Bryson Tiller fans rejoice, we have a new album on the way! Yes, after nearly four years without one, the Kentucky R&B savant is dropping a self-titled LP on April 5. The veteran posted this announcement on his Instagram moments ago and it is safe to say people are amped. Big Sean, Che Ecru, KYLE, and others showed their excitement for the project in the comments section for the trailer too.

At this moment in time, we have gotten tons of material from Dr. Tiller on Soundcloud courtesy of “Tiller Tuesdays.” However, only one track, “Whatever She Wants,” is the only single for the album. 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.

Quotable Lyrics:

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

by

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 post shared by Dr. Tiller (@brysontiller)

After the incredibly creative trailer, Bryson reveals that the name of the LP and its release date. It will be a self-titled offering out on April 5. What is also worth noting is that Charlie Heat will be an executive producer, so you know the beats will be heat (pun intended). So far, we have one single for the album which is “Whatever She Wants” which has been a smashing success. But, Tiller wants to show that he has a little more to give out before the album drops. A new single, “Calypso,” is out now as well.

What are your thoughts on this album trailer for Bryson Tiller’s self-titled project? Is this going to be his best tape to date, why or why not? How do you feel about the implementation of AI in the trailer? Does this get you excited for the record? Who would you want to see featured on it?

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

Screen Shot 2023 03 27 at 7.57.25 AM

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

by

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.

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

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

Screen Shot 2022 07 08 at 9.04.01 AM

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!
