Vevo, the leading global music video network, announces Pooh Shiesty as the next artist in their Ctrl series with performances of “Back In Blood” and “Guard Up” premiering today. Vevo’s Ctrl series highlights the work of hard-hitting, cutting-edge musicians making an impact in today’s music scene – both emerging and established. These artists demand attention, and Vevo’s Ctrl shines a deserving spotlight. Pooh Shiesty’s performances follow sessions from Rick Ross, Common, Rapsody, Fat Joe, Jeezy, Jadakiss, Fabolous, A$AP Ferg and more.
Emerging from Memphis, TN, Pooh Shiesty pops off with an intense and inimitable presence. The Memphis rapper snakes through airy beats with a venomous bite and slick melodies. Long before this moment, hip-hop called to him. His father founded the Memphis-based Mob Ties Records and rapped under the name Mob Boss, welcoming Pooh into the studio at a very young age. Launching the Choppa Gang crew, he perfected his wordplay by taking any opportunity to freestyle either in the lunchroom, on the block, or online.
