Within the interview The-Dream detailed that he is working with Jay more now than any other time with the label becoming one of the products of their collaborations. 

“Yeah, we’re building Contra Paris, which is an art label. It’s about art overall, period. Anything that’s art, we’re trying to get into,” The-Dream stated. “I have a lot of people hitting me on Instagram, guys and girls, that are trying to fuse music with their culture. Whatever that culture is, as long as it’s art.”
