The-Dream feat. Usher – Tampa [Audio]

The-Dream reconnects with Usher on “Tampa,” a sleek R&B record that pulls their shared history into the lead-up to Love/Hate II.

Produced by Pharrell Williams, the track moves with a late-night looseness: soft bounce, expensive-detail writing, and the kind of vocal stacking The-Dream has spent years turning into muscle memory. Usher slides into the record without forcing a big guest moment, matching Dream’s pocket with the ease of two artists who know exactly how much space the song needs.

“Tampa” follows “Bring That Body” as the next look at Love/Hate II, The-Dream’s upcoming sequel to his 2007 debut Love/Hate. The album is set for July 10, and this one leans into the grown, glossy side of the rollout without losing the slightly mischievous edge that has always made his best R&B feel sharper than the surface suggests.
