Shy Glizzy Net Worth $200,000
Glizzy grew up in Washington, with his mother and grandmother, as his father was killed before Glizzy was 1 year old. His childhood was marked with the troubles he got into, some minor as for example at the age of 12, he acquired a tattoo under his right eye, and afraid of the punishment he might receive, didn`t go home that night. However, after that his troubles increased somewhat, as he sold drugs, and was eventually jailed for theft, and subsequently spent most of his high school days in juvenile delinquent homes.
Shy never finished high school, but instead he obtained his GED while being imprisoned. He started rapping as soon as he was released from prison, and his first mixtape was released in 2011, entitled “No Brainer”. The mixtape had its success, encouraging Glizzy to continue his career as a rapper. In the following year, Glizzy released his second mixtape, entitled “F*ck Rap” and including collaboration with the rapper Trinidad James,.which also had an impact on the rap scene, earning great comments from the music magazine “The Fader”.
In August 2013, Glizzy released his next mixtape, “Law 2”, which included collaboration with a number of rap artists, of which the most notable were Yo Gotti, Migos and Kevin Gates. Little by little these mixtapes had an influence on Glizzy`s fame and net worth, until in 2014 came his big breakthrough, with the release of the mixtape “Young Jefe”, an 18-track mixtape produced by DJ Bigga Rankin, Zaytoven and others. The mixtape propelled Glizzy into the big world of rap stars with what became the hit single “Awwsome”, which was later covered by rappers ASAP Rocky and 2 Chainz. Glizzy also collaborated on this mixtape with the names such as Young Thug, PeeWee Longway, Zed Zilla and many more. Needless is to say that this mixtape is Glizzy`s best accomplishment so far, and that it had a tremendous influence on his net worth; however his career has only begun, and there is no doubt that his net worth will grow with his future predicted success.
From day to day, his songs are becoming more and more popular and can be heard on various online music services; most popular songs are “3Milli”, “I am DC”, “Free The Gang”, “Disrespect The Tech” and of course “Awwsome”. In addition he has released one mixtape more, “Be Grateful”, in June 2015, with Glizzy Gang, a rap group that consists of rappers Plies, Ant, Snipe, 3, and Quette, all of whom have the last name as Glizzy.
Regarding his personal life and other interests, he has been dedicated to music ever since he was released from prison. In numerous interviews he has stated that music is his getaway from life problems. His lyrics depict the troubles he has been through since childhood until the present day. Other than this and various taunts with other rappers, which include Fat Trel and Chief Keef, little is known about Glizzy`s personal life.
