NC Artist Profile - "Lil Drex" of EatCity/SoFresh Ent.


Artist: Lil Drex

Genre: Rap/Hip Hop

Place of Birth: Fort White FL

Cross over artist Courtney Williams  aka  “ Lil Drex “ refers to his movement as “poetry in motion”. Drex possesses both the talent and musical passion to turn heads in the entertainment/music industry with his charisma, astounding studio resume, as well as street credibility all obtained at a very  young age.

Florida native Lil Drex left home at an early age, allowing him to suffer experiences that would cause most young artists to lose focus. Instead, Drex rose above his adversity, using his music as a vehicle of healing and expression, gaining him both momentum and recognition as an ‘urban poet’, and positive role model to those in his community. Drex maintains the facts that though he has suffered through much emotionally, music has become his source of strength, and the tool he uses to speak to, and through others.

Drex cites his lyrical influences to the likes of Tupac, Master P and Trick Daddy. All artists, whom like Drex, have risen from poverty and used life’s struggle to become a muse for authenticity in their music. However, Drex chooses not to focus his lyrics or message on the struggle, but yet the solution that can be resolved through personal and positive choices, the premise behind the ‘Lil Drex’ and SoFresh Entertainment movement.

As a progressive artist Drex has gained experience through numerous performance venues  and tours to include opening up sold out concerts for Juvenile, Mystical, French Montana, Rocco, Yo Gotti, Jeezy, Lil, Webbie and Trick Daddy, to name a few. Currently working on a dual mix tape drop, now preceding two previous underground mix tapes already circulating, “Thug Living Vol. 5” and “The Lil Drex Show”, Drex is confident that his new dual mix tape drop will be his most successful street debut yet, second only to his album drop, set to hit the streets late summer 2013.
