Bryson Tiller Successfully Experiments With Drill On “Ciao!”

April 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bryson Tiller has made an incredible return with his new self-titled LP. It marks his first record since 2020 with A N N I V E R S A R Y, essentially a sequel to T R A P S O U L. Both projects established his sound, which involved slow and sensual R&B with some callbacks to the 90s. With Tiller taking a large break in between albums there was a good chance that a new sonic direction was inbound. That turned out to the be case and its been paying dividends. Bryson Tiller has been winning fans over with this record, partially because of tracks like “Ciao!”

This song sees one of the many times that he experiments with a new subgenre. In this instance, Bryson is trying his hand with drill music. For us and many others, it works out for him. “Ciao!” is about Tiller moving on from toxic people, but it is mainly targeted at women. “You got a two-day trial before I take back my time and make you pay Thirty-day trial before I make my mind that it’s a waste (Yeah),” he sings on the chorus.

The beat is also a great part about this track. A few different creative minds were a part of this banger, including the album’s executive producer Charlie Heat and FNZ. With drill, the beats tend to be darker in tone. However, the instrumental is more colorful and light-hearted in a sense with trumpet sections. It comes across as a nice contrast seeing and gives off a triumphant tone as Bryson cuts ties with this woman he is over. Be sure to check it out with the link above.

Return policy, she can’t be mine (Nah, nah)

Bryson Tiller Teams With Victoria Monet For “Persuasion” Off New Self-Titled Album

April 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bryson Tiller’s new eponymous album is here featuring 19 songs in total, counting the bonus effort, “Whatever She Wants.” Across that tracklist, perhaps the most noteworthy feature is Victoria Monet, who appears on “Persuasion.” Together, she and Tiller sing through a flirtatious encounter between two people. The song also made it onto this week’s edition of our R&B Season playlist.

After its release, Monet thanked Tiller for the opportunity on social media. “Thank you so much for having me on your album @brysontiller,” she wrote on Twitter. “I’ve been a big fan and I’m honored to have more music with you.” Check out the track below.

Bryson Tiller’s Self-Titled Album Is Here

Tiller previously discussed his goals with the project during an interview with Billboard, ahead of its release. “The Bryson Tiller album, I wanted to show people the many things I’m capable of,” he told the outlet. “There’s different types of vibes on here. I can take it to many different places, make so many new fans, and try new things.” He added: “My main goal with this album is for the masses to hear everything I’m capable of doing. So they give me a chance and stick around as fans. My main goal is that everybody hears it and my guarantee is that you’ll love at least one song from this album. I can guarantee that.”

Victoria Monet Thanks Bryson Tiller For The Opportunity

To that point, Tiller also told Billboard that the song, “Calypso,” most embodies the work he’s put into storytelling. The rest of the tracklist for the album comprises primarily featureless cuts but Clara La San makes an appearance on “Random Access Memory (RAM).” Be on the lookout for further updates on Bryson Tiller on HotNewHipHop.

Quotable Lyrics:

He’s starin’ at me like he want this persuasion
And I’m lookin’ right back at him like I want some of that decision tonight
He asked if he could grab all on my— absolutely
I’m in no opposition so I’m gonna sit on that decision tonight

Bryson Tiller Debuts A New Era On Self-titled Album

April 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bryson Tiller’s claim to fame was his debut album T R A P S O U L back in 2015. However, this new project over here, his self-titled LP, could overtake the throne for his best work. The Louisville, Kentucky rapper and singer has been taking some time to conjure up something fresh and diverse and that is exactly what this record offers up.

This was probably the smartest move Bryson could have made. While his first album is considered a modern R&B classic, the sound would grow a little stale on True to Self and A N N I V E R S A R Y. There was still quality on both, but adding some spice to the instrumentals and cadences is a welcome sight. Leading up to Bryson Tiller’s self-titled album he put out “Whatever She Wants” and “Stay Gold,” as part of his SLUM TILLER series that dropped on Soundcloud. Those projects were a part of his Tiller Tuesdays release schedule that began earlier this year.

Both were fan-favorites and now they make it onto the album. Additionally, Bryson dropped a third track, “CALYPSO,” which has also been a success. The progressive instrumental that mixes dancehall and R&B brings a fun and loose listening experience from beginning to end. Those two adjectives can describe the journey from track one to track 19. Bryson Tiller is back in full force and with an enticing new direction in the process.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new album, Bryson Tiller, by Bryson Tiller? Is this his best body of work ever, why or why not? What songs are you gravitating toward right now? Who had the better feature on the record? What is the best song on the album? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

It was originally released on the aforementioned platform but got a slight rework for Spotify and other streaming services. With all of this hype around his return, Bryson Tiller has recently done the right thing by bringing out another single “Calypso,”

Listen To “Calypso” By Bryson Tiller

This might be one of his best songs in recent memory, as the beat from Michael “Black Mic” Williams, che, Bass Charity, and LEO N, is outstanding. The song will get you on your feet and dancing immediately. There are so many layers such as jungle-esque drums, a gorgeous string section, and hard-hitting synths. It sounds busy but everything just melds together seamlessly. Of course, Bryson is bringing his smooth and sensual voice to the table while he tries to win back a love interest. Two singles in and Bryson Tiller is making a run for T R A P S O U L as his best body of work.

