The-Dream Releases Short Film Genesis, Featuring Ten New Songs
The-Dream has released a new 42-minute film featuring 10 previously unreleased songs, titled Genesis. It’s available to watch now on Tidal.
According to a press release, Genesis is intended as a “prequel” to the-Dream’s musical output in 2016. According to its Tidal description, Genesis “explores variations of his [The-Dream’s] random dreams represented as symbols, the face of his soul, and the conflict within himself.”
Watch a trailer for Genesis below, along with a snippet of “Virtuous”—a collaboration with Wiz Khalifa that appears on the new project. If you’ve got a Tidal subscription, check out the film here.
Here’s what The-Dream had to say about Genesis in a press release:
This visual art project was created to give fans a glimpse of my daily thoughts. I, along with my fans, are lovers of music and art, but to me those two worlds are one and the same. I can never fully explain what I see and what I hear separately, it must be fused into one. For instance you take a song like “Holy Grail”; when I wrote the music and the vocal for that record, I had a vision that came simultaneously with that record itself. I feel cheated when songs leave my heart without the vision intended.
The-Dream has also announced some February tour dates behind the project; find those below as well. He recently shared IAMSAM, a collection of Sam Cooke covers.
The-Dream:
02-13 Washington, DC – Howard Theater
02-14 New York, NY – Bowery Ballroom
02-16 Seattle, WA – Neumo’s
02-19 Los Angeles, CA – The Troubadour
02-20 San Francisco, CA – Social Hall
02-23 Atlanta, GA – Center Stage

Not everyone can be a winner. Detroit native and hip-hop sensation 42 Dugg is back with a fiery new single, Win Wit Us. The track, a precursor to his highly anticipated album 4eva Us, Neva Them, showcases Dugg’s signature style and lyrical prowess. In the brand new single, produced by FLEXONTHEBEAT, TyMaz, and Marshak, Dugg calls out those who try to ride his wave without putting in the work, cementing his stance in the rap game. The release is accompanied by an official music video directed by Counter Point, where Dugg and his crew dominate the streets and clubs of Detroit, visually reinforcing his message of loyalty and resilience. Dugg raps in the hard-hitting track:
All of sudden they wanna win wit us / But ain’t spin with us.
Dugg previously teased this new era of his music with a trailer featuring Hill Harper, further building anticipation among his fans. “Win Wit Us” follows a series of recent hits including Wock N Red, SpinDatBac, and Go Again. Earlier this year, Dugg made a triumphant return to the stage with a sold-out “Welcome Home” show at Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena, featuring appearances by superstars like Meek Mill, Yo Gotti, Lil Baby, and more. Notably, the event saw Dugg unite Detroit’s rival hip-hop factions, Doughboyz Cashout and Team Eastside, in a historic move to end the city’s East-West beef. Fans can expect even more groundbreaking music from Dugg as he gears up for his upcoming album. Don’t miss out on the latest single available for streaming here and watch the music video below. Link up with 42 Dugg on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
