3:39
you done prior to that um nothing really
3:42
I um well actually I'll take that back I
3:44
did a mixtape called Killer Instinct and
3:47
um at that time I was just just like
3:50
rapping and singing over you know pe
3:52
people's beats and whatnot and then I
3:54
like did a couple original songs um
3:57
local well I don't know if you can call
3:59
producer but uh label owner um found out
4:04
who I was signed me and um you know
4:06
nothing really happened though when I
4:07
was signing him you know it was just a
4:09
whole lot of like you need to make
4:12
something a single you need to make a
4:13
single you know what I mean that type of
4:15
stuff I was still in Louisville I a go
4:17
nowhere to see nothing um uh but yeah
4:21
that's kind of really how it started for
4:22
me that ended up falling apart and I was
4:25
just chilling for a while and then the
4:27
first person I met in the industry was
4:29
uh was timling through my brother Rich
4:31
my brother rich gretto and um yeah he um
4:35
made that call it was yeah but you know
4:37
timl he wasn't really interested in my
4:39
music at that time this was super early
4:41
like before
4:43
D that's the part I want to know about
4:45
what happened before Don cuz Don is the
4:47
one that got you to call from timberin
4:49
and told you to quit your job or
4:50
something something like that right what
4:52
he tell you yeah so what happened was um
4:55
like I said I was signed to that dude
4:57
and you know I remember I was um I was
4:59
working at UPS and I actually stopped
5:02
music for a little bit cuz I had my um
5:04
first daughter okay um and I was just
5:07
like yeah I need I need to like get like
5:09
focus on a real job you know what I mean
5:11
so I went got a job at UPS and I was
5:13
working at a moving company too and um
5:16
you know I just found myself like just I
5:19
don't know I just didn't feel like music
5:20
was that important no more and I just
5:22
didn't want to be like one of those
5:23
dudes who was like trying to make it and
5:25
like I don't know I just felt corny at
5:27
that time so I was just like you know
5:28
what I'm going just focus on work and
5:29
just live a regular life and then um and
5:33
then I um I met my boy Rich and he had
5:36
took me to meet Timlin like I said early
5:38
before don't before Timlin even knew
5:40
anything about me probably didn't even
5:41
like my music at all at that time sorry
5:44
and then um after that uh yeah I
5:48
remember getting a call I remember
5:50
getting a call about um from the the
5:53
producer the record label producer I was
5:55
telling you about and you know it was
5:57
some issues with the whole contract I'm
5:59
sure yeah cuz he saw a picture of me of
6:01
timling and he was just like nah hold on
6:03
let's talk about it but he had already
6:05
agreed to like Release Me From the
6:06
contract which was crazy yeah um after
6:09
that um I was just like oh no I'm good
6:11
bro I'm I'm I'm going on strike I'm not
6:13
making no music ever again I'm good and
6:16
he didn't believe me but I I stuck to my
6:19
kept my word I didn't make no music for
6:21
like two years after that then he
6:22
eventually released me and then once he
6:24
did release me I was like I was going
6:26
through and I was like you know what it
6:28
might be time to like try music and then
6:31
the first song I made was don't don't
6:33
and [ __ ] the story of trap Soul damn it
6:35
that was a beautiful ass story story for
6:38
you you know man it's a it's it's a
6:40
story of believing in yourself too and
6:42
and knowing your value and and not um
6:45
putting yourself in a predicament you
6:46
had to wherewithal you had to self value
6:48
enough even though it sounds like you
6:50
were going through a lot of [ __ ] at that
6:52
time you had to wherewithal to to say
6:55
nah you're not going to force me into
6:57
this situation I'm not going to make
6:59
more music until you got it to where you
7:01
needed it during that time that was a
7:04
very murky time in the music business
7:06
too was a lot of changing happening
7:08
streaming in the whole nine personally
7:10
where were you psychologically and
7:12
mentally at during these
7:14
times cuz you just had a baby right all
7:17
