I'm sorry I got it in for your girlfriend
America has always been about living the dream, apparently. One artist who certainly is living that American dream right now is, The-Dream, who you have probably heard me mentioning a lot lately. That's because this guy, born Terius Nash, has been garnering the reputation of Timbaland for his production and praise for writing like Ne-Yo. Whilst he has been around for a while, writing the Britney Spears and Madonna collaboration, 'Me Against The Music' -- The-Dream has worked with artists on more recent projects including; Mariah Carey's request to 'Touch My Body' and Usher 'Moving Mountains'.
