never been up here no he's never been there before we popping out never I met Bryson once somewhere where was we at when we met Bryson I don't remember I don't remember maybe that wasn't him maybe it wasn't him it was a radio show I think a radio show good morning to you sir how are you brother morning welcome would you consider yourself an introvert uh yeah sometimes yeah sometimes yeah all right yeah cuz I feel like you don't pop out nowhere I do man but that's a common misconception but you know I'll be outside okay you deal with anxiety like I do do I deal with anxiety yeah yeah so you don't want to be around people I understand it depends on you know where I'm at yeah yeah what about this morning this morning right now in this very morning no no I'm chilling positive you want to be here Bryson yeah yeah of course want you win if you need help I want to start from the from from the beginning of Bryon tiller how did you how did you get on how did you get your deal how did you get signed for people that don't know for people that don't know how to get signed I got signed um to um RCA through my guy tan and um you know I just basically dropped a song on Soundcloud you know it blew up and was just taking off like every week it was just like growing like crazy and then uh yeah I just got a lot of phone calls from a lot of different people and you know RCA is where I went with that's pretty simple do do do you do you still care about about music Ron no really not really to be honest with you I do love music but uh I was just telling somebody the other day it's kind of like a a relationship you know like certain relationships you know you put so much into it and you know if you don't uh if you're not getting nothing out of it you feel like you got to step out or get a little side piece something like that right and that's kind of how I feel about yeah yeah side piece yeah yeah I've been designing my own game for about um that's what the shirt is but I've been designing my own game for about three years now so I've been I've been having a lot of yeah I just I love it you know it warms my heart every time I work on it I'm super happy just a a great thing for me you know a few weeks ago uh you know Nala Simone she's a DJ up here and she was playing one of your records and she was like yo you got you had an album out and I was like he got an album and that's what made me ask do Bryson even care cuz it seemed like it wasn't any effort to promote the album it don't feel like it was real no real marketing behind it know was crazy I just saw something the other today actually it said something about one of my favorite movies all time actually not one of my my favorite movie all time The Iron Giant uh flopped in the box office because uh it wasn't really promoted like that and uh it's a classic and it's my favorite movie which is crazy and then just there's a interesting parallel there I'm just like damn you know I kind of I probably should promote my [ __ ] more you know think I was going to ask would you having such big records and such a core following is it your reasoning not to I want to say be a bigger artist cuz your your your music is huge but sometimes I feel like the face is not as big as the music yeah that's definitely yeah um I don't know man sometimes I want to be a bigger artist and I'm just like you know I get on stage and you know it's like a lot of people you know all the cell phone lights and whatnot I'm like dang man could I could I do this you know for a living like forever and then there's other moments where I'm just like hell no what don't you like about the music industry oh man don't get me started don't get me started huh no it's a it's a lot there a lot that I don't like about the the music industry um that I'm I'm trying to get used to I didn't I didn't like this this is one of the first things I didn't like about the music industry just like inter media period just like just The Breakfast Club in general no no everybody everybody's no but just everything about but there's so many different things just even the relationship between artists like you know what I mean it be so many like beefs and [ __ ] like you know what I mean people that don't even know about it like I don't know it's just weird man trying to talk to people and I felt like coming into the industry you know I think a lot of the celebrities that I meet you know forget that like I literally was a 22 year old kid coming out of Papa Johns and UPS into just being in the room with all these people I was like super nervous like you said anxiety um and I feel like maybe some of them it might ER rub some of them the wrong way and I just I feel like I ain't heard from them since you know what I mean sometimes I feel like a lot of people was rocking with me um that's one thing that I realized like people like Fame really is like a thing like clout is really a thing for some people like if you Cloud it up you got a lot of Fame they want to be next to you you know what I mean but the moment anything shifts it's like they ain't picking up the phone they don't hit you up they don't care they you know just they just on so did you have an idea of what you thought the industry was going to be before you got into it I did I was just like oh man this is dope you know I'm dope in music you know I'm about to meet other people who's dope in music and we all going to be cool this is going to be great and I got here and it just it just wasn't dead at all was just you know be people that just be having like Envy you know no pun attended but like you know they be envious or you know how how quickly you came up you know cuz I came up pretty quickly and I felt like there was a lot of people that was envious to that and they could I could just tell about the way they they they talk to me the way they treated me you know what I mean other artists yeah like who you know I ain't going to you know a lot of think we should I think we should tell the truth and shame the devil today I feel you man I would but you know at the same time I'm just like I I would just hope that they would you know change but you know I think a lot of ignore text messages calls you know and for me it ain't about like I think some of these people they get so caught up in like oh man everybody just want to talk to me cuz I'm me and it it's