When the City Sleeps #NocturnalInk Presents: Preech the Profit

On this Episode of When the City Sleeps #NocturnalInk I will have the pleasure of sharing the mic with a most talented brutha, Preech the Profit!! Born in Pensacola, Florida, now residing in Atlanta, GA, Preech The Profit or Preech for short, first introduced himself as a Spoken Word Artist in his hometown of Pensacola in the year 2011. The Preech part of “Preech The Profit” came after he had taken the time to analyze his performance methods & noticed that he almost sounded like a preacher reciting a speech. “The Profit” came from his desire to give back to communities & be a “profit to society” in addition to a pun with the word “Prophet” as a result of his tendencies to philosophize his own perspectives & idealistic nature. Spoken Word artist, Hip-Hop Artist, & entrepreneur, Preech The Profit, first gained an interest in words in elementary school when he would read the dictionary as if it were a book. As his knowledge for the meanings and sounds of words grew, he later reached a stage in middle school where he found the creativity in word play to be very interesting. This new found interest led him to the exploration of his abilities to arrange words in ways that fit together as if they were a finished puzzle. During this time, he continued to write lyrics without a purpose other than to explore his imagination. Preech began to take on poetry as a way of life after working on the verses for a song & feeling as if the lyrics needed no instrumental to be appealing, because the lyrics alone carried the fluent tune of a professional song. It was at this time that he really began to notice just how talented of a writer he was. This realization brought him to an interest of exploring his talents in spoken word. He began to make YouTube videos & advertise them on social networking sites. This led to him being offered the opportunity to perform at a fashion show. Ever since then, Preech has performed & featured at over 50 different venues and locations.
