Heart On My Sleeve - Rappers' Viral Collaboration That Never Happened

A YouTuber called Ghostwriter has used AI software trained on the voices of rappers Drake and The Weeknd to produce a track called Heart On My Sleeve that sounds like a work of the two artists - and it's going viral.

The track's video, which has already racked up hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube, features two voices trading verses that sound uncannily like the rappers'. The sound quality of the YouTube track is not quite as polished as a genuine track, but it could very easily dupe unknowing listeners if heard out of context. Ghostwriter appears to have produced other 'fake' songs, including 'Kanye West' covering Drake's hit Passion Fruit. 'Kanye's' AI vocals on this track seem lower quality than those on Heart On My Sleeve - the slurred, autotuned voice on this earlier effort perhaps providing an insight into earlier iterations of cloned-voice tracks.
