Bryson Tiller Drops The Vices, the Opening Chapter of His Double Album Gamble
Bryson Tiller is kicking off a bold new era, the Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum artist has dropped The Vices on August 8 — part one of his upcoming double project Solace & The Vices — via Trapsoul/RCA Records, signaling a sharp turn into high-energy, unapologetic territory.
On the 12-track set, Tiller leans deeper into his rap instincts while still flexing the melodic touch that made him a leader of modern R&B. Backed by a powerhouse production team — Charlie Heat, Teddy Walton, Hitmaka, and Gravez among them — he’s joined by a stacked guest list including Rick Ross, Plies, T-Pain, BossMan Dlow, Bun B, Luh Tyler, and Baby Drill.
The album’s focus track, “No Sharing” (featuring Luh Tyler), rides a buoyant, club-ready beat, pairing Tiller’s soulful runs with Tyler’s fluid, unbothered delivery. It’s a snapshot of the project’s ethos: fast-moving, confident, and designed for big speakers.
“The Vices” sets up a stark contrast for its companion piece, Solace, due later this year. While this first installment thrives on impulse and swagger, Solace will pivot toward reflection and emotional depth — what Tiller calls “my own personal therapy session.”
The drop comes as Tiller nears a major milestone: the 10th anniversary of T R A P S O U L. That 2015 debut reshaped R&B and went triple platinum, cementing the Louisville native as one of the genre’s most influential voices. Since then, he’s topped the Billboard 200 with True to Self (2017), delivered the acclaimed A N N I V E R S A R Y (2020), and earned another hit run with his 2024 self-titled LP.
Momentum is already on his side. Last month, Tiller teamed with Chris Brown for “It Depends,” which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B Digital Song Sales chart. He’s also a special guest on Brown’s Breezy Bowl XX Stadium Tour — a massive run with stops at Fenway Park and Wrigley Field — alongside Summer Walker and Jhené Aiko.
With The Vices, Tiller isn’t just revisiting his roots — he’s expanding them, blurring the lines between R&B smoothness and rap grit. If this is just the first half, Solace might be the most revealing chapter of his career yet.
