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.
