In The-Dream’s music video for “ROC”, the lead single from his upcoming fourth LP The Love, IV: Diary of a Madman, the R&B crooner shows the everyman the keys to a “successful” evening. First, a little time at the arcade (undoubtedly to play a sensual round of Ms. Pac-Man), followed by a poolside BBQ where Dream whips up a batch of his patented Dream Patties. From there, it’s back to the house for some slow grindin’ and sushi inside a balloon maze. Follow these steps precisely and you too can do more rockin’ than an earthquake in a quarry. Watch the video below.

The Love, IV: Diary of a Madman is due sometime this year via Radiokilla Records. Stay tuned for more. Update: The-Dream has announced the “Kill The Lights” tour that runs throughout March. Peep the full schedule below.
