Preme

Raynford Avery Humphrey (born January 8, 1986), better known by his stage name Preme ( ; formerly P Reign), is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. He initially guest appeared on the 2011 singles "Alone Again" by Alyssa Reid and "Invincible" by Hedley. The songs peaked at numbers 11 and nine on the Canadian Hot 100, respectively. He signed with RCA Records to release his debut extended play Dear Summer EP, which contained the singles "DnF" (featuring Drake and Future), "Chickens" (featuring Waka Flocka Flame) and "We Them Niggas" (featuring ASAP Rocky).

In 2018, he rebranded in favor of the stage name Preme, subsequently launching his own label Reps Ups Entertainment in a joint-venture with Columbia Records. That same year, his song "Jackie Chan" (featuring Post Malone) became a minor hit and spawned a remix by Tiësto and Dzeko; this version marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100.

Personal life Preme has a son who was born in 2006.

In 2008, Reign was charged with nine counts of weapons possession charges after Toronto Police found three loaded handguns in the backseat of his leased Cadillac. He was acquitted of all charges on May 30, 2011. Preme referenced this on the unofficial remix to the song "Us" by Lil Reese rapping, "Drizzy dropped a hundred on my lawyer and I beat the case!"

Preme is close friends with fellow Torontonian rapper Drake and both have alluded to this on respective tracks. In the song "Intro" of his second mixtape, Reign raps "Shout out to Drizzy Drake, yeah that's my lil' bro / before the deal, we gettin' change like the corner store." Drake raps in the remake to Big Page's single "I'm Still Fly", "My brother P Reign knows we fuck with the same hoes / Plus he taught me how to spot an officer in plain clothes." Most recently, the two would collaborate (along with Southern rapper Future) on the single "DnF" from Reign's Dear America EP.
