Bryson Tiller Details Missed Drake Collabs Before “Outta Time”
The long-awaited Drake x Bryson Tiller collaboration emerged this past Friday on ANNIVERSARY. Many have anticipated this collaboration since Drake co-signed Bryson five years ago with many expecting the Canadian rapper to appear on his debut album TRAPSOUL. Though that wasn’t the case, there was a reason for it that Bryson Tiller explained recently to Rob Markman.

Drake actually serves as the first feature Bryson Tiller has had on any of his solo albums with the exception of The Weeknd’s “RAMBO” remix that appeared on TRAPSOUL deluxe. Apparently, this would’ve happened regardless since Drake was initially slated to appear on Bryson’s debut album. “The same way this one happened, it was supposed to be a surprise feature,” he said “We didn’t get to make that happen obviously but this is dope to come back five years, full circle, and do it.”
Tiller explained that Drake was a big fan of “Sequence” but it appeared likely that the 6ix God would grace the remix of “Don’t.” Ultimately, that fell through but earlier this year, they started connecting once again to get “Outta Time” off of the ground.
“You know, me and him are always sent each other ideas or whatever. I went to the studio, played him stuff. He played me some stuff. I was supposed to be on More Life. At that time, I was just in a terrible mental space. I really couldn’t deliver the proper Bryson Tiller verse for a Drake album,” he said. Bryson explained that he sent Drake a song for Serenity earlier this year while Drake sent him back something he was working on.
“I sat on it for a while and I kind of found myself in the same place that I was when we first started collaborating… I don’t even want to come on this song if I’m not really feelin’ it,” he added. “I was kind of just sitting on it for a while, maybe waiting on his verse to come back for the other song that I sent him.” He said he was in the studio with Neil who he played the Drake song for. Bryson explained Neil really boosted his confidence, saying that the song wouldn’t sound right if he wasn’t on it. “He left the studio and for the first time, I knocked it out in about 20 minutes, 30 minutes.”

Pete Miller Explores Duality on “The Dazzling Kimberly”
Pete Miller’s ‘The Dazzling Kimberly’ is a profound exploration of the intricacies of human emotion and the complexity of our relationships. Through its narrative, the song delves deep into the heart of love, loss, and the paths we choose in life. The protagonist’s journey of self-reflection and contemplation, sparked by the enigmatic Kimberly, serves as a mirror to our own experiences with love and the often painful lessons that come with it.
“The Dazzling Kimberly” is a poignant song that narrates the story of two twins embroiled in conflict, who are brought together and eventually reconciled by their interactions with a mystical figure named Kimberly. This song, with its rich narrative and allusions, particularly to the biblical story of Jacob and Esau, offers a layered exploration of themes such as rivalry, redemption, and the ephemeral nature of life and relationships.
The song opens with a vivid depiction of one twin’s sense of guilt and moral ambiguity, contrasting his own cunning with his twin’s straightforward approach. This internal conflict sets the stage for the entrance of Kimberly, a figure whose very existence seems otherworldly, serving as a catalyst for change and reflection in the twins’ lives.
Kimberly, characterized by her wisdom and almost supernatural presence, challenges the narrator to reconsider his values, suggesting that victories won through cunning lack the essence of true love and fulfillment. Her influence is profound, guiding the twins towards a reconciliation that seemed impossible before her intervention.
The chorus of the song encapsulates the narrator’s deep yearning and the transformative impact Kimberly has had on his life. It questions the value of freedom and the significance of their bond, highlighting the impermanence of life through the metaphor of fading air and shifting sands.
The resolution of the twins’ conflict, prompted by Kimberly’s disappearance (or passing), symbolizes a newfound maturity and understanding. The once-contentious land becomes a symbol of their shared heritage and reconciliation, underscoring the message that love and unity are more valuable than any material possession or victory.
The allusion to Jacob and Esau provides a biblical backdrop to this tale of rivalry and reconciliation, enriching the narrative with layers of meaning and moral questioning. Just as Jacob and Esau reconcile after years of conflict, so do the twins, guided by the ethereal and loving presence of Kimberly.
The song’s melancholic yet hopeful tone captures the duality of human experience—the longing for what was and the hope for what could be. The moods and themes you’ve described, from melancholy and contemplation to love, regret, and redemption, underscore the universal struggle with fate and the desire for moral clarity and closure.
For further thematic exploration, the works of Leonard Cohen, particularly for their spiritual and existential undertones, or the poetic narratives of Bob Dylan, might resonate with the themes of “The Dazzling Kimberly.” Both artists adeptly weave complex human emotions with broader philosophical and spiritual questions, much like Pete Miller does in this song.
