Pooh Shiesty, whose real name is Lontrell Dennell Williams, Jr., is a rising star in the American hip-hop scene and is widely recognized for his gritty lyrics and Memphis trap influences. Born on November 8, 1999, in Memphis, Tennessee, Pooh Shiesty gained significant attention in the rap community after signing with Gucci Mane's 1017 Records and Atlantic Records. His rise to fame was bolstered by his breakout single "Back In Blood," which features fellow rapper Lil Durk.
