New York City artist RodThaGreat returns with a bold and thought-provoking new single, “Dilemma,” releasing December 9, 2025, under his independent label ThaGreatCreations LLC. Known for blending intellect with emotion, RodThaGreat uses this track to explore the growing tension between humans and the technology they create. Produced by Zvucitop, with engineering by Wavyvic and mastering from Panpsyche, “Dilemma” delivers a dark, futuristic soundscape that mirrors its deeper message about artificial intelligence and human divinity.
The inspiration behind “Dilemma” stems from RodThaGreat’s belief that humans are the original computers—organic, divine, and capable of creating intelligence that may one day surpass and threaten its creators. The song leans into this concept with eerie electronic textures and melodic rap flows, creating a sonic battle between man and machine. One of the track’s most unique elements is its unconventional sound design, including background tones that resemble a piano but are actually RodThaGreat’s own manipulated vocals, adding an unsettling yet captivating layer to the record.
“Dilemma” holds special significance for the artist, as it was the first song created for his upcoming album and also the most challenging, undergoing multiple revisions since its original conception in 2024. Standout lines like “I got certain powers yeah but I control the weather” reinforce the theme of human superiority and self-awareness. With past accolades including over 1 million Spotify streams on his song “Birthdays” and a #25 spot on the iTunes Rap Albums chart for his debut album, RodThaGreat continues to evolve creatively. Fans can also expect live shows at the top of the new year, signaling an exciting next chapter for the rising NYC artist.
