From South St. Pete, FL, independent rapper Tre Butler is discovering a way to change the perspective and narrative of artists from this generation. This rising emcee is making a name for himself across the industry with zero intention of slowing down.
Introduced to the culture and essence of true lyricism at an early age by his father, and influenced by timeless artists such as Jay-Z and Nas; he best describes his unique sound as “Aggressive soul – the best of both worlds”. Encapsulating his lived experiences with raw grit and emotion, he makes music from the heart; hoping to impact the lives of his listeners in his community and around the globe.
“Of course I want to be the best at what I do, but most importantly, to me, it’s about the music and how many people it can touch. Knowing that I can have someone relate to the same things that I’ve went through, and the music can provide them a sense of hope, that’s enough to keep me going.”
His debut album titled: What About Before?, released December of 2019. Butler self reflects and reminisces on the past while using the recent passing of his father as inspiration. 11 tracks manifesting itself into the true life story of a son living out his father’s dying wish; keeping his story alive.
Moving forward Tre Butler is looking to create more music; collaborating with more artists, producers and creatives alike, with hopes to continue his momentum in the music scene and expanding his horizons on every front.
