The-Dream has been busy over the last few days.

First he got married, then today he announced the formation of his own imprint, Contra-Paris, and that he would be dropping a new EP tonight.  After taking a listen to Royalty, there is some major hit or miss going on vocally but the songwriting and production are on point.  I spent good part of my listening time wondering what some of these tracks would sound like in the hands of August Alsina, Drake or re-written to fit Rihanna or Bridget Kelly.  Still, there are some real enjoyable moments with tracks like Pimp C Lives, Outkast, and Cold.

Note:  The-Dream has decided to offer this EP for free!  You can either download tracks individually through the player as the play or the whole thing through the Contra-Paris website.
