After much anticipation and a slight delay The Dream has finally released Crown, the first of his two planned EPs for 2015. The six-song project finds The Dream alternating between vulnerable and cocky with his signature atmospheric aesthetic. "I know you think you're out of my league," he sings on "Prime" before adding, "But I'm tryna tell you, girl, I'm in my prime." Two songs later, he lays it all out on "All I Need," ending his final verse with "I'd die without you." On the closing "Cedes Benz" he takes to rapping before shifting tones and riding out with one last tender plea.
