Edreys aka Billy Drease Williams (born Edreys Wajed) is an American hip hop artist, as well as an accomplished visual artist. Edreys (pronounced E-Dreece) translates from Arabic into the "One who masters the pen". Unlike his peers, Edreys's talents and reputation aren’t paraded or distorted by grossly exaggerated street credibility, drug tales or prison time. Edreys is the antithesis regarding the manner in which he has climbed the ranks and secured himself a place in the industry.

- Edreys aka Billy Drease Williams (born Edreys Wajed) is an American hip hop artist, as well as an accomplished visual artist. Edreys (pronounced E-Dreece) translates from Arabic into the "One who masters the pen". Unlike his peers, Edreys's talents and reputation aren’t paraded or distorted by grossly exaggerated street credibility, drug tales or prison time. Edreys is the antithesis regarding the manner in which he has climbed the ranks and secured himself a place in the industry. Raised on the dilapidated East Side of Buffalo, NY, he faced the same challenges as other children from single-parent homes living amidst drugs, pregnancy, drop-outs, murder and crime. Edreys made the tough decision of staying the straight course. Accepted into the "gifted and talented" program at City Honors School in 5th grade, Edreys’ abilities were recognized and awarded very early on. After keeping his promise to his mother that he would first graduate from college before seriously pursuing his music career, the legacy known as Billy Drease Williams began to take form. From his achievements with former group Raw Intel, Best Buffalo Hip Hop Group and Best Hip Hop Producer awards in 1999 and 2001, 4 featured tracks on ESPN NFL 2K5 Football, to Myspace artist of the week spotlight, Yahoo Launch Music features and Billboard magazine artist highlight in March 2008. Edreys has proven his market viability all without a major record deal or extended marketing dollars.