like sometimes you know I was just an artist who needed advice so badly and I felt like a 10-minute conversation with one of these people who was like close to me or at least pretended to be close to me when I came in the industry would have helped me so much because like I was stressed out you know what I mean after my first album reading all these bad reviews and whatnot which one trap on trap love trap my this dude over there right now is bricked up you been bricked up for two days I'm not even joking bricked up for two days oh my godon took walked in here just now was like I'm not going to lie I'm kind of nervous oh man why you do that am I lying El li no it's the truth but not even that like you know we when we do stuff we have people that do research he was like I'm doing the research guy never done this that's how much people love trap much love to you bro but trapo was a no skip like I've never even seen bad reviews from that that's still my favorite one you didn't see that until until when like like a year after no that was an in inant I'm not hearing that man people got amnesia I don't I I saw the [ __ ] I was there complex I saw the bad reviews I heard I saw it all but doesn't that make the win better the fact that people slept but you got thing I was 22 and I just I didn't understand that you know what I'm saying like I was young and I just I took that as like oh my God like I had you know uh impostor syndrome for like six years after that depressed sad like didn't even like whenever I go into studio trying to like make songs and [ __ ] I just wasn't feeling it you know nothing that I was saying the way way I was like I had built up so much uh um man just so much energy before trap Soul um and I was just so hyped and I was nervous cuz I was like man it's my first album I don't know what's going to happen you know what I mean and um when it came out and then I saw all the negative stuff it just confirmed all the things all the bad things that I thought was going to happen and I was just like wow yeah it might be over for me but then like a year later people started to deem it like all the stuff that y'all saying like you know in classic blah blah blah no skips and all I'm just like dang for real but I didn't even really realize it until two years later um so yeah I don't know man I I didn't get to live in that world that that y'all lived in you know of like it being great I didn't get to live in that and um yeah that was the worst part when it okay yeah so is that with this new album now that you titled you know self Bryson tiller is do you get into that into the album like everything that CU this this is about you I'm assuming because it's Bryson tiller his name Bryon tiller no no no I don't really talk about no person stuff on there like that you know um everything's pretty I would say surface surface level for the most part um yeah I would say everything's pretty service level just something that stuff that most people could relate to but I get that like the extra personal stuff is the stuff that people relate to the most but um oh yeah I love the record persuasion by the way yeah than Victoria my [ __ ] I like the way you use words hey man I got you have he he uses different words to describe [ __ ] and dick Victoria Monae I I got to thank her for that man yeah absolutely yeah yeah it was she's super talented so is that what took so long you were uh you weren't feeling confident with the music at that time cuz for a minute it took a long time to come back out with some music it took a long super long time that was exactly what it was um um 2020 actually uh when I my grandma passed that made me be like huh I thank you bro um that was what made me be like all right what am I doing cuz I made her so many promises like she was like baby can you do this for me can you do that and I was just like I don't know you know you know money I don't know the music I got to kind of watch it right now what promises did she want what did she ask she wanted some new teeth you know what I mean she wanted um she wanted a new car and I remember I bought her a used car just cuz I was nervous about the future I was like I don't know what's going to happen I don't even believe in myself no more I don't think I'm going to make music no more um and your money [ __ ] up n my money money was yeah it was kind of [ __ ] up okay okay you know I ain't never been broke but you know since could 30 grand for some teeth is what you said no I could afford I could definitely cuz I look at the money in my bank account like times so I'm just like you know every time you know I'm just like every time I spend I'm just shaving down how much you know cuz I like look at the year expenses and I'm like dang I don't know so uh yeah not it heard um me doubting myself is what prevented me from um doing any of those things for her so anyways when she passed I was like what am I doing like all these promises I didn't get to keep told her I was going to do it but I just couldn't do it because I was doubting myself so at that moment I was like all right you know um I made this album called anniversary which is like a um paying homage to my um first album trap so and uh just to for a couple reasons to show people that you can't go back to you know people always talk about make trap so to and do just like that's that's you can't I can't do that you know what I mean a lot of people can't do that um so uh even if I to brought like some of the old songs from trapo you know what I mean that didn't make trap so but anyways that was like my fresh out the hospital bed album you know what I mean I was like all right let me learn how to walk again and just get back into it and then um I started doing a lot start making I made mixtape Christmas music and then I was just like all right you know it's time to time to make another album and I just I feel so refreshed right now you know making music and I have been for a while so um anytime I go on the booth now I know exactly what I'm going to do and I few years ago I read that uh you said you you were depressed while creating the uh the true true to self ALB yeah everything that was after my first album yeah so everything after trap song yeah up until my third album which is anniversary so all the way from 2015 to 2020 there a constant stated depression recording yeah