Biography of Pre$$
Charismatic, Young, and Fresh… just a few things to be said about up and coming rapper Pre$$ AKA Pyrex Press. Born Preston Hill (1985) in Brownsville, Pa, he was easily swept in to the street life at an early age. Hoping for a brighter future, his family moved to Reading, Pa, where Pre$$ first picked up the mic. But coming of age in the streets of Reading was far from the change his family expected. After getting expelled from school and constant trouble in the streets, his mother decided to send him back to stay with family in the south western region of the state in late 2001.
In 2002, he met up with close friend Erving Smith, vice president for Panama Records at the time whom introduced him to President of the Label Deante Drake. Later that year Pre$$ went on to sign his first recording contract with Panama Records quickly moving through the ranks as one the labels top priority artist. Under the wing of infamous Pittsburgh hustler/label CEO Deante Drake, Pre$$ set the streets as well as the booth on fire. Unfortunately the Panama situation was shortly lived due to the incarceration of the label’s CEO.
While signed with Panama Records, Pre$$ released “Panama All-stars”, group mix tape, as well as solo tape, “Full Court Pre$$”. Outside of recording he also went on a southern circuit tour with rapping sensation Lil Wayne in early 2003. Other performances in his early career include opening for Akon, Cassidy, Chingy, Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Fat Joe, Franchize Boyz, Trillville, Freeway, and many others. Proving he can rock any crowd, Pre$$ shut down venues as small as local VFW’s all the way to home town Mecca the Mellon Arena.
With just finishing the video for “She Wanna D Boy” and releasing his “Lunch Money” mixtape, Pre$$ is also busy with his group, Take Money/Moola Gang, who is currently working independently. It may seem this young entrepreneur is pressed for time, but he is just doing what he does best. Many things set this rapper apart from the rest, his crazy beats, hot tracks, and ill collaborations, just to name a few. Don’t let the swagg fool you, when it comes down to bars Pre$$ easily fits in with the top Hip-Hop artists of the game.
