Christopher “Tricky” Stewart and Terius “The-Dream” Nash took over the radio in March of 2007, and they haven’t loosened up their grip ever since. As Rihanna’s smash single, “Umbrella,” exploded across the country, the production and writing talents of both men immediately skyrocketed into high-demand. In the months to follow, the duo was courted to create hit records for Mary J. Blige (“Just Fine”), Mariah Carey (“Touch My Body”) and Jesse McCartney (“Leavin”).
The best example of their collaborative talents arrived on store shelves this past winter, when The-Dream released his debut album, “Love/Hate.” The gold-certified project, which spawned the Top 25 singles “Shawty is A 10,” “Falsetto,” and “I Luv Your Girl,” was fully written, produced, composed and arranged by the duo. Additionally, their success has given them the opportunity to craft hits for a slew of A-list artists including Beyonce and Ciara, in addition to securing a December release date for Nash’s sophomore project.
In an exclusive interview with DJBooth’s DJ “Z,” The-Dream and Tricky Stewart step inside the booth to talk about their history as collaborative partners, what they’ve both been able to learn from one another, how their success over the last twelve months has changed their lives, and what listeners can expect from The-Dream’s sophomore album, “Love vs. Money.”
