"Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty enjoyed a breakout 2020, notching a number of streaming hits and landing a deal with Gucci Mane’s New 1017 label. • Pooh Shiesty grew up in South Memphis. His father founded the local label Mob Ties Records and rapped under the alias Mob Boss. • After Gucci Mane saw Pooh's video for 2020’s “Main Slime”, he messaged him on Instagram and eventually signed the newcomer to his New 1017 label. • “Monday to Sunday”, a 2020 collaboration between Pooh, BIG30 and Lil Baby, became a massive streaming hit. So did Pooh’s Lil Durk team-up “Back in Blood”, released later that year. • The rapper’s rise hasn’t been without controversy. He was charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault and theft following a 2020 shootout in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida."
