The Radio Killa is back and he’s brought along some new music with him!

“The Roc” serves as the lead single from The Dream‘s upcoming fourth studio album “The Love IV: Diary of a Madman,” due in stores sometime this year.

Take a listen below:

The Dream has obviously made some serious dough after writing hit singles for big name acts like Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber and others.

But none of the checks he’s received from his skills as a songwriter compare to the $15 million the famed producer/hit-maker banked following the success of Rihanna‘s hit single “Umbrella,” which he co-wrote with Jay-Z and Tricky Stewart.

The Dream, who also professionally goes by his government name Terius Nash, made the big money revelation while talking to UK radio personality Tim Westwood just before the Holidays.

“That record is probably somewhere around $15 mill,” he said in the interview, where he also confessed that he ‘gave’ his former wife Christina Milian writing credit on Justin Bieber’s “Baby,” you know … just to be “generous.”

He went on to joke: “I’m just trying to pay the bills, man. I got child support bills, I got old wives’ bills, I got new wives’ bills. I’m working on my third wife, so I gotta pay those bills.”

Speaking about the night he wrote Bieber’s mega hit ‘Baby’, The-Dream explained: “I was in my building at Def Jam and my friend Chris Higgs who was A&R-ing the project at the time said he wanted me to write a song for Justin Bieber.

“I said, ‘OK. You pay for my hotel room and I’ll write you a record’. He was like, ‘No, we’re not paying for your hotel room’. So I was like, ‘OK, I’m not going to write you a record’.”

He added: “So I guess everybody thought about it for a while and then they were like, ‘OK, we’ll pay for your room’. My hotel room is usually $3,200 per night, but my percentage for hit-and-miss is pretty high, so I was like, ‘Just pay for it’.

“I went to the studio that night and made the beat and the melodies. I let Christina Milian try the first verse melody and basically finished the track.”

Asked if Milian tried to claim a credit for the song, the producer replied: “She didn’t have to claim anything. I gave her a percentage of it.”

Questioned on whether she got the credit because she wrote the melody, The-Dream quipped: “No, that was just because I’m generous.”

Watch the full interview below:

The Dream is still promoting the hell out of his free album “1997″ (released under his legal name Terius Nash). And today, he released the video for “Long Gone,” which should hold fans over until he drops his next studio album “The Love, IV: Diary of a Madman” sometime in the coming months.

Watch The Dream’s new “Long Gone” video above!

Hot on the heels of the announcement that he will be releasing a free album at the end of this month, R&B singer/songwriter The Dream has put out a video — more like a silent trailer with a backing track — for his new song “Murderer.”

The track is slated to appear on both The Dream’s free project “1977″ (released under his birth name Terius Nash) and the upcoming movie Columbiana, starring actress Zoe Saldana, who stars in the clip.

Check it out!

The Dream has released the cover for his new 10-song LP 1977, which will available at the end of the month for free.

He also tweeted a few words in response to those who claimed he stole from the cover of Jay and Hov’s “Watch the Throne” album:

They say my album cover is a Rip from [Watch The Throne] , if so i think its a great Rip gotta keep it in the Family ROC-KILLA

Lets make it clear, I do music now because I love it. We all know my album sales doesnt give me the liberty to release free music ,my writing career does. im not afraid of sales. I’ve sold records! It’s about the music. Im not mainstream, I’m not pretty and I’ll never use music as [an] abuse tool. My music is about the culture and im blessed to be able to express my self without fear! If one person listens, I’ve succeeded. My impact will never be about sales it’s about influence. I can say with out a doubt just as I have been influenced, I am now Influencing others…. and theres no amount of money that can compare especially when you are successful. My purpose is to serve music.

When its time to make money we do. Right now its time to give back. 1977 Track listing will appear on Radiokillanation.com Aug 20th. Album cover will be inspired by my Mother.

Are you looking forward to The Dream’s Terius Nash’s free LP?

The Dream has announced his plans to release a free 10-Track LP under his legal name Terius Nash in the next few weeks to hold fans over until his next album “The Love, IV: Diary of a Madman“ drops later this year.

The R&B crooner broke the news late last night via his Twitter account.

The LP will be digitally free on August 31st. Are you excited???

Jay-Z and LeBron James brought out the stars Saturday night (Feb 19) in Los Angeles at their annual “Two Kings” dinner and after-party held in conjunction with NBA All-Star Weekend 2010. First up was the actual “Two Kings” dinner at Craft, followed by the after party at CAA in L.A.

This year’s event, sponsored by Bing, featured appearances from big names like Kanye West, Rihanna, Ciara, Drake, Ne-Yo, Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Amber Rose and plenty others.

Your thoughts on the pics?

The-Dream isn’t retiring after all…..