AB music impostor syndrome everything in between wow what what what got you back to to feeling the way he was was it uh the record with Rihanna which was probably I'm sure one of your biggest Records Was it recording or what even like with this this album this single came out it was automatic it wasn't one of those where we got to wait as soon as it came out it was in the clubs yeah see that's and that's the thing too like whatever she wants that was dope cuz it was like even with my album right that's the most I would say that's the most successful song on my album right now and uh that's the one that I had to go to Miami to be like you know I was like you know what I'm tired I was working on the album the price and Tiller album you know working on all these songs of my homies v 15 J crew all these dud writing on the album in poar and um you know I got tired of not getting samples clear and I was just like yo I got to keep waiting I keep Del laying this album this horrible so I was like you know what I don't care I'm about to go to Miami I'm about to just go back to what I used to do have fun in the studio so I started this mixtape series called slum tiller and um I did volume one people was really rocking with it um and then I did volume two and that's when whatever she wants was on her and it it was out for like three months nobody heard of it um and you know I got on Tik Tok and um seeing this kid that was like yo 2024 might be Bryson year blah blah blah he back rapping again and um and then I looked at the comments and one of the dudes was like nah bro we got to gatekeep this and I I was like G keep I was just like oh no that's the reason why people ain't heard my [ __ ] so I was like out the comments bra no no no no no no no but it was it was a good thing because I made a Tik Tok after that made the Tik Tok and then [ __ ] blew up so um yeah you got like an interesting method when it comes to dropping your music though because even before we all heard whatever she wants um you put it on Soundcloud first and then you dropped it on all the streaming platforms is that like your way of like making sure everybody like it before you drop it or like not even actually you know I just I like I'm an instant gratification type of person so like I make some [ __ ] I want to be able to drop it right then and there you know what I mean I'm not trying trying to wait on Sample clearances I'm not trying to wait on nobody I just this is how I'm feeling right now this I want to give it to the world right now even if they never hear I got some fans that complain and be like oh why you using SoundCloud but I'm just like I can't drop [ __ ] on Apple music today you know like I can't log in and then you know just upload like and that's why I love SoundCloud so much you know and the the reason why I'm here today you know label must be pissed off with that you just put records on Soundcloud thing yeah yeah they they probably do you know but they can't be mad because look at you know whatever she wants so how how when you think about all the music that you recorded while you was depressed how proud are you of of of that music um not proud at all actually you said while I was depressed when you look back on it in hindsight all the music that you made during that era the true to self all of that stuff don't get me wrong I definitely still got some some Platinum songs out of it um which is great you know I'm just wasn't oper operating at 100% um wild thoughts I was depressed when I when I wrote that verse um could have been playing games you know there's a lot of stuff that I was just you know but still worked it but uh you know now I'm just it's just it's just different you know did you feel pressured to recall back then like did you did you feel like nobody's actually understanding what I'm going through I don't I don't have nobody to talk to about my depression y'all just want me to work work work work yeah I remember call you know the best song If you go listen to it it's a song that I did for K's major key album I told him before we did it he was like yo I need a song I need a song this is when I'm like super buzzing at the time he's like I need a song for the album you know and I was just like y I'm going to be honest with you K I'm depressed right now I'm not I I got lot going on lawsuits people threatening me at the you know back in my hometown all types of stuff and I'm depressed with the you know he was like nah man just just put in the music and then you know every time I listen to it I just I cringe so hard cuz I'm just like man this is not who I am like even what I'm talking about um but yeah he he eventually ended up bringing me something that like you know wild thoughts so um hold on you spilled your heart to Ked and you said you got lawsuits people threaten you in your hometown and you depressed and he said put it in the music yeah something like that he he didn't really care but but that makes sense that's what all if they able to that's how Mary made her best records when she was depressed she was down she put it in her music I don't like that I'm not mad at that put in I I see it on both sides you know what I mean um I'm more on your side because it's just like you know you should give people a little bit of time putting in music is not always the best thing don't get me wrong it works for sure you know I hate when I'm going through some [ __ ] but you know um and then I got to go like just be like I don't know man try to be regular yeah yeah yeah in that moment he's no and I'm not dising khed I'm just telling the truth I'm telling the truth he's only thinking about himself mhm yeah he's thinking about what he wants yeah but he return you text yeah yeah he does but but also what a lot of people don't don't necessarily understand is like what he's going through a lot of people are going through and you putting it in your music helps people deal you know I mean that's why Mary has so many fans because there's a lot of women that were going through what she was going through and they understand and they can deal with it like you know what I mean same thing with kha Cole and some of the biggest still a looking at this man every I think the biggest thing is biggest thing is this like if I'm going through all this personal stuff whatever but I still got my confidence sure