Butler has chosen the name "PREACH" as his definative stage moniker.In a hip hop world dominated by over indulgence and the glorification of ’the struggle’ with limited means of escape PREACH is more than a welcome change.

Defying talk that southern rap lacks musicality,with plaiin lyrical skill. It is plain to see that PREACH’s artistic inflences included much more than hip hop, he absorbed assets from across the artistic spectrum- from jazz, classical, blues, gospel and other cross cultural mediums.
