At the ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Awards last Friday, The Dream and Tricky Stewart received the top award for their great work on five songs including “I Luv Your Girl” by The-Dream, “Just Fine” by Mary J. Blige, and “Touch My Body” by Mariah Carey.
Both also shared the award for songwriter of the year with fellow songwriters/producers Tor Hermansen and Mikkel Eriksen, who were honored for their production work on Ne-Yo’s “Miss Independent,” Jennifer Hudson’s “Spotlight,” and Rihanna’s “Take a Bow.”
Tricky and The-Dream have earned critical and commercial success first with Rihanna’s “Umbrella,” and other hit songs such as Beyonce’s recent “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).”
Lil Wayne and Alicia Keys were also awarded at the ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music.
