| The Celebratory Dread of Shy Glizzy | December 10, 2014 |
It’s hard not to like Shy Glizzy. Within a minute and a half of the first song on Laws 3, he rhymes Lil Boosie with Karrueche. He rocks the Doc Sportello sideburns with aplomb and he basically sustains a certain menace despite possessing what Naya Rivera would scoff at as: the Big Sean physique. But […]
| Shy Glizzy and 2 Chainz and A$AP Rocky, Awwsome Show | October 22, 2014 |
One of the more preposterous arguments in favor of Kendrick’s “i,” was that the notion of self-love was inherently radical. And by definition of hating it, you were somehow against a positive affirmation of self and not a corny and cynical Grammy and licensing grab to out-Mackle Macklemore.

| Shy Glizzy, Young Jefe | February 18, 2014 |

Earlier this summer, despite a sweltering 97-degree forecast, hundreds of teenagers convened on the 200th block of 37th Street—just two miles east of the Redskins’ old stomping grounds, RFK Stadium—in honor of Shy Glizzy’s 2nd annual Glizzy Day. The term Glizzy is as malleable as a damp pretzel. It […]
| Shy Glizzy: The Next Great Rapper or Poor Man’s Boosie? | April 10, 2013 |
Jimmy Ness is shouting Free Boosie. It’s cool to be weird in 2013. Danny Brown is Yakuza dope boy chic, Future’s an astronaut, Lil Wayne wears leopard print jeggings and Lil B’s cat has recorded more songs than you. Nostalgic fans see the ‘90s as the zenith of rap and I’m not inclined to argue, […]