At the Los Angeles premiere of Justin Bieber’s “Never Say Never” documentary Tuesday night, the R&B singer/songwriter announced that he will be releasing an album at the end of the summer.

“Everybody’s calling for an album now, so I should have one out by August,” the singer said o the red carpet of the premiere.

But for right now…the Dream says he’s working on some tracks for JB’s next album.

“We’ve actually been working on the next record, so I’ve been writing, just to get ready,” he added.

We knew that whole I’m quitting music thing was for attention anyways. He just better come harder than Love King this time around!

What do you think?

When will the madness end???

The Dream and Christina Millian are back at each others throats again.  However this time Pop sensation Justin Bieber is involved!

According to TMZ, The Dream previously filed docs in Georgia agreeing to pay Milian 10% of his publishing interest in the Bieb’s hit single “Baby”, which he co-wrote. Well now, The Dream pissed because Christina is trying to renegotiate the settlement by demanding more support, including a greater percentage of the Bieber gold mine.

Since she has tried to renegotiate, The Dream is trying to pull the plug on any payments to her Christina is fighting back. Her lawyer tells TMZ:

“Mr. Nash filed for divorce. He wanted the divorce, not our client. She then agreed to resolve it peacefully and outside of the court. Now his lawyer is writing me saying there’s no agreement when we 100% made an agreement on the record.”

This is starting to sound like Nas and Kelis all over again. SMH!!!

The Dream has been exposed!

Singer Christina Milian is pissed off by the divorce papers filed by her hubby The Dream a.k.a. Terius Nash nine days before she gave birth to their only child……and wants the judge to know that he is a big fat liar! In her legal response filed last week according to TMZ, Milian is claiming that their marriage was not broken when The Dream filed the docs and even goes on to say that he cheated on her during their relationship.

But this isn’t even the worst part….

Christina also admits in the documents that she signed a settlement agreement with in which both parties waved any alimony or ownership right’s to the other person’s property. However she is claiming the only reason she signed the docs was because The Dream brought them to her bedside when she was 9 months pregnant and was in no state of mind to sign such papers.

Now that’s just downright dirty!! The things people do these days, SMH…

R&B singer/songwriter The Dream wants everyone to know that he’s not perfect.

In an open letter posted on his website, the “Makeup Bag” singer apologized for misleading everyone into thinking that his marriage with singer Christina Milian was fine when in reality it was far from that. The guy also goes to say that at one point he even attempted to commit suicide over the matter. (Wow… that’s a bit much!)

Peep the letter below:

In My Own Words:

First I want to thank God for the trials of life, without them we can’t know purpose!

I would love to tell the truth as to why my relationship wasn’t successful, but today that is between me and Christina. Its easy to say that it’s because of another woman or a new relationship but truthfully, IT’S NOT.

I take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for misleading everyone into thinking everything was fine and okay when we knew problems existed for awhile! I wanted to speak up but we decided it wasn’t for anyone to know. I would NEVER intentionally hurt a soul and everyone around me knows that! There was so much going on in me and Christina’s personal world that I tried to deal with it as delicately as I could and tried to regain my footing. Instead of being direct in order not to cause even more hurt or hurt someone’s feelings, I carried the weight in secret!

I am Human and people fall in and out of Love all the time… This is Life. Nothing’s promised or perfect, neither am I. I am not proud that I lost something we once had…LOVE! I’ve always been a Loving Father, Hard Worker, Generous, Stern and Eager to prove myself. My faults are I can be irresponsible and an ass sometimes, but I HAVE NEVER and WILL NEVER be a malicious person or wish harm to anyone, especially those I love or the mother of my child. I’m sorry for the embarrassment to everyone involved! If there’s anyone to blame and you can’t fathom this happening, please blame me and me alone for not being upfront! Even though we were trying to overcome personal things between us, I was just simply scared and embarrassed to let everyone know we WERE FAILING and HAVE NOW FAILED!

This is not to justify anything, it’s true emotion! It’s a real thing that involves real people! I’ve cried about this for months, after interviews, after prayer and I’ve tried to take my own life at a point because of the failure that was looming.

But I was reminded by my MOTHER that I am not “Superman” and its okay to lose sometimes…

This too shall pass! And everything will be fine!

Your thoughts?

R&B singer Christina Milian and her producer/songwriter/singer husband The Dream have officially split up as noted by a rep for The Dream who confirmed the news to UsMagazine.com earlier today.

“Terius ‘The-Dream’ Nash is saddened to announce that his marriage to Christina Milian was unsuccessful. The couple reached this decision in late 2009, but decided to keep the news private in efforts to protect their baby daughter Violet. They ask for consideration and respect for their family moving forward,” The Dream’s rep told UsMagazine.com.