Just like magic, they playin’ our song from way back when we fell in love
She put down her jacket and gave me her phone, said, “I can’t stay, but just hold up”
Movin’ through the crowd, almost dropped my drink, girl, we in LA, that shit ain’t cheap
She said, “You ain’t changed one bit”
Put my hands on her hips and said, “Just focus on me”

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

March 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

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.”

A new single, “Calypso,” is out now as well.

Today in Hip-Hop History: Run-D.M.C. Dropped Their Self Titled Debut Album 39 Years Ago

March 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

On this date in 1984, the Kings from Queens released their first self-titled album on Def Jam Recordings under Rush Management.

This monumental album put Daryl McDaniels (DMC), Joseph Simmons (DJ Run), and Jason Mizell (Jam Master Jay) on the map, and launched one of the most successful careers Hip-Hop has ever seen.

With songs like “Sucker MCs,” “It’s Like That,” “Hard Times” and “Rock Box,” the record was an accurate reflection of the lives of three ambitious kids from Hollis, Queens in New York City in a time before the crack epidemic.

Simmons and McDaniels used to hang around Two-Fifths Park in Hollis in late 1980, hoping to rap for the local DJs who performed and competed there. The most popular one just happened to be Mizell, then known as “Jazzy Jase” because of his flashy wardrobe and b-boy attitude. Eventually, Simmons and McDaniels rapped in front of Mizell at the park, and the rest is history.

As a group, they soon strapped on a pair of Adidas, threw on a rope chain and topped it off with a Kangol hat. Little did they know, they were crafting a signature style, one that has stood the test of time and is widely recognized around the world.

Run-D.M.C. went on to release six more albums, including 1985’s King of Rock and 1986’s Raising Hell. Tragically, Mizell was gunned down on October 30, 2002, at his recording studio in Queens. Countless fans left Adidas sneakers, albums and flowers for the legendary DJ outside of the studio, where the murder occurred. The homicide has yet to be solved.

Run-D.M.C. was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009, making them one of only two Hip Hop acts given that honor at the time.

Masego’s Self-Titled 14-Track Album Has Arrived: Listen

March 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Throughout his career, Masego has cooked up a solid roster of collaborative releases, such as “Mystery Lady” with Don Toliver and “Silver Tongue Devil” featuring Shenseea. For his latest full-length album, however, the Jamaican has opted to switch things up in favour of a featureless release. His 14-track self-titled effort landed this New Music Friday (March 3), and it’s already got listeners singing his favourites.

The “Tadow” hitmaker preceded Masego with several singles, including “You Never Visit Me” and “Say You Want Me.” Additionally, he poured his Gemini duality into his “Two Sides” track, which received an accompanying music video a few weeks back. “Two sides, choose your fighter, I’ll be your type, it’s a fine line, answer a Gemini, Gemini,” he sings to the camera.

Masego Reveals His Gemini Duality in “Two Sides” Visual

Now that he’s got a collection of new music that’s been shared with the world, Masego is once again ready to head out on the road. On March 13th, his first show will take place in Santa Ana, California at The Observatory. Afterward, the 29-year-old has booked stages in Miami, Boston, New York, and Dallas before he wraps up the You Never Visit Me tour in April.

Ahead of his new album’s release, the singer’s Instagram feed lit up with a message of gratitude for his loyal followers. “Thank you to anyone that drives, flies, and journeys to watch me perform. Tour is my favourite part about being an artist. Pure artistry and I promise I’ll give my all every night as I will with anything I pour myself into.”

Today In Hip Hop History: The Sugar Hill Gang Released Their Self Titled Debut LP 43 Years Ago

February 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

This particular passage takes us on a journey all the way back to February 7, 1980, when The Sugarhill Gang, comprised of Michael “Wonder Mike” Wright, Guy “Master Gee” O’Brien, and the late Henry “Big Bank Hank” Jackson – all of whom hailing from Englewood, New Jersey – dropped their self-titled debut album, Sugarhill Gang, which is widely regarded as the very first full-length Hip Hop album to ever be released.

Distributed via Sugar Hill Records – founded by husband and wife Joe and Sylvia Robinson along with Milton Malden – and at 39:17 in length, the project featured six records, including “Rapper’s Delight.” Ranked No. 251 on Rolling Stone Magazine‘s “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time” list, while not exactly the first track to feature rapping – Fatback Band‘s “King Tim III (Personality Jock),” released six months prior, is actually credited for such – “Rapper’s Delight” is however typically considered to be the first song that popularized Hip Hop, and was also the first to become a Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Today in Hip-Hop History: Whodini Dropped Their Self Titled Debut Album 39 Years Ago

July 8, 2022 by newhiphopnews

On this date in 1983, pioneering rap trio Whodini, who then was sans DJ Grandmaster D, released their self-titled debut album Whodini on the Jive Records imprint.

Produced primarily by Grammy-nominated British producer and composer Thomas Dolby, Whodini’s first album never really saw any commercial success, however, the album’s “Magic Wand” track did climb to #11 on the Dance Club Songs and number 45 on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs while the Willesden Dodges-produced track “The Haunted House of Rock” peaked at number 27 on the Dance Club Songs and number 55 on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs.

The eight-track album’s duration is less than 45 minutes, something that was virtually a no-no in all genres of music during the early 80s, however, as one of Hip Hop’s first-ever full-length albums, the duration for each song is extensively longer than the average Hip Hop song today.

Salute to Jalil, Ecstacy(RIP) and Grandmaster D for their timeless contribution to Hip Hop history!
