The Dream announced the release of his album Terrius Nash Est. 1977 to be later this year, but when he released the cover art for the project, comparisons to Jay-Z and Kanye’s Watch The Throne cover began to swirl. The Dream’s album cover is pictured to the right and as you can see the two covers do very much favor one another! The Dream responded on Twitter saying:

“They say my album cover is a Rip from [Watch The Throne] , if so i think its a great Rip gotta keep it in the Family ROC-KILLA”

“Lets make it clear, I do music now because I love it. We all know my album sales doesnt give me the liberty to release free music ,my writing career does. im not afraid of sales. I’ve sold records! It’s about the music. Im not mainstream, I’m not pretty and I’ll never use music as [an] abuse tool. My music is about the culture and im blessed to be able to express my self without fear! If one person listens, I’ve succeeded. My impact will never be about sales it’s about influence. I can say with out a doubt just as I have been influenced, I am now Influencing others…. and theres no amount of money that can compare especially when you are successful. My purpose is to serve music. When its time to make money we do. Right now its time to give back. 1977 Track listing will appear on Radiokillanation.com Aug 20th. Album cover will be inspired by my Mother.”
