He may be one of the world’s most iconic songwriters, penning hits such as ‘Umbrella‘ and ‘Single Ladies’, but it seems that The Dream is one performer who is not content with resting on his laurels.
For he has confirmed that he is forming a new band. Of the Hip-Rock persuasion.
More information below…
He revealed:
“I’m listening to music for a future band I haven’t made yet. I have 53 records and a direction for a new NWA type Hip-Hop Rock band. Real messages, very political.”
Interesting.

This sounds fresh and original….I don’t like the way it sounds in my head but who knows it could work!
Sorry but this will NOT work……
It didnt work for Pharrell and N.E.R.D and its not goin to work for him.
Well The Roots have already been doing this for years, not sure how he will find mainstream success with this idea.
please dont.
If Dream is going to be in it himself…
HELL NAW!
Remember the last time someone in Hip Hop tried to do rock????
HMMMM!!! Can’t wait to hear!
If it was another producer -new and fresh- I would be excited, but I think The-Dream is played out.I don’t think he can offer something different to what he’s already done.
Remember the last time someone in Hip Hop tried to do rock???? (cough Wayne cough)
it worked better for Pharell than Wayne imo.
WILL SOMEONE GIVE THIS DUDE A CHAIR ALREADY!!!
HAVE A DAMN SEAT!
@MALIBU BARBIE-
LMAO
I would very much like a Hip-Rock band. But not by The Dream.
HOLD UP!I just read the “He may be one of the world’s most iconic songwriters” part!WHAT???You think he is iconic???Aside from the fact that this is obviously over exaggerated, why are you kissing his ass?Last year, you were calling him “the artist that is yet to go platinum”.Anyway…
He must have never heard of Odd Fututre
Please Sit
LMAOOOO
HOW HE GONNA DO NWA TYPE STUFF IN HIS FALSETTO SQUEAKY TYPE VOICE?
LOOKS LIKE FAILURE.
I think it sounds like a good, fresh idea. The Dream is a good producer and songwriter.
