The-Dream: "TRON" on SoundCloud.
The-Dream: "Parental Advisory" on SoundCloud.
Update: The-Dream has also shared "Parental Advisory", a 50-minute "retrospective mix" he made with Mick Boogie. It cycles through an assortment of his old stand-bys, from "Shawty is the Shit" to "Roc" and beyond. Listen above.
On his new single, "TRON", the-Dream attempts an angry rap track. He applies a warped filter to his vocals, rapping, "The fuck I look like, hatin' R&B niggas?/ I am R&B, nigga." Sounds like someone's been listening to "5AM in Toronto" on repeat and feeling inspired.
"TRON" is set to appear on the-Dream's upcoming album, IV Play (formerly stylized Fourplay), which is out on May 7.
