Heavily influenced by major Rap artists Bone Thugz & TechN9ne. Andree' Butler began delving and concentrating on writing his street floetry in 1998. Improving upon his rap writing skills and flow for 3 years straight and without a resource and clue as to how he would enter the local DC Rap scene. Upon improving his rhyme skills and flow, Andree' dubbed himself Relentlezz Dre and set out on his personal journey to attend local shows and events. And by chance, one day, he meets De'Aticus of Flip The Script Entertainment, where they networked and cliqued up together. Sometime later Andree' would record his first professional track with De'Aticus in 2001 at Horizon Studios in Maryland.
From there Andree' Butler would set out on his own and decided he would work his day job and pay for his own beats and record his own songs at City Vibe Recordings in Maryland from late 2001 to late 2002. To promote himself; Andree' would burn and give out more than 260 CDs [2 songs] in MD & DC for promotional reasons to little or no avail. But in the summer of 2002, he returned to his beginnings for another collaborative recording session with De'Aticus on a track called "Every Uprise, There's A Downfall" (unreleased). He has also done collaborative work with his closest Rap affiliatez and friends: Flaw & Poppi aka Da Slimmz and ELO from IronBeatz Productions.
