Linkcon “Prezzy” Demetrius is living proof that setbacks can fuel the greatest comebacks. After being sidelined from the music industry in 2017, many thought his career had come to an end. But in September 2022, Prezzy made a powerful return, rebranded and more determined than ever to make a lasting impact—not just in music, but in a range of industries.
As CEO of Driven Paper Next Level (DPNL), Prezzy isn’t just focused on traditional record label services. His company has expanded into event curation, producing high-profile events like Miami Swim Week and celebrity basketball games. But that’s only the beginning. Prezzy’s vision stretches beyond entertainment—he’s making moves in luxury merchandise with custom Italian shoes, men’s beard oil, and even a signature women’s fragrance called “Toxic Rush.”
By 2024, Prezzy’s relentless drive had taken DPNL to new heights. Partnering with Sony Orchard for music distribution and building relationships with powerhouse labels like Def Jam, he’s proving that his influence is here to stay. But his real passion lies in giving back to the next generation of artists. With the creation of the Network Music Team, Prezzy is sharing his industry knowledge and helping independent musicians navigate their way to success. He also launched Madvibez Radio, a platform dedicated to showcasing independent talent and giving them the exposure they deserve.
Prezzy’s return to the industry isn’t just about reclaiming his spot—it’s about shaping a new future for both himself and the artists he supports. His story is a testament to resilience, and his journey is far from over.