right and then the record label thing
7:19
wasn't going well you know how did you
7:21
navigate through that cuz 10 years later
7:24
citizens we're celebrating the 10year
7:26
anniversary of this very same project
7:28
that's right people call you the the
7:31
Trailblazer of this generation and of
7:34
this genre you know and you're telling
7:36
us about a time where you were the total
7:38
opposite of all of that how did you and
7:40
this is the story of many artists so
7:42
what what was it you how were you able
7:44
to buckle down and mentally make it
7:46
through that
7:48
um it was tough it was definitely tough
7:51
I was going through it and you know
7:53
there were times where you know don't
7:54
would be on Soundcloud and it was you
7:56
know going up slowly like I was at work
7:59
at John's and just I remember just
8:01
seeing the plays just go up up up up and
8:03
I was just like I thought somebody was
8:05
like pranking me or something like I
8:06
thought somebody likes bought some plays
8:08
I was like yo what's going on why do I
8:10
have like 8,000 plays on this song I
8:12
never had that many plays on the song
8:13
before and then I remember when it hit
8:15
10,000 I was like yo something is
8:17
happening right now I don't know what's
8:18
happening but something's happening and
8:20
I feel like every every single week
8:22
after that every week something really
8:25
crazy was happening and it just happened
8:27
for like two years straight you know
8:29
know up until you know my deal with RCA
8:32
so um it was pretty easy to like
8:34
maintain my you know mental I mean don't

8:38
moments where I was just like stressed
8:40

10:16
the best you was one you get but I did
10:18

10:19
like just to get me through the day like
10:21
not making songs but just like singing
10:22
songs like singing the same song I Knew
10:25
over and over until the work was over
10:27
mhm look look at him now now man it's
10:29
just a story of a of a star you don't
10:32
Embrace that I don't know if you Embrace
10:34
that or not I mean you you get a lot of
10:36
U critical Acclaim for this emphasis on
10:41
critical yeah yeah you get a lot of
10:43
Acclaim all right you know for what you
10:46
brought into your contributions to music
10:49
and to particular genres and just to
10:52
this era do you Embrace that I know you
10:55
talked about wanting to reach pop status
10:58
you know you got to embrace that at some
10:59
point though do you Embrace then yeah
11:03
yeah I definitely um I'm I'm I'm with it
11:05
now man you know what I've learned as
11:07
long as as people are talking about me
11:09
that's really all that matters at the
11:10
end of the day don't make you saying
11:11
something good something bad you know as
11:13
long as you saying BR and
11:15
to what I appreciate about you as well
11:18
is I like that your growth as an artist
11:21
because you've also said as much success
11:23
as trap Soul has brought to you but that
11:26
Bryson tiller is not trap soul trap soul
11:28
is Bry tiller you don't want that to be
11:30
your singular identity and with this
11:32
self-titled project we have so much
11:35
versatility coming from you and the
11:37
level of confidence where you can even
11:40
say I know there's going to be folks who
11:41
don't like certain songs and who
11:43
gravitate towards others doesn't matter
11:45
because it's true to you it's cathartic
11:47
for you that level of of confidence and
11:51
I know you've said too that it's tied to
11:53
your grandmother's transition when I
11:55
think about where confidence comes for
11:58
some people
11:59
it can be reading about their Divine
12:03
Design Through the Bible right
12:05
confidence can come
12:07
from just honoring your commitments and
12:10
that enhances your self-image some
12:12
people gain confidence from a gym
12:14
routine what are some of the specific
12:17
actions that have built up the
12:19
confidence of Bry and Tiller
12:22
today man uh
12:27
definitely h
12:29
you know I feel like being in a studio
12:32
is like definitely like being in the gym
12:34
so I was like you know what first and
12:36
foremost I need to be in the studio a
12:37
lot more I need to exercise my lyrical
12:39
ability so um you know during when I
12:42
