On May 14, 2012, in an interview with MTV, Meek Mill revealed the album, "ain't gonna be all over the place like the mixtapes. This album I'ma make it connect, I'ma try to perfect my craft a little more; make sure the flows touch the beats a little better, make sure the beats sound clearer." He also expressed a hope to have these fellow rappers French Montana and Rick Ross (who is also his label-boss), to appeared on the album. Later, he stated, in an interview with ''Billboard'', that he was recording "'two to three songs' per day in a studio recently installed on his tour bus." Meek Mill also revealed he did a collaboration with Nas on the track, titled "Maybach Curtains", which may appear on the album. On the collaboration, he stated that, "Nas is one of the best rappers ever. Just having him in the studio, that's a big thing to me. I grew up listening to this guy. I came and I played the beat for him and he liked my music, so we just vibed out." He also added that when it comes to future collaborations for the album, "If I have a song that sounds like it fits Nicki Minaj the best or it fits T.I. the best, that's the people I would sort of lean towards getting on them songs. But it depends on how the songs fit the person." On July 25, 2012, an unfinished version of his track "Maybach Curtains", was leaked to the internet, which prompting Meek Mill to take to twitter by saying "Who leaked maybach curtains....I'm not letting nobody hear my shit at all!"〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://twitter.com/MeekMill/status/228221650057961472 )〕 In August 2012, during an interview with ''HipHopWired'', Meek stated that, "As far as features on my album I might have the hottest guys in the game that I got on the (): Kendrick Lamar, Drake, 2 Chainz...all them guys on the mixtape, so most likely they might be appearing back on the album, but I don't know for sure." ''Complex'' named the album cover the eighteenth best of 2012. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dreams and Nightmares」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
