap”, “blues rock story song”

  • Look at:

    • Search volume (how many people look for it)

    • Competition score (how hard it is to rank)

    • Related keyword suggestions

Your goal: find medium to high search volume with low to medium competition, then name and describe your videos to match that language.

Step 2 – Title and description that match search

For each song or clip you upload:

  1. Choose 1 main keyword from vidIQ.

  2. Build titles around them, plus your angle.

Examples:

  • “Song About Quitting (Dark Rap )”

  • “Getting Through (Russian Rap)”

  1. Use the description to repeat those phrases naturally and add context:

    • Who the song is for

    • What kind of mood it’s in

    • Any story hooks

vidIQ will show you how well your title/description are aligned with search interest, so you are not guessing. https://vidiq.com/

For Non-Music Creators

Replace “song” with “piece of content” or “micro-asset”:

  • 500 songs = 500 TikToks, 500 Shorts, 500 carousels, 500 newsletter snippets

  • DistroKid distribution = the platforms where your content lives (YouTube, Instagram, Substack, Gumroad)

  • Artist lanes = your content pillars (e.g., “AI for freelancers,” “AI for editors,” “AI for small businesses”)

Same idea:

  • Pick 2–4 content lanes

  • Use AI to brainstorm hundreds of ideas and outlines

  • Publish or schedule 500 pieces in 90 days

  • Cross-post and repurpose aggressively

The number is meant to force you into system thinking, not perfection.

After the First 500

Do not stop.

Once you reach 500 songs:

Build playlists.
Build brand pages.
Build email list.
Cross promote niches.
Create compilation albums.
Pitch for synchronization licensing opportunities.

The first 500 builds foundation.

The next 500 builds authority.

The next 1,000 builds leverage.

At scale, even small per song stream averages compound into meaningful monthly revenue.

If you treat artificial intelligence music like a hobby, it will pay like a hobby.

If you treat it like infrastructure, it becomes infrastructure.

Infrastructure compounds.

The internet rewards volume plus consistency plus clarity.

You now have the structure.

Ninety days.
Five hundred songs.
System over emotion.
Assets over hype.
