Supreme Williams, formerly known as Short Dawg, now goes by FRE$H. He was born and raised in Houston, Texas and was encouraged at an early age, by his brother Blumega, to take his craft seriously. As a result, FRE$H picked up the art of freestyling and perfected his skills through various emcee battles.
His sticktoitiveness paid off because FRE$H eventually signed to RSMG, then SoSoDef and Young Money. With credits that include Chris Brown, Ty Dolla $ign, Snoop Dogg, Timbaland, Jermaine Dupri and Bow Wow, as well as collaborations alongside Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Ab-Soul, and more, FRE$H is more than poised to stake his claim as a formidable force within the music industry.
During a recent interview with HipHopDX, Forty talked about his relationship with $hort.
“Too $hort’s the big homie,” he explained. “Just to be on the album with them two tycoons, man. You feel me? We’re tycoons, too, but you know they the young tycoons. You know? So that’s me and him. We’re going to make another album, as well, another classic, but like I say, it was beautiful to have me and $hort because that’s my big bro, man.
“He the Godfather. I’m the ambassador. You feel me? And then … Come on. Chris Brown and Young Thug? Come on, man. I mean, it’s a slap.”
“Long story short man, we made a lot of songs,” Short said. “And it really definite of what it’s gonna be but it’s gonna be something it’s just a lot of songs. There is no [group] name. We just some OGs; everybody got studios, and facilities and rap beats … it’s something like I feel we’re doing this for Hip Hop. And we I said that … you could be doing it for the bag. Nobody don’t need the bag!”
