The-Dream had quite the busy weekend. As we reported on last night, he teased fans with a new EP Royalty: The Prequel, which is slated to arrive today, July 7th. But that's not all the r'n'b singer has been up to, more reports have come in today, announcing a new label spearheaded by the artist, plus additional reports that he got married over the 4th of July weekend.
The label, Contra-Paris, is a joint venture between long time friend and collaborator Tricky Stewart. Dream announced the news on Instagram, describing it as a “designer and culture label” inspired by his love for Paris.
"Welcome to the Designer and Culture Label….. CONTRA-PARIS… Thank you to all who have made this possible. Before I have mentioned my adoration for Paris and also how our culture has impacted everything from Fashion to Jazz and now Modern Music.

Me and my Partner Tricky Stewart will do our best at showing you the world through the eyes Of the Young Black Dreamers. Love and Sophistication are two ideal parts of wanting to live “Fancy”.

We want to change how you feel about Life through music and Culture and also change what we see in Each other! Love," he wrote on an Instagram post.
The Radio Killa took to Instagram once more to announce his new marriage, although the name of the lady he wed remains a secret. This will be The-Dream's third marriage.
