A breakdown of standout samples from Tiller’s TrapSoul

Bryson Tiller aka “Pen Griffey” has undeniable set the music world on fire with his debut album “Trap Soul”. This project holds sounds that all came from sessions with Legendary Producer Timbaland and his many protégés in Miami. We’ve heard the sounds and tracks that are the baselines of tracks such as “Exchange”,” Sorry Not Sorry” and vocal samples that appear on “Don’t“. We break down for you some of the standout samples from the projects right here.

1.Don’t– Interpolation (Replayed Sample) of vocals/lyrics that came from Mariah Carey’s chart topping hit from 2005, “Shake it off”. The lyric used by Young Tiller is, “He keeps on playing games and his loving ain’t the same,” which Mariah used as a bridge to the hook.

2.Exchange– In this song, multiple elements were used from K.P and Envyi 90’s hit “Swing My Way. Starting with the beat itself and the vocals from K.P and Envyi opening harmonies that are filtered out and chopped with a little delay. Also more, hi-hats were added along with a melodic baseline.

3. Sorry Not Sorry– Any OG 90’s baby hears this track and thinks back to playing Street Fighter 2 on SEGA all night, Timbaland and Millibeat were spot on with giving this track a nostalgic feel. As both Guile’s Theme and Street Fighter 2 sound effects were incorporated through out the track. Last but not least, Vine star “Brian Blacka$$” Vine quote from 2013 was inserted in the song at end, “Boy, you don’t get tha f**k.”

4. 502 Come up– In an ode to his hometown Louisville, he used direct vocal samples from the infamous Reverend W.A. Donaldson 1952 song, “Baptizing Sounds.” It’s a great mix with the modern beats of today. All Kanye fans should remember this sound from the opening of the track of “N*ggas in Paris,” as well as numerous tracks off the new Ghetto Gospel, “Life of Pablo.”

5. For However Long– A sample of multiple elements of one of the best R&B groups of all time, Jodeci’s “Alone.” If you go back to Jodeci’s track, at around 1:27 is where Bryson’s producers sampled the elements for the whole track.
