P-Dub aka Pretty Willie

I love music but I am also a fan of independent artists and skills and this guy is no different. Pretty Willie hit the scene back in 2001 with the song "Roll With Me" very reminiscent of his fellow St. Louis rapper native Nelly. In fact he has been compared to Nelly both of them are from St. Louis, very good looking, former stellar athletes, they sing just as well as they rap. One my favorite songs by Pretty Willie is "Lay Your Body Down" it was heard in the film Johnson Family Vacation.




What you didn't know about him:
Born Willie Monroe Jr. he realized that music was his passion early in life so he performed at many talent shows and local juke joints with his father. By the age of 12 he and formed his own rap group  Baby Gangstaz. They landed a deal with French Jamz and released an album called "E-Z Goin Gangsta". This also brought him local success.




By 1997 he became a Missouri State Champion in the 100 meter dash that accomplishment landed a full track scholarship at  the University of Mississippi he earned a degree in psychology while he was there he also became a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. which also helped him become a very prominent college athlete.

Willie has a wonderful voice and he is easy on the eyes here a song hear it for yourself through You Tube or his music pages.
