The-Dream's "final" studio solo album dropped on tuesday called Love King. I love the two singles, "Love King" and "Make Up Bag", two classic Dream tracks. After these two tracks though, not much to be excited about on the album. "Nikki, Pt. 2" is alright and same with "F.I.L.A."; but without a doubt the first two tracks on the album are the best and the most consistent with the Dream style we all know and love. Still in the review stage so I haven't given the entire album the attention it deserves; but I'm guessing it's gonna be about the same as previous Dream albums, a couple of absolute hits and then a lot of filler.

If I haven't said it before, Curren$y is the shit. Check out "Brand New", "Roasted", and "The Hangover". They all have the traditional Curren$y sound and lyrical content, but I feel like he is bringing back the age of instrument laden beats that have a melodic sound and laid back tone backed with a chilled out flow that reps $y's laid back nature, something Mos Def made famous in the mid to late 90's (shout out to Gokul Krish). Can't wait for Pilot Talk and to listen to his much anticipated collabo with Wiz Khalifa, it's gonna be dope; and interestingly Mos (the master) is rumored to have produced a couple of tracks on the album.

Ordered Rick Ross's new album, Teflon Don, today. "Super High" was a decent single, but "B.M.F." shows why Rick Ross is the Bo$$.

Check out Lil Boosie "Top Notch", a dope track with a techno style Mouse beat. Lil Boosie is a guy who grows on you with his squeaky immature sounding voice; but this is the best I have heard from him in a while and it might be the last thing we hear from him as he might be facing the death penalty after being charged with 6 murders while already in prison. Tough break
