The-Dream has announced the release of a free Internet album titled Terius Nash Est. 1977, which he plans to release before August 31st. The singer-songwriter, who is currently working on his fourth studio LP The Love, IV (Diary of a Madman) in time for a fourth quarter release, will release the 10-track giveaway under his government name Terius Nash and will be shooting videos for 1977 this week.

Additionally, he reveals that his label Def Jam Records is unhappy with his decision to give away an album and is “trying to stop it” from seeing the light of day. His upcoming fourth LP The Love, IV was originally due on his birthday, September 20th, but he pushed back the album because of “contract negotiations.”
