Drake Wanted To Remix Bryson Tiller’s Breakout Hit ‘Don’t’ But One Person Ruined It

Nine years ago, Louisville, Kentucky rapper-singer Bryson Tiller exploded into mainstream popularity thanks to his viral 2015 single “Don’t.” The first single from his debut studio album Trapsoul, “Don’t” — which interpolated Mariah Carey’s 2005 hit “Shake It Off” — peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Tiller’s first top-20 hit and making him an “overnight” star. The track earned Tiller comparisons to Drake, the biggest name in hip-hop at the time, and rumors swirled online for some time that the Toronto native and Tiller had a collaboration in the works — perhaps even a remix of “Don’t.”

However, such a remix never actually surfaced, and as Tiller prepares to rollout the release of his self-titled fourth studio album, he revealed why it didn’t happen to Complex‘s Jordan Rose.

“[Drake] wanted to remix it,” Tiller explained. “The guy who produced the song [Chicago producer Epikh Pro], he was selling beats on SoundClick. That was where I got the beat from. I got the beat from him, and he never wanted to get on the phone to talk to me, which was weird. The song had like 100,000 plays, and I was like, ‘Yo, let’s get on the phone. Let’s work on more music.’ And he was like, ‘Yo, somebody from Young Money’s camp reached out to me. They said they like the beat for ‘Don’t’ a lot. I was wondering if you could sell it back to me? Because this could be big for me, bro. What if somebody like Drake or somebody wanted to get on it?’”

“He didn’t even know that Drake was already on my line,” he continued. “So I was like, ‘Yo, bro just call me.’ And after I told him that, he just spazzed on me. He was like, ‘Nah, I ain’t doing this, man.’ He just blocked his own blessings. It’s crazy.”

The two rappers eventually did collaborate on “Outta Time” from Tiller’s third studio album, Anniversary, which culminated five years of effort to release a song together.

Later this year will mark four years since Bryson Tiller released his third album Anniversary. That project at the time was released to celebrate the fifth anniversary of his breakout debut album Trapsoul. Since Anniversary, things have been moderately timid for the Louisville singer who released a Christmas project in 2021, and his three-part Slum Tiller mixtape series with a few singles sprinkled in between. Tiller is about to get a bit more active in the music world as he recently announced his self-titled album and released a new single “Calypso.” As if that wasn’t enough, the singer will also embark on a tour in support of Bryson Tiller.

The Bryson Tiller Tour will kick off North America on May 11 with a show in Portland, Oregon. The run of shows will continue through June 28 with a stop in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and after that, the tour will come to a close after festival appearances at Milwaukee Summerfest, the Calgary Stampede, and the Washington State Fair. The Bryson Tiller Tour will be Tiller’s first tour since 2023’s Back And I’m Better Tour which was his first tour in six years.

She said, “You ain’t changed one bit”
Put my hands on her hips and said, “Just focus on me”

Bryson Tiller Announced His Self-Titled Album And Its Release Date With The Alluring ‘Calypso’

It’s been a while since we’ve been able to say this, but… Bryson Tiller has a new album on the way! The Louisville singer took to Instagram today to announce that his fourth album will be a self-titled effort and shared its release date and what appears to be its cover art. Bryson Tiller arrives on April 5 and features 19 songs including the previously released “Outside” and “Whatever She Wants” as well as his latest single “Calypso.” Bryson released the lattermost single together with news about his new album and the record is perfect for the impending summer days.

“Calypso” is an alluring record that recreates the moment Tiller reconnects with an old lover at a party. The song’s infectious production captures the attraction that still exists between Tiller and the unnamed woman as the two are drawn back into each other’s arms when they hear their favorite song play. Even though the night is approaching its end, the two make their few minutes together feel like a lifetime.

In an interview with Complex, Tiller revealed that there is some singing from him on the album, but for the most part, he’s rapping on Bryson Tiller. He also explained why he decided to make his fourth album a self-titled effort. “I just feel like it wasn’t time to try to get people to believe in some new concept or some new world that I’m trying to create for people,” Tiller said “I feel now is the time to just show people what I’m capable of.”