I'll go in the studio all day but if I don't have confidence and I'm going through stuff it's just not a good mixture at all like I'll just make dog [ __ ] you know which is what I did made dog [ __ ] for like six years straight and now you have uh two daughters your a girl Dad how did your daughters Inspire and help you out through that that dark time if they did my second daughter um definitely helped because so you know that was like when I was making in 2020 actually and I was just like all right I got to get my ass up and get to work you know I can't you know I was nervous cuz I was like I really got to work now my first daughter of course she she definitely she changed everything for me you know I got say some Million Dollar Baby out right now she really was my my million-dollar baby you know she the reason why I got you know everything I got because like you know I don't know it's just something about seeing her sleeping in the crib um you know I was riding a a Target on my bike just to get her diapers and [ __ ] but just seeing her sleep in the crib was like so inspiring to me cuz I'm just like man there's I'm the only thing stopping whatever's whatever comes through that door like I have to make sure this roof is over here so she could sleep peacefully you know and I was just like I got to do something about this like I have to I can't just keep living check to check you know so super inspired what what were the threats in your hometown like what was that about threats in my hometown was crazy it was like you know that crabs in a bucket like I just it kind of felt like that and it just you know I I heard a couple people talk about you know you shouldn't live in your hometown like booy you know I've heard it and I've seen people die in their Hometown and I used to just get threats like people just mad because excuse me people mad because I'm like you know blowing up I was super to myself like I didn't really rock with nobody and I intentionally you know stopped rocking with a lot of people after my daughter was born cuz I was like you know cuz I took a Hiatus right when I found out I was going to have a daughter I was like I'm not doing you know I'm not doing music no more I need to focus on you know uh raising this kid you know what I'm saying and trying to um you know get a job at UPS that's when I got my first job at UPS um anyways U so I stopped rocking a lot of people I just wanted to see who's going who's going to [ __ ] with me and whatnot and nobody really called you know this guy back here on the couch Swan he called me you know there's a couple people that called me and those are the people that are still around today but um three three years after that whenever I was like all right you know what maybe I do need to get back into music got back into music all of a sudden everybody mad all of a you know cuz I'm blowing up like yeah he you know switched up on his real friends and blah blah blah I was like real friends that's crazy I I a see none of y'all at the hospital when my daughter was born nobody called me and said congratulations you know what I'm saying so um yeah a lot of those people were just sending me death threats you know I was in um yeah just crazy [ __ ] like leaving like animal skull heads on my car like really animal skull heads skull heads like it was corny as hell when we think about it Louisville Kentucky Kentucky Lord yeah it was like a a burnt up like note like you reap what you s pay us what you owe like crazy weird [ __ ] two dudes it was like a um definitely one of them demonic ones that they use in the some Illuminati type [ __ ] I'm like where do you where are you from okay yeah like a Bo like you know the ones with the horn like the little they're not horns but they're I don't know exactly it looks like a ram some of them look like Rams I think it was that Lion King animal the one is at uh hyena or something not that the ones that are like was like running through the the Pumba n n the ones that was running through that killed you know whenever he said you know oh the uh not the the ox yeah I think yeah it was like a ox like where the hell he get that in Louisville maybe they got off Etsy or some [ __ ] T t- did you move from did you move out of there immediately or you live there so you don't live in here anymore got out of that youve that day I tried to stay there for as long as I could um you know but it just got too weird bro I was just like I can't deal with this man people used to knock on my door and ask me for pictures it was weird now who wants to R&B probably nobody actually it was probably just to like [ __ ] with me you know what I mean like but it was it was annoying bro like I was outside some nights in the middle of this neighborhood this new you know white neighborhood screaming in the rain to the people that I thought was you know behind all the [ __ ] cuz I had to fly home whenever I seen that on my cameras like two dudes with gloves on outside putting [ __ ] on my cars and [ __ ] I was like the [ __ ] my daughter's in the house sleeping I'm just like yo what's wrong with y'all bro get out of there I'm glad you got out of there so fast you knew you you knew who it was yeah yeah but did you I mean did you handle it oh touch your nose like like n that's the thing that's the thing about it cuz I was always just like man I used to tell people when they were [ __ ] me I like man y yall kind of got the right one you know some people like yo you got the wrong you got the right one cuz I'm not I'm not going I'm not going to meet you where you you know you I'm just going to keep doing me and like god'll deal with you that one of those guys died actually not because of yeah one of those guys died car accident yikes yeah so you you put a skull head back on anyway hey man I wished him the best I always looked up to him too was a crazy thing did you call 911 at least did you report it no I what you mean report he wasn't there I did oh you was at the car accident no no he's talking about the he did yeah a lot of crazy stuff though they was send it was people like send CPS to my house like you know tell saying that I like you know molesting my daughter and wild [ __ ] like and I'm having to my they having to interview my little three-year-old daughter like did your daddy blah blah blah and it's just like y I can't