Official word of the split came shortly after questionable photos of The Dream (real name: Terius Nash) and his assistant Melissa Santiago frolicking on the beach in the Caribbean hit the Internet. A few hours after the pics made their way to the web (and before the split was officially announced), Christina Milian took to her Twitter and said:

After being spotted out and about together in early 2009 around the time The Dream started working with Christina on a new album project that never saw the light of day, the couple initially denied that they were dating. But only a few months later in July, Nash, 32, and Milian, 28, were engaged and were married by September of the same year.

Milian gave birth to their daughter Violet back in February of this year.

We don’t know exactly behind their break up but based on the current circumstances, this divorce battle should be pretty interesting to watch. So many questions, so few answers.

Here we go again… Who’s got the popcorn??? (LOL!)

Somebody’s going to be spending way more than 5 stacks on a makeup bag!!

R&B singer The Dream was caught over the weekend creeping with his assistant Melissa Santiago in the Caribbean.  This may not be too great of news for The Dream (real name Terius Nash) though, because not only is he married to singer/actress Christina Milian, but the two also have a five month old daughter together! In the photos, The Dream and his assistant Melissa are shown being real intimate and lovey-dovey during their cheating scandal.

Is there a plague going around causing every male celebrity to cheat on their wives these days??? Let us know what you think after you peep the pics of Terius and his assistant below…

Lately we’ve been hearing a lot of talk about singer The Dream and to tell you the truth, none of it has been all that great!

First, it was his unnecessary remake of Aaliyah‘s classic “One in a Million” that received a lot of criticism and negative feedback from everyone. Then it was the accusations made by two Bay area producers who say he and singer Mariah Carey stole their hit song. And now, The Dream himself is speaking out, and according to the “Love King” singer in a recent interview with Ms Drama TV, he will not be putting out anymore albums past his latest release.

Continue reading to see what Terius had to say:

“Nope, there’s not another album, this is it. Nobody appreciates music so I’m out. I’m out. I’m good, so take that. Like Jay said, maybe y’all will remember me when I fade to black. So it’s out.”

MS DRAMA TV

Well, we guess this is the end of the road for The Dream then. Too bad for the radio killa! He can still do his thing behind the scenes though **kanye shrug**

R&B producer/singer/songwriter The Dream hosted an exclusive private listening session in Atlanta Monday night (May 24) at Outkast’s Stankonia Studios. The Executive VP of Island Records (and new father) wanted to give the top DJ’s and industry heads in the area a glimpse into his upcoming 3rd studio album Love King, due to drop June 29th.

Lots of reports are going around about security being extra tight (and hella unfriendly) to folks who were invited to the session. And word is The Dream didn’t seem to mind (or care). Here’s what ATLien from Straight from the A had to say about her experience at the event:

Last night, I attended a private listening session for Terius “The-Dream” Nash upcoming “Love King” project at Outkast’s Stankonia Studios. The evening started out status quo, but eventually turned bizarre as hell after the singer/songwriter/Executive VP of Island Records arrived to the session with 5 burley security guards in tow. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m all for personal protection WHEN it’s necessary, but at a label hosted event held at a private studio full of Atlanta area industry peeps, it seemed a bit much!

Mr. Nash posted up in the corner as his 5 (yes FIVE) bodyguards assumed the protective position in front of him. As they guarded an invisible line, interaction was impossible and The Dream didn’t seem to mind, as he bobbed his head (alone) in the corner. During most listening sessions, the artist normally announces each song and explains to the listeners it’s concept. Not this time. As each song played, there was no discussion about it’s meaning or it’s inspiration, and because of the “invisible line” guarded by The-Dream’s FIVE bodyguards, attendees were immediately turned off by it all and unfortunately the music took a backseat to security.

I, personally, had a great time rubbing elbows with my peers, but was disappointed by The-Dream’s lack of interest in anyone or anything. In a room full of industry execs, DJ’s, media, bloggers… who were all personally invited to attend, the lack of interaction was a complete turn off.

How are you gonna personally invite people to a “private” and “exclusive” event and have bodyguards posted up all over blocking any and all interaction with you? SMH… Check out a few pics of Mr. Nash at the “Love King” album listening session in Atlanta below…

Mariah Carey and The Dream are being accused of theft!

A lawsuit was recently filed against the singers and record label Island Def Jam for copyright infringement over the single “My Love,” a duet from The-Dream’s last album Love vs. Money. According to Bay Area producers Preston Marshall and Demario Driver, The Dream and Mariah’s song sounds a lot like their song “Are You the One.”

“I sent the song to (Huffman) via email. I never heard back from him. (After hearing the song on The-Dream’s album) I was hurt because you put a lot of time and effort into this. You know, music is my life. I feed my family this way.”

The gentlemen are now seeking $450,000 in damages for copyright infringement, international interference with economic advancement and fraud. Neither Mariah, The-Dream nor Island Def Jam have spoken on these accusations yet.

