Raynford Avery Humphrey (born January 8, 1986), better known by his stage name Preme (/priːm/ PREEM;[2] formerly P Reign), is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. He is of Guyanese descent. He first gained recognition for his guest appearances on the 2011 singles "Alone Again" by Alyssa Reid and "Invincible" by Hedley. The songs peaked at numbers 11 and nine respectively on the Canadian Hot 100.[3] He signed with RCA Records to release his debut extended play Dear Summer EP (2014), 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 guest Post Malone was remixed by Tiësto and Dzeko's, which allowed it to enter the Billboard Hot 100.[3]