believe I was just like trying to tell the people I was like yo so people anybody can just call and then they can just come in here and just y'all can just interview me and talk to my daughter whenever y'all want that's crazy like I don't get some type of like celebrity like pass but I guess not you know but um I see why we don't see you Bryson man I was I was I was [ __ ] up years was it true that you uh Drake was trying to sign you at one point yeah and you didn't go with Drake you went to RCA of course so why didn't you decide to sign with Drake um I really wanted to to be honest with you um it's just one of those things like man honestly the day I remember they tricked me they tricked me into coming up to New York U they was like yeah man we're here to we're here to sign a deal I said what sign a deal like at this time is still you know they kept trying to get me away from Drake flew me out of La cuz he was out there it like we gotta get him away from Drake blah blah blah got to get away from man what was wrong with Dr bro that was all they was like doing and I just hate that cuz I'm like man I mean I get it I don't know him but also y'all don't maybe y'all do know him I don't know run for your life anyways I was in there and um you know I was really trying to make that happen cuz I remember just some of the text conversations we had he was like I really want to sign you to OBO and I was super inspired and obviously Drake is a huge influence in my um you know a a huge part of my musical DNA period um and I got to New York and I I listen to one song by him I think it's called fear I was just trying to like find songs that he was making when he was like trying to figure out who he was going to sign to and I was just like man how did he feel this time and then I texted him and I was like yo man they got me up here in New York you know um I really want to sign the OVO I just hope we can just like have a conversation about it you know what I mean and he just never text me back what and I was just like I guess that's everything I need to know right there you know so what I mean he didn't even want to bid like it wasn't like you had signed with RCA already I think I think some people at oovo didn't believe like the money they was offering me or something like that did you did you did you like maybe give him a verbal like hey man I'm signing the ovl and so he might Fel he might have felt slided that you was up here with RCA not I mean I tried to have a conversation with I tried to hit him up tried to tell him to match what RCA was get not even that I was just like it don't even matter about the money you ain't got to match nothing like just tell me like give me some reassurance and let me know that like you rocking with me like everybody's in my ear right now talking about this the third and I won't believe him you know what I mean I'll trust you and the crazy thing is like you can't really like I'm a rebel so like if you know people always be like oh it's a good thing you didn't sign the oo and all this I I wasn't really hearing that cuz I always just like you know if I sign the oo um I'm going be a great asset to the team for one for two you there's no stopping me like you know um when it comes there's no hold me back there's no shelv in me there's no none of that CU I'm amazing so so Drake's one of the people who didn't text you back uh yeah I mean just in that instance yeah has he text you back since uh I ain't I ain't spoke to him in a minute did you ever help him uh right that was that's what they said too like you know n you never was in the studio with him do you do you feel like if you signed with Drake it would have been a lot easier cuz it would have been a artist guiding you through all the things that you didn't understand absolutely yeah that was exactly what I needed at the time and that's what I think the people around me didn't really understand I was like I'm looking for more than just you know money and and um I mean don't get me wrong like I get the intent like why they was trying to do that and why they was trying to set me up for the future but I needed like guidance that was what I needed more than anything because yeah I'm stressed out do you think any of this uh you know Bryson has to do with your natural demeanor because you know you say you do disconnect from people you know you will cut people off so if you are that way to people it's easy for people to be that way to you so who is it you first and then them or do you notice something with and then you dis yourself um you know that's a good good point i' I've definitely heard that before like there's a lot of moments where like I go to like celebrity parties and honestly I just didn't never see myself as you know anywhere near them so I would just kind of stay in my place and be like let me just sit over here shut up not talk um and just kind of like observe and just like cuz I didn't want to say too much and then say some corny [ __ ] or just like I don't know I'm just like let me just not say that at all maybe some people took that as like oh he he think you know you think he all that you know or whatever so or stand offish or stand offish or just weird yeah exactly I've definitely heard that before but like that ain't the case you know what I mean at all like I love I like I might be introverted I might be I'm not even really that antisocial I love you know my friends and you know we have great conversations and you know um I just think a lot of yeah does have a lot to do with that I think the problem with the industry especially if you're an introvert and you deal with anxiety you need people to meet you where you are meaning if your safe space is that studio writing and recording come kick it with me over here cuz you not going to get the best version of me if I got to come to your house and fake politic at a party yeah yeah yeah I agree I agree with that for sure it was um you know even me I would send messages to people like and I would try not to make them too wordy but I would just like sound like a human they would just be so robotic like one word text okay and I just be like all right you know like what I'm just laughing what you would text I don't I can't even remember what I would say but I would just be like you know just I don't know regular conversation like I had with all my