Preme &#8211; formerly known as P. Reign &#8211; may be recognized as the man who runs in <a href="/profile/Drake" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Drake</a>&#8217;s crew, but he doesn&#8217;t want to be that guy anymore. In a recent interview with <a href="http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2018/05/preme-drake-interview/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">XXL</a>, Preme admits that he hasn&#8217;t released a single with Drake because he wants to hold his own weight and not &#8221; be remembered for being that guy&#8217;s friend.&#8221;
Preme isn&#8217;t even signed to OVO, he recently dropped his latest album <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/ovo-affiliate-preme-releases-his-debut-album-light-of-day-new-mixtape.118025.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Light of Day</a> with Reps Up that was simply named due to the fact that it&#8217;s finally seeing the light. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been wanting to drop this project for years now. Light of Day is something that&#8217;s fuckin&#8217; evolved 20 times,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t really even have a name for it back then, but the project&#8217;s been done. We changed records, moved things around. Times change and the wave changes.&#8221;
The &#8220;DnF&#8221; artist calls <a href="/profile/PartyNextDoor" class="text-word" target="_blank" >PartyNextDoor</a> a genius and someone who inspires him the most. &#8220;He pushes you. Doesn&#8217;t matter who he&#8217;s in the room with. I&#8217;ve seen the guy in the room with the biggest and tell them do it again. &#8220;Do it again, do it again, not like that.&#8221; And not give two fucks, because he really just thinking about the best quality of music.&#8221;
Finally, Preme touches on what&#8217;s most important to him: having fans see him in his own right. &#8221; I don&#8217;t work this hard, night in and night out, to not be able to be respected and hold my own weight,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;That&#8217;s why I purposely haven&#8217;t put out another record with Drake. OVO is family, Drake&#8217;s my brother for life, that&#8217;s way deeper than music. But I&#8217;m not signed to OVO. RepsUp is my own thing, that&#8217;s my clique in my city.&#8221;