made um my third album anniversary there
12:45
was uh it was Co it was Co time so I
12:48
couldn't go on tour right like you know
12:50
I would you would normally do after you
12:52
drop album so I was like you know what
12:53
this is perfect time for me I'm going to
12:54
make as much music as I possibly could
12:56
made another mixtap I made a sequel to
12:58
that mixtape I you about cuz it was the
13:00
10 year anniversary of that so I was
13:01
like I got to make a sequel to this um
13:04
and then I made a Christmas project and
13:06
then I was just like doing a bunch of
13:07
features and stuff and I was like I'm
13:09
just going to keep keep working and then
13:10
over time I and then I did um the deluxe
13:15
for that for that um anniversary album
13:17
and I made a song called like clockwork
13:19
and that was just the moment where I
13:21
realized I was like you know what like
13:23
it just really don't even matter like
13:25
man like I'm just I just believe in
13:28
myself so much and at this this point
13:29
like you know there's nothing I I promis
13:32
my granny when she died like you know
13:34
like I day soon as she died I went out
13:36
on the water and I just like pray to
13:38
Scott and I was just like M I promise
13:39
you I will never doubt myself ever again
13:43

13:59

14:01
like we just threw words in that's
14:03
that's how it works right okay okay so
14:06
you made that promise to your
14:07
grandmother yeah I made a prom I was
14:08
like I don't care what they say man I'm
14:10
not about to let nobody convince me that
14:12
I'm not good at what I do and they
14:14
definitely spend every single day of
14:16
their lives trying to do that they've
14:17
been trying to do that for years what's
14:19
your grandmother's name you like to
14:21
signify three times Charlene Charlene
14:24
Charlene Charlene mine was Elsie she
14:27
passed last year too okay got a lot of
14:29
similarities um I like that this man
14:33
believes wholeheartedly in himself we
14:35
got Bryson tiller here we're going to
14:37
open up the phone lines 888 742
14:40
3345 talk to him the new album is called
14:43
Bryson tiller shay4 five that why your
14:46
voice like that remix
14:50
yeah I see your reflection in the mirror
14:52
I can see right through
14:54
you Bryson if you want to use that lyric
14:56
go ahead I don't need credit
14:59
I just say things randomly if you feel
15:01
the vibe man go ahead pick up off of it
15:03
how do you feel about people writing
15:04
songs for you uh I used to hate it I
15:07
used to never be open to that like I
15:10
used to say something it it's kind of
15:12
stupid but I used to be like yo I'm not
15:14
can't let nobody write songs for me I
15:15
feel like that's like wearing another
15:16
man's draws like even if I watch him
15:19
it's still going to be his draws right
15:21
on you but then hold on I grew up a
15:23
little bit and I was just thinking about
15:24
it I was just like man some of the best
15:26
songs ever in um in history were
15:29
collaboration collaborative effort and I
15:31
was just like um you know another thing
15:34
too is just like um that ain't really
15:36
playing the game for me to just be like
15:38
Oh I'm going just write everything
15:39
myself I did that for three albums
15:41
straight write everything myself didn't
15:43
take no songs from nobody um and I
15:46
realized I was like you know what maybe
15:47
this is why I ain't prospering you know
15:49
what I mean cuz I'm over here trying to
15:50
do it by myself and I'm it's me versus
15:53
this artist and all 50 of his writers
15:55
you know what I mean that he works with
15:57
you know every like all of them you know
15:59
what I'm saying so it's just like how
16:01
will I ever win you know what I'm saying
16:03
um or how will I even like be considered
16:06
in the same you know uh being stand in
16:08
the same room as him or whatever so yeah
16:10
I'm I'm I'm open to it now that's called
16:12
growth ladies and gentlemen I ain't mad
16:14
at that when I look at the album or
16:16
listen to it outside you sample yin-yang
16:18
twins on that right
16:20
yeah um under was something we
16:24
played that's more of a a acoustic joint
16:28
assume the position is kind of like
16:29
