Hey guys, LokoReviews here and today, I'm going to do something a little bit different. Well, sort of different. Today, I'm going to be reviewing an album from a musician who have been getting a lot buzz recently. And that artist I'm talking about is no other than Bryson Tiller.
Now for the people who don't know who Bryson Tiller is, he is a Hip Hop/R&B singer and songwriter who got discovered by Timberland and Drake. Tiller also made waves with SoundCloud uploads with songs like "Don't," "Break Bread," "Let 'Em Know," and "Sorry Not Sorry." That's basically all the information that you need to know about him, because there was no other interesting info about Mr. Tiller. Now that you guys know a little something something about Bryson Tiller, what do I think about his debut album?
Guys, I wasn't feeling this album at all. Bryson Tiller sounds like another typical mainstream R&B and Hip Hop artist that is working today. He's basically a mixture of Drake, Chris Brown, The Weeknd, and plenty of other musicians. Even if he didn't sound like the people I mentioned, I still wouldn't be impressed by him. The only good thing about this album is the production and even with that, there are other artist that are using the same type of production as him. Also most of the lyrical content on here were piss poor. He mostly portrayed himself as a douche on this album and it wouldn't be that bad if he wasn't so smug and cocky about it in his songs. Speaking of which lets discuss about some of these tracks.
Bryson Tiller's "Don't"
Ah yes, his breakout hit that is sweeping the nation. And let me just say that this is the worst song on this album. Now let me just say that I really adore the production on here. It's just so atmospheric and bass heavy and I also love this part right here. "Don't" I could easily jam out to those parts without listening to the lyrics. But Speaking of which, the lyrics on this song just rubs me the wrong way. Bryson Tiller in this song comes off as a total A-hole and insult this girl by constantly blaming her for the stuff that she went through. But oh wait, if she just went with him everything would just be all peachy and fine. Yeah, right. what else are you going to tell me that Tim Burton is going to remake a classic Disney animated film and turn it into a live action format.
Huh, didn't see that coming.
Bryson Tiller's "Exchange"
This next song is about Bryson Tiller having feelings for his Ex and is trying to get her back. Now it would have been fine only if in the final verse he didn't say that he was going to screw her in many different ways. Not to mention that he says that he wasn't loyal to begin with the first time around. So to all the ladies reading this post, would you take this guy back if he said all that to you? If you said no, then you're a lot smarter then Bryson Tiller is.
Bryson Tiller's "Ten Nine Fourteen"
Bryson Tiller's "Rambo"
The last noteworthy songs I want to talk about in this album are honestly the best tracks on this entire album. Yeah, I know I trashed on this album hard but he did make 2 decent tracks. Now both of these songs are basicially just Bryson Tiller bragging about his success and how he's the best in the game (which is all lies). But Bryson Tiller definitely showed off some lyrical skill without being too douchy and he does flow really good on the these hard-hitting & dark trap beats. Now I'm not saying that these 2 are outstanding tracks because they do got a lot of problems in them, but these 2 were definitely breath of fresh air from all the other bad songs on this album.
Like I said earlier, I'm not feeling this album. I don't see the appeal about Bryson Tiller and his music. He maybe a cool guy to hang out with in real life, but in his music, I don't want to get involved in anything that he's doing. Overall, I don't like this album and I don't recommend you guys checking it out, unless you are curious to see if it's as bad as I think it is. So overall, I have to give Bryson Tiller's "Trapsoul" a 2/5 for having 2 decent tracks and well produced beats throughout. Also let me know what you think about Bryson Tiller and his debut album. And let me know if you agree with me or not. Thank you guys for reading this and I'll see you guys later. So this is James Kaloko and everybody in this world, just stay loco. Peace!!!
