Bryson Tiller’s Ying Yang Twins-Sampling New Single Relishes Being ‘Outside’

by

Bryson Tiller has found a new decade to ransack for beats. After spending the early part of his career sampling ’90s R&B staples to sing and rap over, on his new single, “Outside,” he moves on to the early 2000s, jacking the beat to the Ying Yang Twins’ raunchy 2005 anthem “Wait (The Whisper Song)” to make his play for a wounded woman’s affections. “Hate to be your ex, know that n**** feel stupid,” he quips. “Thumbin’ through the ‘Gram, tryna figure out where you been / All he need to know is that you’re outside.”

The Louisville product has been relatively quiet of late, only recently re-emerging from musical hibernation to lend Diddy an assist on the Platinum-era pioneer’s new single, “Gotta Move On.” Tiller popped back up last week with a video on Instagram announcing his impending new single while teasing fans about a possible new project, which “we’ll talk about later,” he promised. Fans have certainly been waiting impatiently for the new album; his last full-length release, Anniversary, was released in October 2020, meaning there wasn’t really a tour for it, since “outside” was out-of-reach due to COVID-19.

In early 2021, though, he did give fans a promising update on his upcoming fourth studio album, tentatively titled Serenity. “Over the years, I realized how much f*cking music that I had for Serenity, all this different sh*t, so Serenity is now not one album, but it’s three albums,” he said during a live stream. “It’s three volumes, one is a rap album, one is an R&B album, and then one is a pop album.”

Bryson Tiller is a man of few words and generally stays out of the way. Thus, when he speaks, it causes a huge commotion among fans who are always craving new sounds from him. The Trapsoul artist appears to be gearing up for the next era of his career as Thursday (September 1) he announced that his new single will be coming next week on September 8.

In a brief Instagram reel with a sunny background, the Louisville artist greeted the fans before announcing the first single for his forthcoming album. As for the album itself, he claims that “we’ll talk about that later” which leaves things up in the air as to whether it will come out in 2022, but he did say he has been waiting for a long time for it to come out.

Regardless, it is an exciting time for his fans as he hasn’t released a traditional project since 2020’s Anniversary, though he did exude the holiday spirit in 2021 with A Different Christmas featuring Justin Bieber, Kiana Lede, and more. As for 2022, Tiller has only handed out sparse features such as joining Diddy on the June record “Gotta Move On” and Joel Curry and David Guetta on “What Would You Do?” Otherwise, the 29-year-old can be found on Twitch streaming himself playing Apex Legends or traveling the world with his family.

DJ Khaled Reveals He Climbed Bryson Tiller’s Gate To Get His Vocals On ‘Wild Thoughts’

by

DJ Khaled stopped by Drink Champs this past week to talk about how some of his biggest hits came to be. When discussing “Wild Thoughts,” his 2017 collaboration with Rihanna and Bryson Tiller, he revealed the track as we know it almost didn’t make it in time for the album.

Although Rihanna handed in her two verses and hooks in well before the deadline, Khaled remembers having to chase Tiller down to get his contributions

“I’m calling Bryson, my album comes out in like in two weeks,” he said. “‘Yo bro, I need you need to cut the vocals over. You know that Rihanna’s vocals is in, you hear that, right? Everybody’s excited.’ He’s not picking up his phone. … I need this done. I got f*ckin’ Rihanna vocals. One of my biggest records in my career. He not picking up the phone.”

Desperate to get his portion of the track, Khaled went to Tiller’s home to get the vocals in person

“He has a gate. I’m flashing my lights, honking my horns, sending texts. Nobody’s replying,” he said. “You think I’m playing with this sh*t? One thing about me, anybody know me I don’t play no games. … Eventually….Bryson comes out, they open the gate—I was already climbing the gate.”

The Drink Champs roundtable laughed, prompting Khaled to say, “You think I’m playing? Ask them. Call them. … Get their version, it might be more intense.”
