It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Def Jam’s latest R&B signee, THE-DREAM. He’s the genius behind Rihanna’s #1 hit “Umbrella” (The-Dream wrote the track in under 12 minutes), and is married to R&B songstress Nivea (Animalistic baby!). His new single “Shawty Is A Ten” is currently blazing radio waves across the country and I can dig it!

    Is it true the he is having an affair with Rihanna???? There is said to be a video of the two in the studio together and they are being very friendly. Also a song that Dream wrote for the two of them called “Living A Lie”, which talks about their love affair and how they have to hide their feelings for each other from the world. Whats up with that???

    » COMMENTING DO'S & DON'TS

    • DO: Speak your mind. All of it! We're not like those other blogs who over-moderate comments and delete people's opinions just because they don't agree with what their readers have to say.
    • DO: Stay on topic. If the post is about the BET Awards, don't come in here talking about what you're cooking for dinner or what happened at work today.
    • DON'T: Bash the contributors of this blog. We created this nice place for you, so the least you can do is show us a little respect. It's not cool to bash the commenters either.
    • DON'T: Just post "First!" as a comment and leave it at that. Yes, it's fun being first, and we understand that. But at least post a comment to go along with that. Comments with just that one word in it will be automatically deleted.
    • DON'T: Link to your site, or to other sites, in your comment. If you want to promote your site, the best way to do that would be to purchase some ad space, or resort to the cheaper alternative - request to be added to the blogroll. If you have something that might be of interest to the contributors, e-mail it to us. Don't post it here.
    • DON'T: Be a nuisance, and don't cause unnecessary drama. We can tell the difference between someone just stating their God-honest opinion and someone who has too much free time on their hands.
