IV Play by The Dream Debuts at 16 on Billboard Chart

Radio Killa  a.k.a. The Dream's song "IV Play" debuts at number 16 on the Billboard Charts from his fourth album, IV Play.  "IV Play's" lead single, "Slow It Down," debuted and peaked at No. 24 on Billboard's R&B Songs chart, No. 41 on R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs and No. 12 on R&B Digital Songs.

The Def Jam artist who has penned tracks for some your favorites such as Beyonce (Single Ladies, Love on Top), Rihanna (Umbrella) and Usher (Trading Places) debuted at number 
16 on the Billboard 200.

"IV Play" is laced with eclectic strings, big harmonies and droning synths reminiscent of '90s R&B and late-'80s/early-'90s rap, which the-Dream is "appreciating right now."

"Rhythm and blues is about what life is, it's about being able to talk heartbreak and understanding that people go through it, not about this fantasy in how much you're spending," - The-Dream says.
