Dre June, a talented Hip-Hop artist from Portland, Oregon, is making waves in the music scene. Coming from the Northeast side of the city at 18th & Killingsworth and spending time on 122nd & Salmon, Dre June has faced challenges that shaped him into the artist he is today. Growing up in a broken home, his great grandmother initially raised him, and after her passing, his grandmother took over. Dre bounced around schools and different living arrangements, eventually running the streets himself.
Dre’s upbringing was rough, and he didn’t graduate high school, but after having children, he saw the need to change his life and create a better future for them. It was only about a year ago that Dre June started taking music seriously, and he hasn’t looked back since. His music is a reflection of his struggles, pain, and passion, giving listeners an inside look at his life.
His musical influences include artists like Philthy Rich, Nipsey Hussle, and Mozzy, and his purpose in music is clear: he wants to be heard. Dre June wants to give his daughters the life he never had and create a lasting legacy. He’s already receiving recognition from the right people in the industry, a sign of great things to come.
Dre June’s process is meticulous—he listens to a beat for hours to ensure his soul connects with it before writing lyrics. His latest project, Fast Lane Trappin’, includes a new video and showcases his undeniable talent. For Dre, each day is about hustling, spending time with his family, and working on his craft. As Dre June said himself, “I’m coming.. be ready and alert.”
