🔥 MLTNT — Militant Roots Reggae LoRAs for YuE2

Six artist-style LoRAs by becausereasons that push YuE2-3B into modern militant roots reggae — dark raspy patois vocals, steppers grooves, deep sub bass, bubbling Hammond, nyabinghi drums, horn stabs, dub sirens and spring reverb.

Each LoRA patches both halves of YuE2: the autoregressive planner that writes the score and the vocal lines, and the flow-matching decoder that makes the sound. Trigger word: mltnt.

New: Soundclash and Chanter, trained with a different trainer. The voice is far more expressive, and they need one habit: planner strength 0.5 for fast or hard styles, and a 360 s cap. Picking one of them sets both for you.

One descriptive sentence, trigger first: language → genre → vocal → instruments → mood → BPM → production.

Lyrics

Tagged blocks: [Verse] [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Bridge] [Outro]. No empty [Intro] — the planner writes its own.

[Verse]
Concrete tower reach up past the cloud
Dem a build it pon the bones below
Every wire whisper what the elders know
Babylon a run but the road run slow

[Verse]
Satellite a watch the pickney dem play
Algorithm teach dem what fi say
Mi grandmother drum still a beat the way
Roots deeper than the cable dem lay

[Pre-Chorus]
Wisdom slower than the wire
Hold the line

[Chorus]
Fire pon the tower, let it fall
Fire pon the tower, hear we call
Man a run the future, lose the past
Tower of Babylon never last

[Verse]
Dem sell yuh a mirror call it a light
Trade yuh memory fi a screen so bright
Mi tell yuh straight, mi nah sell mi sight
Nyabinghi drum a hold the night

[Pre-Chorus]
Wisdom slower than the wire
Hold the line

[Chorus]
Fire pon the tower, let it fall
Fire pon the tower, hear we call
Man a run the future, lose the past
Tower of Babylon never last

[Bridge]
Jah know
Ancestor a stand inna the doorway
Dem never left, dem only wait
Every generation get the same key
Only the humble one can turn it straight

[Outro]
Tower of Babylon never last
Roots deeper than the cable dem lay

Decoder strength

The lever to push: 1.0 → 1.5 gets darker and rougher.

Sound only, not the arrangement. 1.4 is the Fusion sweet spot. Roughly doubles render time above 1.0.

Tips from the model card

Rapid-fire verses come from the lyric, not the prompt. Write verse lines at 15–17 words (one- and two-syllable words) and keep the chorus at 7–8; asking for "double-time" in the style prompt does not speed the vocal up. MLTNT Frontline is the variant trained for this.
Planner strength above 1.0 collapses the vocal — it is capped here.
Soundclash and Chanter behave differently. At planner strength 1.0 on a fast style they over-commit: everything gets faster and more frantic, and occasionally the score gets stuck in one section (minutes of groove, no singing). Planner 0.5 keeps the voice and restores the structure. On these two files the phrase "rapid-fire double-time deejay flow" does speed the whole song up, so keep it for one section unless you want the entire track double time. The same prompt at 1.0 and 0.5 gives two different songs: try both. The one drop rhythm is not learned by any of the six files.
Production words ("boom-bap", "deejay toasting", "steppers") move the tempo grid and key far more than the numeric BPM in the same sentence.
A seed can end a song early. That is the seed, not the cap — change it and re-run.