other friends you know what I mean just talking to him like yo man even give giving people compliments you know what I mean like yo I just wanted to say you know this you know this album meant a lot to me you know but as I got older and um and grew wiser I was just like you know people just be busy and you know everybody got their own kingdom everybody got like a million people like trying to you know get something from them you know what I mean so I'm just like I just got to deal with it rooll with the punches is what it is now you on tour the vers and Tiller tour do you like touring uh yeah and yes and no wait what did Michael Jackson say I love the I love that was the second take the first take was I hate Tor I don't like Tor I like people it can be tough man stage is way different than the studio I love the studio I love making music I love the way everything sounds in my headphones um but um on the stage is way different can't hear [ __ ] every room is different the the Reverb be loud sometimes be heavy on the Basse and just like damn I can't even hear myself sometimes the crowd too loud and I don't never want them to not be loud but um yeah it's super different that's uh the only reason and the other thing is like I've just be gone from my home too long like yeah like I'm burnt out right now I can't lie maybe you just meant to be a writer Bryson that's what you know that was another thing the reason why I was like yo I don't mind signing oo like that might be a good thing for me to just goost right like I always wanted to be a writer that's actually one of my I never want to be in the spotlight like that um well I take that back when I was 17 I did cuz I was like oh yeah Fame and being famous cuz you know I see CB and tiger you know shooting water guns at each other on on tour and whatnot I'm like that looks like fun you know what I mean I was like I want to do that but then um I realized quickly I was like nah maybe I don't want to do that like and then I was like I'm just I just want to be a songwriter but you know my song took off as an artist so I was kind of forced to be artist do they treat Jack har back home like they treated you or is it you feel like they treat him a lot better back home um it depends on who we talking about you know um I think all the people you know especially black people respect them you know what I'm saying um I feel like you know maybe maybe the higher ups the officials in the city might give him more opportunities because of you know his his uh complex his skin color don't be afraid but you know definitely yeah I mean yep um I saw you say in a billboard interview that this UMB Bryson tiller you named it that because you want to show people people yourself and you want to be yourself you want to show people who you are and you know I I don't believe that though what you mean I don't believe you really want to do that I show people who I am yeah you know and it's funny because like my mixtape series is I would say um it's an alter ego of mine slum to but I I really did get to show people who I was on the internet that when I dropped those I felt super vulnerable even when I dropped whatever she wants I felt so embarrassed after cuz I was just like this is like for girls like when they go to the club and they be drunk and they be shaking their ass and whatnot and they probably next day feel like crazy or whatever but like that's how I felt cuz I'm just on here talking about tricking and hitting girls from the back and what not on the song like I'm just like what am I doing right now this is crazy I got kids like I got loved it exactly yeah so uh n um I would say I was more myself on on my slum U mixed tape but my album I just mean like yeah I'm glad you said that you didn't Bo why you lying to yourself it's good point and why are you volunteering the lies to other people I wouldn't even say it's lies though you know what I mean with album you know what I mean or or that interview you know it is the most me that I've ever been you know like cuz I love every genre music there's a lot of different type of stuff on that on this album um I love country sound and stuff yeah yeah I do yeah I love I love every everything you know all the all the genres so it is me but um when I guess when you think about like you know being vulnerable it's not it's not that much me you know what I'm saying but it's doe no I was about to say I just think he be in his head a lot like you be in your head a lot I used to be in my head a whole whole lot now I'm just a little bit more like eh who cares I'm kind of just like on some like I've been kind of just going wherever the wind blows me and just following the yellow brick road and just like just accepting the fact that I'm just not in control at all like it's it's him you know what I mean everything like I could plan something I just trust God's creative um creative decisions you know what I mean if he want my album to flop my album flopping it is what it is you know what I mean we moving on to the next that that's something that's that's got to happen for me even the game that I'm working on you know this [ __ ] could come out and you know be a dud you know but um it's not going to be a dud but you know what I'm saying like whatever he decides is what I'm I'm I'm okay with now and I used to didn't be like that I was like nah it's got to be this way it's got to be and you know that that quote it's like if you want to make God laugh tell them your plans feel like yeah talk us about the video game it's it's called trap soul and and I also read that you say this album is probably going to be your last for a while because you working on yeah so my my my game Studio it's called trap so games um and uh we working on the game I can't say the name just yet but uh yeah we it should be out that [ __ ] so is it a game that is it a trapo game or is it something that you trapo games is just the name of it you know name of the the company okay okay is it music based is it an existing property um I can't say it death those six is it Grand Theft Auto six no that's Rockstar Games I so games over here interesting hold on one second guys we got for some reason the M all right so we have some technical difficulties that's why we sitting here with microphones in our hand looking stupid cuz our board went out and all the mics