Love King, the third album from The-Dream a.k.a Terius Nash was proclaimed to be his last. But four tracks into the album and he’s declaring on Sex Intelligent (Remix) that Love Affair is a year away. “I ain’t going nowhere. Who the fucks gonna replace me?” he says. Of course, he brings up a good [...]

If you’ve listened to The-Dream’s latest – and possibly his last – album Love King then it’ll probably make perfect sense that instead of releasing videos for three separate songs, he’s gone right ahead and made a 12 minute video called Trilogy. Much like the best parts of his previous album Love Vs. Money, The-Dream [...]

Speechless is the name of it and oh wow, The-Dream’s reign as R&B king isn’t looking like it’s going to end anytime soon. Especially not after his recent collaboration with Drake and the fact that his album Love King is due out next month. “See I understand and I know you’ve been on your feet [...]

Word out is that Shut It Down will be the official first single from Thank Me Later, but at this stage details are still vague. Still, as far as modern R&B goes, this is a winner. Especially like those parts where Drake throws around lines like, “heard that your a student working weekends in the [...]

Love King is the title track from The-Dream’s third (and apparently last) album. It’s no secret that The-Dream’s last album Love Vs. Money was one of my favourite albums of 2009 and I’m sure I’m not the only one that felt that way. Despite the fact that dude has written countless amounts of hits now [...]

LOL at you losers who never listened to Electrik Red’s How To Be A Lady: Volume 1. Well, just so you know, it’s time to play catch-up because Volume 2 is out soon and I’m That Chick is the very first taste from the album. World domination to be continued. [The Fader] //

The Grammy award nominations have been announced and Beyonce leads the stakes with ten nominations. But the big winner here could be Taylor Swift because, apart from Michael Jackson, no one’s had a year quite like her. She’s up for eight awards and assuming that Kanye has learned his lesson, there shouldn’t be anything in [...]

The fact that she has an elevator from her room to her studio aside, you might be asking who Tricky Stewart is. Well he’s only one half of the best songwriting team in the business. Tricky Stewart along with The-Dream, were responsible for such monster hits as Rihanna’s Umbrella and Beyonce’s Single Ladies, two of [...]

Yeah, so you get these four guys together for a song called Pregnant. What did you think was going to happen? [2dopeboyz] //

Drake confirmed to Billboard that he has been working with The-Dream on a new song called ‘Shut It Down.’ He also said that he sings and raps on the song and considering The-Dream’s track record for rappers hopping on his songs has been excellent (Fabolous, Kanye, Young Jeezy), we’re a little excited to hear this.
