Eddie brought you the world premiere of the track on the "West Coast Grind" radio show in the update below, and we're already back with the full track available for download in MP3. This is the official first single from Crooked I's upcoming solo album "B.O.S.S.".

The track features Akon on the hook, is entitled "Dream Big", and was produced by Konvict Muzik producer Detail. This should be the official signal for the wheels to start rolling on Crooked I's album, the single is here, so it's time to push. Check out "Dream Big" below:

this is what i posted in the other thread:

Crooked I ft Akon "dream big".......its alright....


Sounds like a mixtape track... gots potential though... Sounds like they just paid akon to come and do the hook quick...

And i think crooked i has done so many freestyles that this song sounds like just a freestyle...
crooked talking about haters, westcoast, his 16's, getting paper

His verses are all over the place with the content.  It could have been a nice storytelling track...
 
Song has NO bass at all though...  Its missing a nice bassline...

I give it a 3.5 / 5

Hopefully it sounds alot better when we get the CDQ...

Hopefully you guys can interview Crooked I real soon!!!

Another interview?  Just search for it on Google.  They all say the same thing.  Matter of fact I'll save you the trouble.  Here is what he says:

COB! Album coming soon.

Seriously though, this song is cool.  I don't think it will make much noise on the commercial tip though.  I think a lot of people are going to expect more because everyone's been waiting for so long so it puts him in a lose, lose situation.  I give him props for atleast dropping something.

In what way or form is this more memorable? Maybe for you because u might like Crooked more but other wise no. Games track
thats not even on the album right now got spins, Crooked I's probably wont. This will not even get half the spins Certified get so
how is this more memorable?

seems like they misbudgeted by spending all the money on akon and only having a few crumbs left to pay some producer for a beat - thats the only explanation for the cheapy beat. what happened to crooked's amazing deal he's been upgrading and upgrading. there aint gonna be no 'big' album lanching off this single :/

I like it. The production is missing some bassline like others said but this might not be the final version. Crooked spits dope as usual, only thing is the Akon hook. I'm a big fan of Akon but it sounds like he just emailed the hook.

In terms of this being a single, I don't see it blowing up, NWA was much better for that.

I think that this track is going to get the wheel turning basically. I'm sure once it gets out there and starts floating around people are going to be like "Damn, Crooked's that dude!"

Then he will probably drop something more commercial for the club circuit.

pretty damn dope, akon did his thing on the hook..lol at ppl calling this an 'emailed hook' when
A) it doesnt sound like that at all and
B) wasnt it confirmed akon owns a studio right down the street from crooked i and they worked on this together?

some of y'all haters amaze me..who said they spent the budget on akon and went to get a cheap producer..the producer is akon's in-house  producer over at Konvict, he does A LOT of konvict records, so its not like they looked for someone cheap :-\

good record this is!

U a fag for that comment.  Why u posting in here if u aint gonna download it?  Just cuz the mods may or may not be "losers"?

I still think he shoulda re-released Str8 Bosses.

Sounds decent after giving it two spins. I have to admit, I was expecting more from his Akon-featured single.
I remember that "Boom Boom Clap", "Straight Bosses" and "New West Anthem" made MUCH more of an impact on me than "Dream Big". Those three songs really had the potential to blow up (in my opinion). With the right push & promotion, it was possible.

I think "Dream Big" will make some noise on US radio stations, but nothing too big. I hope I'm wrong though.

Anyhow, I give a fuck about a single. All I'm REALLY interested in is hearing the album 8)

Definately been waiting a long time for this, and to me it was worth the wait. This is some quality shit right here. Akon laid down a nice hook and Crooked I spit some nice verses. I like that beat too. All around a solid track that should get some big spins. The album needs to be coming out soon though, they can't wait that long or like anything, it will lose steam. 4/5

Crooked dope on it. Its a more memorable song than Games Big Dreams but the base needs some base...

In what way or form is this more memorable? Maybe for you because u might like Crooked more but other wise no. Games track
thats not even on the album right now got spins, Crooked I's probably wont. This will not even get half the spins Certified get so
how is this more memorable?

Games song will only get spins cause theres a lot of games fans out there that want it played. Games will go gold whereas Crooked will do well to push 100k. Games song just washed over me whereas Crookeds had some memorable lyrics and the hook, which lets both songs down, somehow stayed in my mind all day after only one listen.

In my opinion it's definitely a good track but not what I was expecting for Crook's long-awaited first single.

My two biggest problems with this are that the title/hook is too similar to Game's "Big Dreams", and that I can't stand Akon.

this is what i posted in the other thread:

Crooked I ft Akon "dream big".......its alright....


Sounds like a mixtape track... gots potential though... Sounds like they just paid akon to come and do the hook quick...

And i think crooked i has done so many freestyles that this song sounds like just a freestyle...
crooked talking about haters, westcoast, his 16's, getting paper

His verses are all over the place with the content.  It could have been a nice storytelling track...
 
Song has NO bass at all though...  Its missing a nice bassline...

I give it a 3.5 / 5

Hopefully it sounds alot better when we get the CDQ...



this is exactly how i was feeling. I was real disappointed. My expectations were very high the moment i heard the hook and beat. crook really deserves his shot, but this track coulda have been much more. It sounds like he is rapping at/down on you rather than to you which could hurt him when it comes to certain audiences. I felt like he was mad at me cuz he went through hard times. it seems like he is letting is image as a lyrical assassin get in the way of him making good songs. The emotion in his voice doesn't match the direction of the beat IMO. if he woulda took the emotion from my life pt2 and applied that formula on this, it would have came out better. For the record I really hope i am wrong and this track blows up

It's not as bad upon consecutive listens but it's conspicuous dude is holding back.  He has so much more to offer.  If he chooses the right music to fit his flow there is no limit to what he can do.  I guess we'll find out if the album drops.

yeah man...after i made my version of the song wit the bass added... i listened to it some more and liked it a lil more...

but to tell you the truth, this track doesnt have any replay value...  I havent really listened to it much...

Its like you said, the emotion in his voice doesnt match the beat...

And i agree wit you alot with the "lyrical assassin" hes trying to do...  His raps were never like this until he started doing the hiphop weeklies...  which were coo for mixtapes and freestyles but once you start making actual songs you got to switch it up...

I just dont like the fact that crooked i is rapping about haters and internet bloggers and his 16 bars and the westcoast on an actual song and not a freestyle thats supposed to be a deep track about dreaming...

I just think he needs to focus and stop rapping about random things on his tracks...

If a song has to grow on u that means it's not that good in the first place.  and u have to keep listening to find things u lilke about it pretty much..

nah. there's been tracks that i didnt like much at first and are now are some of my fav tracks.



Examples?

I'm not dissing ANYONE in this thread but the act of listening to a song again and liking it more than before is proposturous.   Are you missing little things u didnt hear before that somehow make the song so much better than last time?  The bare bones of the song which should be the reason u like or dislike the song are somehow hidden until later listens?

This is called Dickriding syndrome.

Ur favorite artist releases a song that isnt their style or just isnt a good song..  But wait, its ur favorite artist this cant be!!!  Now comes the grasping.  Ur ears start grasping to something, anything, that will release seratonin into ur brain.  The way he raps offbeat, the way the instrumental doesnt mix with the vocals.. It's all a refreshing escape from the world of proper songs isnt it?  Of course it is, your favorite artist would never put out a song that u dont like...

n/m I'm rambling, peace out.
