THE STORY
"Baby" wasn't a song Prez forced. It dropped in November 2024 and just grew — no ads, no playlist pitching. Pure word of mouth. By January 2025, it had quietly climbed to 20,000 streams.
"It was just continual slow growth over time. It wasn't a song I really ran any ads on or did any playlists. Even though people always liked the song, I just kinda let that one grow more organically."
But then something shifted. The momentum started building on its own, and Prez could feel it. He started thinking about strategy — should he drop a video? Let it ride? All signs pointed to one thing: this song could go.
Then came the moment that stopped him in his tracks.
He was at 96,500 streams. Just 3,500 away from 100K. And that number hit different.
"It took me back to when I had a song on SoundCloud that hit 3,500 plays and we celebrated. Like, we were just so excited. And to be 3,500 away from 100,000 was really cool."
That full-circle moment — the same number that once felt like everything, now just the final stretch to six figures — is what makes this story so powerful. He didn't just hit a milestone. He remembered every version of himself it took to get there.
"I was just grateful to God. I did the best that I could, but he took it the rest of the way."
In May 2025, "Baby" crossed 100,000 streams.
Prez Harris's first six-figure song.
"Be in love with the journey, in love with the process, and in love with the outcome — because that'll take you further."

"Having a consistent call is certainly helpful for accountability. Every time on the call, I'm learning something — things that you may not necessarily see on the Internet, from people that are in the industry and have had this experience."
