The Hottest Thing Out Of Louisville Since Muhammad Ali

 

Bystion Tiller

 

Say what you will about the effect that the internet (more specifically, social media) has had on our everyday lives, but as a tool of discovery, it's changing lives every day. Especially for musicians who don't hail from hub cities with built-in networks of industry personnel, a simple Soundcloud account can end up being a golden ticket. Bryson Tiller grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, which is by no means a small town, but also not one that's lauded for its music scene. All ten of the tracks on his Soundcloud account currently have more than a million plays each, and on Friday he'll (officially) release his debut album, T R A P S O U L. All of this from clicking "upload," attracting attention from a few important names, and of course, possessing quite a bit of talent and finesse.

We sat down with the singer/rapper to talk about coming up in a "dead" music scene, getting noticed by his idols and making the album. Read on to hear him tell his story in his own words