playful rock and roll you got all these
16:32
different styles I feel like is Chris
16:34
Brown on one of those songs too writing
16:37
singing
16:39
nope it's just Victoria Monet but the
16:42
attention song Chris ain't in the
16:43
background no no no oh okay all right I
16:46
don't know I just hear stuff man um go
16:49
ahead no I'm just GNA say uh Chris Brown
16:51
is somebody that I you know he's
16:53
definitely part of my musical DNA you
16:55
know what I'm saying and I've listen to
16:56
him for years and you know study his
16:58
catalog
16:59
big super hugee fan of Chris so you know
17:01
what I mean you you'll hear those
17:03
similarities for sure you know what I
17:04
mean here and there okay I love it man
17:06
um I I want to I'm gonna let Mike jump
17:09
in but I was listening to Jermaine dpri
17:11
speak recently who is somebody when I
17:13
say his name please Round of Applause
17:15
man I have nothing but he's so important
17:19
to this music business this music
17:21
culture and ways that I don't feel fully
17:23
recognized but he talked about the
17:24
importance of an album is this about the
17:27
album sales thing I don't know about the
17:29
album Sal okay no no no just the
17:31
importance of um make if it is the album
17:35
sale thing derogatory oh for me yeah I
17:38
mean I just I heard him say something
17:40
like something along the lines of like
17:42
you know back in the day and I believe
17:44
him too oh yeah well that's the same
17:46
conversation word it was okay yeah but I
17:49
don't believe in that though like I I
17:50
believe in what like I don't think you
17:53
know he was back in the day if you only
17:55
sold 20,000 it was like you know a lot
17:57
of people be thinking about album sells
17:58
and like I don't I don't necessarily
18:00
think it's like you have to sell like a
18:02
million copes first week or you're a
18:04
failure like what if you
18:06
sell um you know 10,000 for 10,000 weeks
18:10
straight you know what I'm saying y
18:12
different way to look at it Jill Scott's
18:14
um I don't know first album um she sold
18:17
like 5,000 who is Jill Scott I think it
18:19
was like for a year you know on Hidden
18:22
Beach but then it start picking up and
18:24
then it became what it became it was
18:27
difficult though if you didn't have the
18:28
numbers back that it wasn't so much that
18:30
it's a failure creatively but you
18:32
couldn't unlock the the doors to the
18:34
industry to get people like Puerto Rico
18:37
you know the budgets for people like
18:39
that to push your music but I I was
18:41
going to go more for to the making of a
18:44
album as a full body of work a lot of
18:46
folks bypass that now I'm just going to
18:48
keep dropping singles do you think it's
18:50
important to drop albums obviously you
18:52
drop albums yeah definitely definitely I
18:55
like to see how people um can put a body
18:57
of work together you know like I I mean
19:00
I respect people who do it the other way
19:01
too who don't really care they just like
19:04
long as I get a couple it's all it's all
19:05
it's all that matters but those people
19:07
who like to like add different layers um
19:10
to their album and they just think of it
19:12
like in a creative way like like that I
19:14
respect them a lotum I respect the album
19:16
artist out there respect the album
19:18
artist Mike Muse you want to jump he's a
19:20
if he was a singer he would be an album
19:22
artist Mike Muse Mike Muse abely artist
19:26
go for it I love Concepts and themes and
19:28
thesis um first of all shout out to the
19:31
American manufacturing conversation that
19:32
we're just having I love manufacturing I
19:34
love assembly lines the whole idea of
19:36
the d uh I I love that that's a b rock
19:39
of America um but I have a question for
19:41
you I was really stuck on the single
19:43
don't and you tell them the story about
19:45
how when you were with the old label
19:46
made the pressure to create the right
19:48
signal to to go and then you took some
19:50
time off what was it about don't that
19:53
you connected with in the writing and
19:54
the singing process that you believe
19:55
made it such a success to where you
19:58
couldn't have success with your other
19:59
label mate
20:01
