The Dream is the architect behind Rihanna's Umbrella, Beyoncé's Single Ladies, Britney Spears's Me Against the Music, J. Holiday's Bed, and a catalog that has shaped almost two decades of pop and R&B. He joins hosts Phillionaire, Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony of Louis York, and Tamone Bacon for one of the most candid conversations in We Sound Crazy history. The episode is a first real look at Love/Hate 2, the long-awaited sequel to his 2007 classic, and the larger visual world he's building around the new era. Along the way, The Dream pulls back the curtain on a career that has put him in the studio with Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Jay Z, Rihanna, Kelly Rowland, Nicki Minaj and most of the biggest names in modern music. He finally addresses the legendary Dream Vault, confirming what fans have whispered about for years: a full unreleased Kelly Rowland project under the Dria moniker, an entire Nicki Minaj album in the can, and a stack of records he says he's planning to spend, present, and release on his own terms before he leaves this earth. He talks his brotherhood with Tricky Stewart, growing up on Aretha and Al Green in his mom's Buick Regal, the Atlanta and LaFace blueprint, his love of cars and craftsmanship, and why every great record (like every great Bentley) comes down to who actually gave a damn. Press play and find out exactly why The Dream remains one of the most important hitmakers of our lifetime. We Sound Crazy is your backstage pass to all things music and culture.