Earlier this week you were trying to remake Aaliyah’s classic “One in a Million,” now we’re stealing songs??? Come on The-Dream!

Not that we really needed it or anything, but Christina Milian confirmed to People that she is indeed carrying The Dream‘s bun in her oven. She told the popular newsmag at a party she was in hosting at Las Vegas’ Tabu Nightclub that she’s about halfway through her pregnancy (4 and a half months) which means the baby should make its arrival sometime in February 2010.

“My husband and I are expecting,” she told PEOPLE Friday night. “We’re about four and a half months along, about 19 weeks.” With a noticeable bump under her flowing dress, Milian said she knows the sex of the child but wants to keep it secret. “We’re really excited,” she said.

With her husband, singer-songwriter The Dream, absent at MGM Grand’s Tabù lounge, Milian sipped water and danced on her VIP table with a group of girlfriends.

Word on the rumormill is that Christina Milian is pregnant with her first child! She and The Dream got married a couple of weeks ago at one of those Las Vegas wedding chapels, and a source tells US Magazine that marriage was always going to happen … but the pregnancy wasn’t planned.

“The pregnancy was a surprise, but they were getting married regardless,” a source tells Us. Milian has already been talking about children. “Of course, I would love to have kids,” she told Us earlier this summer at the premiere of Bring It On: Fight to the Finish in NYC. “I think that’s some of the reasons why I do movies like this.”

Even The-Dream (real name: Terius Hagert Youngdell Nash) — who proposed to Milian with a six-carat sparkler from Ivanka Trump’s jewelry line — has been talking about a family. “I love kids, and [Christina] loves kids probably more than I do,” he told Us in July. “She’ll make that time [to have a baby]. In the next couple of years, there’ll be something around.”

The newlyweds had a private ceremony Sunday (Sep 13) at the Hilton Hotel in Rome, Italy following their shotgun wedding in Vegas. Only close friends and family were invited to the wedding in Italy though. And friends/family who couldn’t make the trip to Rome will be invited to the renewal of their vows this time next year when the expecting parents celebrate their first anniversary.

Christina Milian and The Dream officially tied the knot in a quick ceremony at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. The couple’s shotgun wedding went down at exactly 12:00 AM Friday morning (Sep 4).

But sources tell MTV that this was only the first of three ceremonies. The newlyweds are set to get married overseas in Rome soon and the two will later renew their vows in the U.S. on their first wedding anniversary in front of family and friends who couldn’t make the trip to Italy.

Christina and The Dream (real name: Terius Nash) have been dating since January 2009 and have been all over the blogs since.

Christina Milian and her fiance The Dream were spotted hand-in-hand as they made their rounds Friday (Aug 28) in New York City. The two soon-to-be newlyweds were also spotted inside of American Apparel shopping for some new extra smedium outfits to add to The Dream’s collection.

Meanwhile, Christina talked to MTV recently about her upcoming studio album, Elope, due to be released later this year or early next year.

“I’m excited. I’m, like, waiting forever, like, ‘When does the single come out?’ ” she jokingly told MTV News. “I don’t even know.” She was even unsure of the title of the album, which she worked on with her real-life love and fiancé, The Dream. “It’s called Elope right now. Who knows, knowing me — I’m changing constantly,” she offered. “But it’s called Elope. I did it with The-Dream and Tricky Stewart. I’m really excited. It’s [about] a young female growing into a woman, and it’s very honest. The album’s fun, so I’m looking forward to performing it.”

She explained that the projected album title does reflect events in her own life, just not in the way that you might think. “Actually, the name change came … I don’t know if I was engaged yet, but it really didn’t have anything to do with it — more so about taking a step as a woman and making decisions on my own and doing things without necessarily the permissions of others. And I think that’s really more about adulthood and coming into adulthood,” she explained. “I think that’s where we came up with that one.”

Recently, producer/songwriter-turned-singer The Dream announced that after his last album Love King is released, he will be retiring. He claims that he will be retiring because he does not want others to tell him when he is done making records; he’d rather tell himself when his last record will be:

“It’s the third album and my final album, actually. I’m not doing an album after that. I’ve accomplished what I’ve accomplished. I feel like I’d rather kill The-Dream than somebody else kill me. So that’s basically the big headline there, killing The-Dream.”

Watch the whole video after the break:

The Dream and Christina Milian hit up Big Billy Clark’s Annual Debauchery Birthday Pool Party Saturday (Jul 18) at a private residence in Los Angeles. Christina showed off her six-carat engagement ring (which comes straight from Ivanka Trump’s jewelry line) at the event and told Us Magazine they haven’t set a date yet and don’t plan on having a “big wedding.”

“We don’t have plans yet — but it hasn’t [already] happened, that I can confirm. We just want to have our closest friends and family there; it’s not going to be too big.”
