The-Dream has teamed up with Jay-Z on "High Art," off Dream's forthcoming IV Play . The R&B multi-hyphenate slathers on the Auto-Tune, as expected, and sings about getting turnt up over a woozy beat with crackling percussion. Once Hov jumps in, he drops a line about being back home with his "BeyBey." Dream tweeted that it's a "fuckin real fun energetic summer song," and while we're not sure "energetic" is the word we'd use to describe it, it should go well with sweaty, blurry summer nights. Hear it after the jump. [...]
Beyoncé won't appear on the new Dream record (a Culture Club sample could not be cleared), but this collaboration with Jay-Z celebrating the fine art of smoking dry blunts your bros will. It's "Just a ... read more
One of the first things The-Dream says before getting into any singing on his Jay-Z-featuring cut "High Art" is "girl, I'm missing you like bitches miss my music." I'm one of those people who has her first listen of "Sex Intelligent (Remix)" permanently etched into her brain because of one lyric: "6/7/2011, I'mma drop that Love Affair ." The promise of a fourth album (especially after he noted the first three were part of a trilogy that would be the only material in his solo catalogue) was a beacon of light on the already-insane Love King . But [...]
The-Dream promised that his forthcoming album, IV Play, would feature some industry heavyweights, and to not disappoint, he's got none other than Jay-Z providing a verse on his latest single, "High Art." Featuring The-Dream's signature auto-tuned sound and Hov laying down rhymes over a skittering beat, it's exactly what you would expect from the two. [...]
The-Dream has still been getting flack since his wardrobe malfunction at the Grammys. And even though Jay gave him sh*t and questioned his stylist’s credibility, he still owes Terius for all the hits he’s penned for Mrs. Carter. All is good. The-Dream never really disappoints, and you're gonna listen to Hov even if he rhymes about “my balls got trapped in my zipper.” Illuminati references intact, this is nothing more than another decent outing from the best of both worlds.
Terius Nash, AKA The-Dream and Jay-Z have become one of music's most dynamic songwriting duos as of late. Earlier this year, they both earned a Grammy for "No Church in the Wild" , and now The-Dream finds himself in the studio working on Jay-Z's new solo album. But first, The-Dream will release his own new solo album, IV Play , on May 28th, and he's recruited Jay to guest on the track "High Art". IV Play is set [...]
The beautiful affair of hip hop and edm.There was a quiet buzz on the Internet yesterday about a collaboration of some sort in the works and here it is. A mixtape entitled Trap Nation posted on Jay-Z's blog Life + Times. There are a lot of impressive producers on the list including Brillz, What So Not, and gLAdiator to name a few. Leave it to Jigga to bank on this huge trap movement. Expect a lot of classic Roc Nation artists laced up with some nasty 8082s. We can dig it. Check out the full stream [...]

A word often associated with the Millennial Generation is “lost.” We’re told it won’t be found until we start to see the light peaking somewhere out of the recession, the student loan debt crisis is resolved, same-sex marriage is embraced throughout all 50 states, and the unemployment rate plummets. Like every older generation before it, this generation is often lauded as apathetic and entitled. Along with Hemingway and Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s perceived his own generation as “lost” in the sense that the “restlessness approached hysteria.” Amidst the lavish Gatsby-themed parties that seem to be a favorite of [...]
There's plenty about Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of The Great Gatsby that evokes an instinctively negative reaction — including, to an extent, the whole idea of a Baz Luhrmann adaptation of The Great Gatsby in the first place. So it goes with the film's soundtrack; if you take a look at the tracklisting, you might blanch at the presence of Lana Del Rey, Fergie, and (gulp), will.i.am. But if you suspend your expectations for long enough to evaluate the way the music works within the context of the film - which also merits consideration on its own terms [...]
It is my turn to give my personal 10 favorite songs of all time ( Check out Part I ). I have picked songs that have stood the test of time and remained favorites of mine throughout the years. These are all classic songs that have great production, lyrics, message, replay-ability, and will sound great not just in your headphones but live as well. #10. "Swim Good" - Frank Ocean This is the most recent songs to come out to make this list and it is for good reason. Frank Ocean is [...]
It's been talked about for weeks and we've revered in the release of each track as it surfaced online, but now the all-star soundtrack for Baz Luhrmann 's The Great Gatsby is finally here. Graced by the likes of some of today's biggest stars, including Beyonce , Lana Del Rey and Florence Welch , with the expert curation of Jay-Z , the compilation seems like one of those too big to fail projects. Which, of course, often portends failure. So how [...]
It's with a faint sense of trepidation we hike forever upward toward Alexandra Palace, not least as the sweltering trudge seemingly represents the metaphoric arrival of festival season which begins in earnest in but a few short weeks' time. It's the time of the season for early starts and later nights, lager glugged from the moment morning stumbles into afternoon as liver, lobes and inner ears quiver as one. Which painfully reminds me I've neglected to bring the old in-ears. Shite. Though Karen O & co. haven't opted for anywhere near as ruinous a line up as ATP [...]
Did You Hear? :: Who knew Blue Ivy would be following in her mommy's footsteps so soon? For the May 4 Mrs. Carter Show stop in London, Beyonce brought her daughter on stage during "Irreplaceable." While it's weird to see Bey looking at her daughter as she sings, "I can have another you in a minute," we'll still consider this Blue Ivy's official diva debut. [ VIBE ] :: In other baby news, Kreayshawn is pregnant! The rapper announced the news on Instagram, writing, "Everyone’s been [...]
![[News] Justin Timberlake Announces 'The 20/20 Experience' Pt. 2, Fall Tour Dates](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4935554_lg.jpg)
Justin Timberlake 's The 20/20 Experience , his first album in six years, is the result of a lot of hard work, but the recording sessions left Timberlake with more than one album worth of material. It's been rumored that he would be releasing a follow-up to his newest LP this fall, and now it's been confirmed. Taking to his Facebook page Timberlake posted the photo above, and it looks like we can expect The 20/20 Experience Pt. 2 on September 30th. This summer, Timberlake will team up with Jay-Z [...]
We have one more day to wait until The Great Gatsby's amazing soundtrack gets released (at least, from previews it seems to live up to the hype). I heard this song in its entirety on Friday night and I now can't stop listening: Combine it with this and you have a winner: I have a soft spot for "Back to Black" because I felt like lived it for most of 2006, starring a guy who strung me along for fun, a game for him.