previously I think the biggest thing was
20:03
like I was like I'm about to switch up
20:04
my whole vibe like when I ended my
20:08
Hiatus I was like I got to do something
20:10
different because one I'm bored with
20:12
whatever I was doing before I just I was
20:14
like I can't be too much of a singer I
20:16
can't be too much of a rapper I'm going
20:18
just try to like find the line in
20:20
between and um that was how don't came
20:22
about so um I don't know I just think
20:25
that maybe that has a lot to do with it
20:28
um connecting with yourself more because
20:29
the reason I'm asking that is because a
20:30
lot of artists are looking for that one
20:32
single it's going to change their life
20:33
right it's going to take them away from
20:35
that 9 to5 be able to take care of their
20:37
family right and so I'm wondering did
20:39
you start leaning into your own identity
20:41
your agency like did you start
20:42
connecting with the lyrics
20:46
more is um I don't know how this might
20:49
sound but like honestly I just started
20:50
connecting with God more like I was
20:53
really having conversations with him
20:56
every single day and just like just like
20:59
not just like you know sometimes you got
21:01
your surf surface level prayers you're
21:02
like Yo God thank you for this thank you
21:04
for that thank you for you know being
21:05
here you just like run through it or
21:07
whatever but like sometimes I would sit
21:08
there and I actually have conversations
21:10
with them for like 15 minutes at UPS
21:12
especially in them trucks all the time
21:14
you know I was just sit there and have
21:15
conversations with him and there was a
21:17
moment where I hit rock bottom
21:19
completely and I was just like I don't
21:21
know what to do and I was like crying on
21:24
the floor um and on on the carpet or
21:26
whatever just trying to figure out life
21:29
and I don't know man I can't I can't
21:31
even really take credit or think about
21:33
um my writing or or or being me like I
21:36
got to give it to God you know there was
21:38
I read an article one time that said
21:40
something like you know it takes a lot
21:42
of pressure off artists to um to treat
21:45
genius like it's not really in us it's
21:47
more something that like takes over us
21:49
or something like that so I was just
21:50
like I just think at that moment genius
21:53
you know decided to you know it chose me
21:57
for a second you know what I'm saying
21:58
and um yeah I like how you said genius
22:01
chose me that's a t-shirt yeah and that
22:04
helps with humility as well because
22:06
there's always going to be ups and downs
22:07
and that also allows you to give
22:09
yourself Grace if you do have a period
22:12
where there is Riders block yeah do you
22:15
have when that happens do you have any
22:17
rituals to get out of it or do you just
22:19
accept it walk away that's my favorite
22:21
ritual go like to the beach or something
22:24
go like live some life I always tell
22:26
everybody when they ask like how do I
22:27
get overriders Block just like don't
22:28
even do it like and there's some people
22:30
that might disagree with that um but I
22:32
feel like trying to sit in there and um
22:35
force it it's just it never come out
22:37
right and you'll be don't get me wrong I
22:39
had some moments where I had writers
22:41
block and got a couple hits out of it
22:42
you know what I mean but like it and if
22:44
you in it for that then you know by all
22:47
means I guess stay in the studio but if
22:48
like you really want to write something
22:49
that's meaningful and you can't seem to
22:52
do that in the studio then I would just
22:54
walk away you know come back to it
22:56
Bryson tiller man I can't believe he's
22:57
sitting here trying to act like it's
22:59
cool and normal uh uh the new album is

time but there is no way to go back in
24:05

like I never performed before but like I
28:27
it really felt like a talent show every
28:29
time I went out there and not like a a
28:31
professional right it just felt like
28:34
people were just there to judge me to
28:35
see if I was you know good or not you
28:37
know and I was thinking about that every
28:38
time I went on stage and I was just
28:40
