With all this “King of R&B” talk going on, it’s only right The-Dream resurfaced with new music. And by new music, I mean 38 new songs (yes, thirty-eight) across three new projects officially dubbed Ménage à Trois: Sextape.
“Everyone that knows me knows I don’t save records. I try and build in that moment and be inspired by the moment,” The-Dream told Billboard about keeping things fresh on his new projects. “This is all new shit. I didn’t cut any corners of edginess. I just stuck to what my root was, because that’s what happens. You can be an architect of a certain thing and what’s new is always ‘better’ than what’s old. I can’t compete with what’s new, people expect certain things from me, whether they wanna admit it or not, but nobody can ever say I’ve made a shitty record or ever made an album with fillers. That’s not ever anything that I want to do, that’s me letting my core down and the core of R&B down. I just got bored for awhile and I wanted to dive more into things with people like Nas and Jay-Z and create a culture for the Dream that wasn’t like, ‘Oh, the king of R&B!’ I want to be the king of music.”
After weeks of teasing the release on his socials, The-Dream’s “38 Special” is feature-free and if you ask the veteran singer, there’s no fillers and it ain’t no “church R&B” shit, because he “changed that 10 years ago.”