went out in the middle of the Bryson tiller interview so we are improvising right now but we was talking about the Trap Soul video game and um how you're designing for Grand Theft Auto I I didn't say that okay um I wish I wish I definitely would love an internship at uh Rockstar Games for show but uh yeah man my game is uh should be releasing next year uh behind the scenes I was saying the dope thing about you is your demographics is all over the place I was telling you my your concert my wife is going tonight uh my kids are going one is 22 one is 20 so looking at your show I see 14 year olds but then I see 50 year olds so how is that with makeing music man I think I think it's a beautiful thing cuz I definitely sometimes I'm just like my uncle text me like he 45 and he's like y Grand I mean grandson your nephew I love this this new album blah blah blah you know just a breath the fresher or whatever and I'm just like dang and then I'll have my daughter who'll be you know she's 10 years old and you know her and her friends and then my uh people that I work with their daughters will be listen to it it's just I'm just like dang it's crazy that I'm able to you know Reach people or reach that many people and U you know especially the young kids they have so much music to discover so who knows you know how many more how many more people I can reach I know the younger they get the the weirder the music start yeah it's like different like my daughter some of the stuff she be finding I be like what is this but you know I try to tap in because it's you know it's different all right I saw you put a disclaimer Bryson that uh everybody is not going to like every song on the album but everything is intentional so why would you intentionally put songs on an album that you don't think nobody going to like well I I intentionally put different types of songs on the album so like for example right there's people that want to keep me in that uh that trap soulbox which is fine um but if you if you love trap s and that's all you you listen to you're definitely not going to probably most likely not going to like my new album which is fine you know I think that's okay um because I want to reach new people I want I want new fans I don't want to just you know I got a song on there called undertoe that's um you know most people probably wouldn't really listen to like that you know what I mean but I love that type of music um it's like told when that's our country uh kind of yeah it's got got that kind of vibe for sure you know what I mean I just want to reach reach new people that's the main thing yeah I wanted to sex you up track right uh that you put out early this year you know we had tank up here and he mentioned that the art of Love Making is basically gone but it can come back if men are willing to put in the effort yeah so what what are your thoughts on that when you put out a song like uh Su you up is he saying that specifically with music he's saying men don't really men don't necessarily know how to court cry make love to their woman so that's why it doesn't reflect in the music like before it was okay like you would cry for your girl you would sing to your girl you wanted that so bad and God damn why you talking to that man like that God damn I didn't say him my God I didn't say him I said you didn't feel uncomfortable just now bra I gu Jesus this guy's crazy give justtin mic man go ahead um that's hilarious um no oh I think um I don't know man I cuz I do I do see what you mean like music definitely was a lot more romantic back then but I think things started the fuse you know hip-hop the rappers want to be singers the singers want to be rappers and then the lines are just super blurred right now so you know it it's just I don't know it's a lot of people that ain't really even talking about love or love making like that you know um even with um songs that are like I got a song on my album called attention um that I you know intentionally the second the first song yeah it's the first song and um and I was just you know intentionally I didn't want to I didn't mention sex really on there you know I didn't say nothing freaky I was just like I want to make a woman feel sexy but without even talking about sex at all so um you know I think some people tap into it in different ways uh but yeah I don't know I think it has a lot to do with the the line being blurred right now with the genres and rappers and singers and whatever so that's how I felt about the persuasion record with Victoria mono oh yeah because you know it was it's a super freaky record yeah but then it's like subtle because you're not saying the word like how did yall even decide you wanted to use those words honestly when Victoria I got to pick her brain on that whenever she come up here I'm sure she will at some point Y got to pick her brain on that too but uh our studio don't work nobody else come after this um n and then I just honestly she started it and I just took it from there and I just thought about it I was like I have to keep that going on the verses you know just cuz it's like you know every now and then you get you know music gets a really clever song like overall like the whisper song for example like you know what I mean every when that came out everybody was like oh my God this is we never heard nothing like this before you know what I mean and me yeah yeah I feel like that was crazy the most different like think about it like that song I'm trying to think of another it was no I was listening to that this weekend that's what so crazy I yes I don't know why it randomly came up on the playlist I was listening to it I was like this is a very Innovative record I I was listening to the remix for free on it Innovation that's what it is like very rarely do you get something like that and I just felt like once you played this I was like yo this is this is I've never heard nobody do this on song before and I was like that Al made me I was like I need this and and and it gave me a way to to curse on the radio I know right say though you can say that language so we can actually I mean if you say I thought it was suggestive so we couldn't that would like blurred out or whatever no no you can say that you can play that record right now don't have to believe nothing that's amazing oh Dam it's crazy so do your so your