Bryson Tiller will be the singer’s first project since 2021’s A Different Christmas. A year before that, Tiller released Anniversary to celebrate five years since his breakout debut album Trapsoul.

Bryson Tiller Reveals Self-Titled Album With Futuristic AI-Inspired Trailer

Bryson Tiller is one of the most treasured R&B artists of the 2010s decade. His debut project T R A P S O U L is an essential record in that era of the genre. The Louisville, Kentucky product put his all into the production and songwriting. It paid off because it is still being bumped heavily nearly 10 years later. After 2017’s True to Self and 2020’s A N N I V E S A R Y, he went pretty quiet though. But, over the past couple of months, he has been feeding fans on Soundcloud with “Tiller Tuesdays.” For the majority of the year he has been dropping singles and EPs and the audience has been gobbling it up. Finally, they are being rewarded with a full album from Bryson Tiller as he just announced in a trailer.

The “Don’t” hitmaker posted a wild set of visuals on his Instagram just hours ago. It incorporates the use of AI and robots, as Bryson Tiller is building a more enhanced version of himself in lab. He is fully committing to the bit by adding “Dr. Tiller” to his bio. In the caption, he explains how he has been slowly building up to this moment. “⚠ Here’s what I’ve been building for the past 3 years. Looking forward to showing the world what he’s capable of.”

Bryson Tiller Delivers "Whatever She Wants" Video

Bryson Tiller marks his triumphant comeback to the music scene with the official release of his latest single and its accompanying music video, “Whatever She Wants,” via Trapsoul/RCA Records. Originally featured on Bryson’s mixtape Slum Tiller Volume 2, the track’s overwhelmingly positive reception from fans has prompted its official release.

In “Whatever She Wants,” Bryson Tiller demonstrates his artistic evolution, showcasing growth and maturity. The decision to release the single on a Tuesday as part of his Tiller Tuesday series reflects his commitment to connecting with his audience authentically.

Crafted by Bryson Tiller and Chris Mcoy, the visually stunning music video unfolds a captivating narrative set against Miami’s vibrant nightlife and unique strip club culture. From luxury shopping to a lively night at the strip club, the video portrays Bryson’s experiences and newfound perspectives since his last project.

Bryson Tiller explains, “I didn’t want this song or the visuals to be anything like what I’ve put out before. I was inspired by Miami’s nightlife and the strip club culture for this video — a different side of me that I didn’t know existed until I experienced this particular scene.”

Bryson Tiller Returns With The Detroit-Influenced ‘Whatever She Wants’ From His Mixtape ‘Slum Tiller’

Well over a year since his last single release (2022’s “Outside“), Bryson Tiller has returned with not only a new song but also the promise of more new music to come. His new song, “Whatever She Wants,” is an upbeat, spend-it anthem that finds the Louisville native detailing all the things he’ll do for a potential paramour. The song comes from a mixtape he quietly released several months ago called Slum Tiller, which is primarily inspired by Detroit music scenes like techno and the music of J Dilla, a founding member of Slum Village. Check it out below:

“This direction of this song and video was inspired by late nights at strip clubs in Miami,” Tiller told Complex. ” was never a fan of strip clubs but after getting to know a few dancers I really wanted to create something that they could either get ready to, or dance to. This song is actually the complete opposite of the music you will find on my next album. It’s from my new mixtape series: Slum Tiller, where Detroit music is the primary inspiration.” You can watch a preview of the video below:

Tiller made his return to the spotlight in hilariously cheeky fashion, reactivating his Twitter account before realizing that the platform has undergone a (dumb) name change and proudly vowing to hold off updating it on his phone as long as possible. He also spent some time engaging with fans in an endearing, nostalgic way — you know, like how it used to be, before right-wing troll accounts could pay eight bucks to make sure you absolutely HAD to look at their idiotic, hateful spew before anything else.
