(The nomenclature overlaps too: Tiller dubbed his music “trap soul ” the Chicago MC Tree is a practitioner of “soul trap.”) The tracks are simultaneously sludgy but precise the vocalists’ delivery is frictionless and heavily indebted to Drake: any distinction between rapping and singing has dissolved. This is somber, lyrically candid music, in which getting what you want doesn’t sound much different from coming up short. “Don’t” is emblematic of the sound that dominates contemporary R&B. I was just thinking: What if a boyfriend number two came into the picture and started trying to talk to my girl?” “A lot of people think I’m playing boyfriend number two in the song, but that’s actually not the case. “At the time I was going through some things in my relationship and wasn’t doing my part,” Tiller explains. When the singer wrote his breakthrough track in the summer of 2014, he actually imagined himself as the vibe-killer. “Don’t” plays as an unusual sort of come-on: the singer calls out both the object of his desire - “girl, he only fucked you over ’cause you let him” - as well as her current beau, who is “killing the vibe.” Unexpectedly, Tiller interpolates one of Mariah Carey’s last great singles, “Shake It Off,” and injects a “skrt!” that evokes both a car’s breaks and the bawdy “skeet” ad-lib popularized by Lil Jon in the early 2000s. A dribble of percussion maintains a steady pitter-patter, shadowing his every move. You feel “Don’t” immediately: The bass skulks in first, and Tiller enters not long after, singing conversationally, if not athletically. “My friends gave me some money to buy my studio equipment, and was the first song I recorded with it. That was the last beat that I ever had to download.” “I didn’t have any beats at all,” he recalls.
Last year, Tiller downloaded the beat for “Don’t” from a website called SoundClick. “I just started mimicking what I heard and singing along to it,” he says. He learned recording by using a friend’s studio. Long before listeners were enthralled by “Don’t,” 15-year-old Tiller (he’s now 22) fell under the spell of Omarion.
#DRAKE CHILDS PLAY SOUNDCLOUD CRACKED#
Tiller signed with RCA in April, and “Don’t” recently cracked Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop airplay chart. All it takes is one track and millions of clicks, which eventually translate into a record deal and spins on traditional radio. This year, Silento, Post Malone and Tiller followed a similar trail. In 2014 alone, Dej Loaf, ILoveMakonnen and OG Maco started out as local figures and ended up as artists with national buzz. Tiller’s rapid rise - from a handful of listens to more than 50 million in under a year - is an increasingly common path for rappers and R&B singers. The popularity of “Don’t” rubbed off on the rest of Tiller’s catalog: The eight other songs on the Louisville, Kentucky, artist’s SoundCloud page have been streamed collectively another 25 million times. By the time the singer-rapper released his debut mixtape, T R A P S O U L, earlier this month, that initial offering had been streamed more than 25 million times. Needless to say, the brand is growing stronger within the hip-hop community and with Drake’s new piece everyone will be flocking to see what they can cook up.On October 9th, 2014, Bryson Tiller uploaded his brooding rap-R&B hybrid “Don’t” to SoundCloud.

The necklace features every emoji for every mood and definitely costs a pretty penny. Recently, the rapper was courtside at the Lakers Vs Rockets game and fans noticed his new iced-out necklace. Allegedly, Drake can fetch anywhere from $20 Million – $40 Million for a collection of records and he’s spending and investing it in his spare time. The album, which he hasn’t mentioned since the first 24 hours after it was released, is still crushing the Billboard charts. Drake has been living life and enjoying the fruits of his labor after releasing his highly-anticipated album, Certified Lover Boy.
