Smarter Child (Slight Return)
WAMI sequel to the SmarterChild eulogy: bot comes back one track before RIP.
ISRC USLZJ1826971 (soundexchange)
Track eighteen on $WAMI$, Smarter Child (Slight Return) sits right before Rest in Peace Smarter Child and the DBZ-trailer instrumental closer. The title riffs on comic-book sequel syntax (…Slight Return) for AOL’s SmarterChild chatbot, the same early-internet character the next track eulogizes (1996–2017).
On the 2018 lore-dump LP, recurring bits (Scoobert Snack, What a Velma, What a Night, anime theology) make the album feel like remixing Finding $D’s world rather than replacing it. The SmarterChild pair is peak collage energy: nostalgia, punchline, then fake funeral.
