1977 (also known as Terius Nash: 1977)[2] is the fourth album by American singer-songwriter The-Dream. It was originally released as a free download on August 31, 2011, through the singer's Radio Killa website. Recorded over the course of two weeks, the album was issued in response to contractual issues with The-Dream's label, Def Jam Recordings, delaying the production of his planned IV Play album. 1977 was later released for commercial sale by Def Jam on December 18, 2012,[3] and IV Play followed in 2013.
