Still waiting on Drake’s new album to release? Fans\u00a0can fill the void with up and coming R&B artist Bryson Tiller who will be performing at Livewire on February 1.\u00a0Tiller, who emerged on the SoundCloud scene, quickly garnered attention for his affiliation with Drake and OVO Sound (Drake’s record label). While there was speculation that Tiller would sign with OVO, he ultimately signed with RCA where he released his debut album\u00a0Trapsoul<\/em>.\u00a0The suave Louisville singer-songwriter has so far welcomed 2016 with success.\u00a0Trapsoul<\/em>\u00a0has ranked in the top 40 of the Billboard 200 every week since its October release. For the chart week of January 23 the album has reached No. 9 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart. Both positions are the highest for it on each chart.<\/p>\n While he may not be signed with OVO Sound, his sound still echoes that of\u00a0Drizzy, sonically, lyrically and thematically.\u00a0The New York Times<\/a><\/em>\u00a0even stated that\u00a0Trapsoul<\/em>\u00a0“is perhaps the first truly post-Drake R&B album,” and that Tiller’s approach to the genre is “by\u00a0holding up a mirror to Drake and using his tricks in reverse.” Not a bad idea, seeing the kind of year Drake’s experienced.\u00a0The lead single off\u00a0Trapsoul<\/em>, “Don’t,” even takes cues from Drake. The song\u00a0features a sample from Destiny’s Child “Say My Name,” something also seen in Drake’s 2013 single “Girls Love Beyonc\u00e9” that samples the same song.\u00a0“Don’t,” like Trapsoul,<\/em> has been comfortable on the Billboard charts, peaking at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of January 23.