album list like on well your your song list for your tour will you perform got to move on um but that's the track with did um I no I haven't performed that since like last year okay I know what you're getting at though but yeah yeah but but what's interesting but what's interesting is the first one it was one that that you was originally the original one was you by yourself was that was yeah that I actually like that one more you know what I mean like so do you could you do that how you how you did you hear before the Diddy or did you like no I heard that before Diddy yeah that's crazy you just never know who we tapped in yeah I was in I heard it in Jamaica oh I was in Jamaica on vacation with some of my friends and my home girl played it and I was like yep she's in the industry too but she played it and I was like this [ __ ] is hard you know so I didn't know if you could perform the original cuz that I definely yeah no I definitely can um I just it was at the time when I was performing it that was a song he was like going crazy with all time and just like talking about all the time so I was like you know I'm G um yeah I'm G perform it okay anything you want to add no yeah cuz you you know you got to not not at all exactly all right at one point you were talking about dropping an album called Serenity I was uh I still got that album too you know I just um that was post that album is not even supposed to be it will be the album that I just wanted to be really have a peace of mind and like I told you I depress down bad for years so it was hard for me I'm like how can I even make a album called Serenity and I don't even have that right now I have no peace I used to say the Serenity Prayer to myself all the time just trying to like get back to like yo guy please just you know it's and that's and that's about control and just like you know realizing that you know I don't I'm not in control or whatever um but uh yeah no it's still it's still in the works and I'm going definitely do that at the right time I got the music and I I love that album so um that one is not about it's not about the money it's not about um radio like it's one of those albums like I I'll be happy that released and you know that's it's just like my soundtrack to to Miami for sure May that's a reason to release it because you know peace peace is subjective right like and and peace comes and it comes and goes yeah so you not you never going to truly be fully at peace but I mean it's something to Aspire to just to put in the universe you're right you're definitely right about that but uh you know the labels got to cut the check if they want that out for sure what makes Bryce and Tiller happy maybe we asking the wrong question maybe we talking about things that depress you like music other than video games like what genuinely makes you happy um my kids uh generic answer but my kids really make me happy uh a really good movie a really good sci-fi movie makes me happy um uh you seen your car collection my cars make me happy my action figure collection you know that makes me happy everything GI Jo's um I don't got no GI Jo's um they actually figur be kind of trash low key but you know I like um yeah everything old wrestling ones like the joints n so I got like some Jim Henson uh uh original Super original like the custom like ninja turtle um action figures I got a Iron Giant super tall Iron Giant I got a uh uh kandid from uh Akira um a lot of stuff y'all don't want to talk about action figures you mean I got I got Dan's glove at the house I got black panther outfit

know I don't know when y'all would want me to be up here again so you know anytime man anytime all right I'm starting to think it's you though cuz this has never happened before with the studio shut might be like the whole studio shut down that's actually crazy like you say you N I don't actually yeah man you got a therapist this something nope God damn Grayson so you just sit around and soak I did have a therapist but she I don't know want to talk about on there I think you I think that that that's I just think there might be some internal work to do is all I'm say no definitely I I've been doing it though I been I feel I feel great man I'm telling you I feel the best I've ever felt in a a long time bro like I feel unstoppable my you know there's nothing you could have really said to me that would have really broke me up here you know I'm just I feel great that's the only reason I'm up here to be honest I'm trying to break you no no no I mean see no but hold on I'm just saying like I'm I'm not not like intentionally but like if there was something that like early on in my career I'm tell you I would have been up here like uh yeah and you know what I mean just super nervous and

do genuinely love you like they genuinely do love and value and appreciate your music I've never heard like I I would have never thought you thought people didn't like your music really I see it all the time that's great cuz you have like a cult like following like like people like her sister loves you she in there like when we just went down for the break she was like ask him do he need me to

got K into that I I don't dislike you I don't know you to love you it's all good I want to ask you how long is that that pause between on don't on don't right how long is the pause how many seconds is that cuz I still can't catch it did you say it's 11 damn Eli yeah Jesus people that's actually crazy who the hell knows that that's 11 who would count that in why I don't it's 11 weird type of like seconds you have to like do like a metronome to get you that's the only way but who wants who wants to do that when they listen to the song just listen to it me and my sister we was trying I was on my story right now we was trying and I I I couldn't get it my favorite song on trap so it's been that way but don't I've been in exchange but do like we was trying to count it and she gets it every time my sister shaneo it was 11 seconds but she gets it every single time now yeah he okay that was accident actually my my studio was just wonky like it's like y Studio a lot you know damn so anyways it was it was just it was it was horrible at that time and um I just couldn't finish the song I was just like you know what it is what it is I was trying to like get it the timing right but it never
