The-Dream Is Mulling An Acting Career, 'Make Up Bag' Co-Star Says

Singer is working on a yet-untitled film project, Jason Weaver tells MTV News.

[article id="1633561"]The-Dream began hinting at possible retirement[/article] in the weeks leading up to the release on Tuesday (June 29) of Love King, the third project in his trilogy.

But now that the collection is out, what exactly will the songwriter do?

According to his "Make Up Bag" video co-star, Jason Weaver, the Atlanta singer is set to venture into acting.

"The name of the project is tentatively titled 'Road to Beaverton,' " the actor told MTV News. "Pretty much what this video is, 'Make Up Bag,' is the setup for the film."

The yet-unreleased "Make Up Bag" video is set against a 1930s motif and in the clip, The-Dream, Weaver and T.I. all don pinstripe suits. Weaver and The-Dream didn't offer any additional details about the video.

The songwriter has said in the past that the grind of a solo career is too much for him to juggle with his duties as production partner to Christopher "Tricky" Stewart. The pair have an enviable track record, collaborating on hits for Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige and Rihanna, among others. And while The-Dream hasn't formally indicated Love King would be his last word as a solo artist, with a schedule that includes work on T.I.'s upcoming solo project, he'd be as busy tending to the rapper's career as his own. In the past, he hasn't seemed to mind the balancing act, going out of his way to praise his collaborators, including the Grand Hustle boss.

"Tip is in a zone, man," [article id="1635539"]The-Dream told MTV News [/article]earlier this year. "He's in one of those things. But me just being a lyric guy, what makes songs, I think, hits is when it comes from the heart and you really are saying something you mean. And you can feel it through the passion. Every record he played me, I was like, 'Wow.' I could just feel it."
