With unlimited reach in his future, Pooh Shiesty set off his career with his debut mixtape, Shiesty Season. Debuting at number four on the Billboard 200 and number one on top rap albums, the Memphis-born artist is on track for an influential music career.
His unique style of combining gritty, real lyrics alongside pleasant piano tracks and 808s creates a sound that sets him apart from the current rap scene. In 2019, he first incited buzz with his 2019 viral hit, “Shiesty Summer,” reaching nearly 10.3 million views on youtube. Soon after, Grammy-nominated rap icon Gucci Mane signed Pooh to his up-and-coming label, The New 1018. Shiesty Season has features such as Lil Durk, Gucci Mane, 21 Savage, and many others.
