Black and gold must be the new color these days for rappers…and now singers.  Whichever is the case, The-Dream new promo photo for his upcoming album Fourplay is simple but cool.  The new studio album is scheduled to be released on May 7.  His lead single “Slow It Down”, featuring Fabolous, is out now.

 

Not really hurting for money, The-Dream keeps the hits coming through his production and songwriting work with Rihanna, Beyonce and a host of others. Speaking of Beyonce, The-Dream recently spoke to Rap Fix Live about the direction of Mrs. Carters’ new album.

 

“There’s no particular sound that I think we’re shooting for, we’re jus trying to make music that feels good,” said The-Dream.  “If you seen the HBO thing, which was great, we had been talking about doing something that showcases who she is and what she wants because we see those figures that are so out of the stratosphere.  She’s just shooting to be regular and okay and not trying to appease everybody, he said. “You have to appease yourself and your soul for doing it.”

 

We can’t wait to hear the new projects from both artists.  Hotness guaranteed!
