Beyonce Recorded A Whole Fela-Kuti Inspired Album - The-Dream

According to a recent admission on Tuesday night (March 17)  by hit-maker and Grammy-winning artist The-Dream, he revealed that he recorded an entire, unreleased album with Beyonce prior to 2011 LP 4...

According to the producer behind hits "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" and "Run The World (Girls)," the project was inspired by Nigerian Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti ...

Sharing the news while submitting some history on his various production and writing work for the acclaimed lyrics site Genius.com , The-Dream revealed that before her '4' album was completed they recorded a whole body of work with a Fela sound.

He said :

"We did a whole Fela album that
didn't go up," Terius Nash (his real
name) wrote in a lengthy annotation to the lyrics of "End Of Time." "It was right before we did 4 . We did a whole different sounding thing, about twenty songs," he continued. "[Beyonce] said she wanted to do something that sounds like Fela. That's why there's so much of that sound in the 'End of Time'."

There's always multiple albums being made. Most of the time we're just being creative, period. We're talking about B, somebody who sings all day long and somebody who writes all day long. There's probably a hundred records just sitting around.
