Lontrell Denell Williams Jr. (born November 8, 1999), known professionally as Pooh Shiesty, is an American rapper and songwriter from Memphis, Tennessee.[2] He is signed to Atlantic Records and 1017 Records, the latter of which is led by American rapper Gucci Mane.[3] He rose to fame in 2020 from his collaborations with the rapper and other artists within the label. He is also best known for his 2020 single, "Back in Blood", which features American rapper Lil Durk.[4] Shiesty released his debut commercial mixtape, Shiesty Season, on February 5, 2021. He received a co-sign from American rapper Juicy J.[5]

Early life

Lontrell Denell Williams Jr. was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on November 8, 1999. At age sixteen, he moved out of Memphis together with his mother for two years and relocated to Pflugerville, Texas, learning how to adjust to new circumstances. When he returned back to Memphis, he took summer school to help him graduate high school. He first started making music at age eighteen.[6]

Career

2019–2020: Commercial debut

Pooh Shiesty started off his career with his debut single, "Hell Night", featuring American rapper and good friend Big30, which was released on March 15, 2019, followed by the official music video on February 19, 2020.[7] "Shiesty Summer" was then released five months later, on August 20, 2019, succeeded by the music video the following day.[8] His collaborative single, "Choppa Talk", with Big30, was released only three days later, on August 23, 2019, but the video was released a few months prior, on May 6, 2019.[9] His final release of the year came with the single, "Day One", along with the accompanying visuals, on November 25, 2019.[10]

On March 11, 2020, Shiesty released the single "At It Again", but the visuals were released nine days prior.[11] Four days later, he released the single "Main Slime", on March 15, 2020.[12] On May 29, 2020, the latter song received a remix with an accompanying music video, featuring American rapper Moneybagg Yo and American record producer Tay Keith, the latter of who produced the original song as well.[13] Two days later, Shiesty released the single "ABCGE" alongside the music video on June 3, 2020.[14]

After releasing a few singles of his own, Shiesty received attention from American rapper Gucci Mane, who ended up signing him to his record label, 1017 Records, sometime in April 2020.[15] The two eventually ended up collaborating on Mane's single, "Still Remember", and appeared in the music video, both released on June 19, 2020.[16] The song became Shiesty's initial rise to fame and recognition. Only six days later, he released the single "Monday to Sunday", featuring American rappers Lil Baby and Big30, alongside the visuals on June 25, 2020.[17] All three singles received music videos and also ended up appearing on Mane's fourth compilation album, So Icy Summer, which was released on July 3, 2020.[18] The first half of the album consisted of songs by Mane and the second half consisted of songs from the rest of the label, known as the "New 1017", the latter of which is a collective of new signees to the label, which included Shiesty himself, with other labelmates Foogiano, K Shiday, Enchanting, and Big Scarr.[19] Shiesty and Gucci reunited within the album on the latter's single "Who Is Him", with an accompanying music video the same day.[20]

On September 9, 2020, Shiesty released the single "Twerksum" alongside the music video.[21] The whole 1017 label (himself, Gucci Mane, Foogiano, Big Scarr, Roboy, K Shiday, and Enchanting) teamed up on Roboy's single "1017 Loaded", which was released alongside an accompanying music video exactly one month later, on October 9, 2020.[22] Both singles appeared on Gucci's fifth compilation album, So Icy Gang, Vol. 1, which was released on October 16, 2020.[23] The album is similar to the second half of So Icy Summer, but is instead scattered by different artists of the label on the songs.[24]

2020–present: Shiesty Season

On November 6, 2020, Shiesty released the single "Back in Blood", featuring American rapper Lil Durk. It ended up becoming his most-streamed song, and was soon succeeded by the official music video, which was released on January 2, 2021.[25] It has received around forty million views on YouTube as of February 2021. Later, he was featured on fellow labelmate Foogiano's single "First Day in LA", which was released along with accompanying visuals on November 20, 2020.[26] It appeared on the latter's debut commercial mixtape, Gutta Baby, to which Shiesty makes another appearance on the song "Menace", which was released on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2020.[27]

Shiesty released the single "Guard Up" alongside the official music video on January 15, 2021.[28] It serves as the third single to his debut commercial mixtape and first project, Shiesty Season, which he announced on the same day. On January 29, 2021, he was also featured on Lil Durk's song, "Should've Ducked", from the deluxe edition of the latter's sixth studio album, The Voice, and marks the second time that the two have collaborated, following "Back in Blood".[29] "Neighbors", featuring American rapper Big30 was released as the third single on February 2, 2021.[30] The mixtape was released on February 5, 2021.It features guest appearances from Lil Durk, Gucci Mane, Big30, 21 Savage, Veeze, Foogiano, Lil Hank, Choppa Wop, and Tay Keith. The mixtape also includes the previously-released singles "Twerksum" and "Back in Blood" as the respective first and second singles.[31]

Artistry

Pooh Shiesty is influenced by American rappers Chief Keef, Kodak Black, and Lil Wayne. He listened to the latter for the longest and is influenced the most by him.[3]

On October 13, 2020, Pooh Shiesty was arrested in connection to a shooting in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida, in which he reportedly was involved.[32] He first faced several charges, including armed robbery, aggravated assault and battery, and criminal theft.[33] The altercation was possibly about a drug and sneakers exchange, which might have led to two men to be hospitalized for the fire; the rapper was shortly released on the same day.[34]
