    That's been gone for a while. He left the label in the midst of promoting Crown/Jewel, never got to put out the Jewel half, probably just chose to scrap it altogether/the label pulled it back.

    A shame cause Fruition is one of my favorite records of his. (I still have the files so doesn't really matter)

  • Crown EP has Fruition, Cedes Benz, Prime... my nigga was on a roll!

    I remember getting into The Dream during covid and it was still up there. Even 2021 I believe. Sucks

    from Variety interview in May:

    You mentioned separately that you have records lined up after “Love/Hate 2.”

    One is “Love.” One is a “Nikki” album, though. There was a “Nikki” album ready to go and it’s really good, I’m not going to say great because I know I need to touch it with my 2026 mind. But the stories are really good. And people have been asking me for it for the longest, but I didn’t want to just throw something out and not support it. So I’m happy that this came around where, cool, I can make “Love/Hate 2” and then go into that.

    Met him the other day at my job. Dude is super nice, complimented my fit and we shot the s*** for a bit. Told him how important he was to pop R&B music he was in the late 2000s and throughout the 2010s and he looked damn near ready to cry. Humble tears of course.

    It was a surprise because normally he displays a lot of confidence in himself and his talent. That's always been one of the things I've known him for at least. One of those rare but dope candid moments from an artist.

    That’s dope as f*** dude

    the only thing he's been teasing in the past few years is Nikki and I don't see powder coat having been slated for that so not sure what he's talking about lol. on Sway he said him and 2chainz have a joint album coming soon so maybe that?

    A 2 chainz the-dream collab album sound like a lost early 2010’s GOOD Music album in a good way lol

    Dream announced it in one of his interviews. Think it was the Sway one. I'm nervous because this seems like something that should've been done years ago. I don't want it to sound dated. They better figure it out lol

    The best songs on this are the more mature and introspective. The whole love/hate retro thing is ok but I need a grown album from dream

    Same, now that you said that. I wouldn’t be surprised either. Just like love affair. Just found out through one of his recent interviews that album was IV Play.

    But then he announced Love Affair again around 2016/2017 with a new tracklist. A bunch of those songs ended up on the Sextape trilogy.

    He also announced an album back in the days called 1984: Persona of love. I think it was some sort of follow-up to 1977.

    It's still up for me (I live in Sweden). On the other hand, we only have access to the non-deluxe, non-explicit version of Love King.
