​               Dante “Pre Dolla” Adkins, was born July 22, on the South Side of Chicago. Born in the Princeton Park neighborhood, and later on, raised on 79th street, with a love of art and language, he unknowingly mixed together the pieces for success.  His original stage name was "Pre$ice" (Pre-Dolla' Sign-Ice), which stood for "Before the Money and Ice". He eventually shortened and changed it to PRE DOLLA, to cancel any confusion with any other artists with similar names.              His flow is as boundless as the potential of the man behind the swag. With more than just a charm that drives the ladies wild, his lyrics will have the hardest of hip-hop fans copping mixtape after mixtape. With 5 Official Mixtapes in, ("Flyer Than A Lear", "Flyer Than A lear 2", "L.E.A.R.", "Birthdays & Funerals", and last but not least, "That New Pack", he should definitely be put in the same category as his fellow local artists, such as Bump J, Sly Polaroid, Chance The Rapper, BJ The Chicago Kid, Bo-Deal, YP, Jeremih, Rockie Fresh and so many more.  His current single "On My Own" embodies his classic Chi-Town style with a smooth, laid-back but catchy beat, and primitive verses.
