We had the good fortune of connecting with P.R.E.A.C.H. and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi P.R.E.A.C.H., what do you attribute your success to?
I believe that the most important factor behind one’s success is to remain true to themselves. Remain humble and appreciative but let your “hunger growl” roar loud. There is no better combination than “real music” and a real personality to accompany that!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Peacefully Respect Everyone Amongst Continuous Hate is the acronym best used to describe this Romanian Born/American Raised Rap artist. From his humble beginnings to his modern day music career, one thing is certain, P.R.E.A.C.H. continues to captivate the likes of some of the most talented names in the music industry, as well as key players all around the world. Diversity has never been a factor when in terms of P.R.E.A.C.H’s fan base. His easy to love and charismatic persona is truly addictive and contagious. It’s safe to say, his demographic ranges from one end of the spectrum to the other. No matter what a person’s favorite genre of music is, or what their preference is, his style is sure to leave anyone and everyone around him astounded from the very jump!

P.R.E.A.C.H.’s natural talent of songwriting and performing have always been some of his most notable highlights, thus making him a valuable asset in the world of music and landing him on stage along side world renowned artists such as Tech N9ne, MGK, Bone Thugs N Harmony & many more.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
One of the first places that we would visit would be a French influenced area called “Soulard” which is known for it’s blues scene. Buzzing Soulard has raucous bars with live music alongside casual pizzerias, down-to-earth Southern restaurants and seafood spots serving oysters and crawfish. Soulard is one of the oldest parts of the city with original housing stock dating from the mid- to late-1800s, it’s truly a “vibe”.

We would also visit the wonderful and free St. Louis Zoo, which is one of the best zoo’s in the entire country. We would also visit a long-established Italian-American neighborhood with family-owned delis, sandwich shops and bakeries called “The Hill” One of America’s only remaining authentic Italian neighborhoods,

The Lake of the Ozarks would be a fun get away for a few days. Lot’s of drinks, food, live entertainment and a good time on the massive lake bodies.

A nice float trip down the Black river or the current river would be awesome to soak in the rich history and hidden landscape that Missouri has to offer.

A trip to the famous arch that is located in downtown St. Louis is definitely a must!

Food for the week would include, our famous St. Louis style raviolis, Imo’s Pizza, White Castles and last but not least the Chinese cuisine, St. Louis style Fried Rice which is the absolute best! Make sure to throw in a St. Paul sandwich too!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to shout out my “heroes” both of my parents who have sacrificed so much, to give their children the best life possible as 1st generation immigrants to the USA.
