This is dope: during her headlining performance at this year’s Global Citizen Festival in NYC, Beyoncé decided to break into a quick performance of Shy Glizzy’s ‘Awwsome’. Sick.
D.C.’s Shy Glizzy is back with a new visual for ‘The First 48’, which will appear on his upcoming mixtape For Trappers Only (out September 30th).
Goo and Shy shot the “Actors” video out in California recently…
UPDATE: Stream Kidd Kidd’s latest tape below.
Two XXL freshman link of a FireBeats production…
Two local up-and-coming rappers, YG Freak and Swipey have been making waves on their own for a while (See Swipey’s “RICO” Freestyle or YG’s mixtape.) Its only right that they get the stamp from Shy Glizzy on a new song. Check out “Len Bias.”
Glizzy & Tracy T link up the day before the release of Tracy’s Shades of Green.
Glizzy spits from the heart in a new single…Hip Hop shit with no drums.

We know literally nothing, but social media is spreading the above video that appears to show Shy Glizzy getting arrested in Montgomery Country. No idea on when the clip was even filmed (hell, he could have already been freed at this point).
UPDATE: New clip below. Newer reports state that 1. the charges may have been related to disorderly conduct (ie. when a celebrity causes a crowd for being famous), and 2. the incident actually happened yesterday, and Shy has since posted bail.
Two of this year’s XXL Freshmen — Fetty Wap and Shy Glizzy — come together for the Zaytoven-produced ‘Why U Mad’.

Part 3 of the XXL 2015 Freshman cypher.
DC’s Shy Glizzy is the next artist to spit bars for his solo XXL Freshman freestyle. Profile below.
Yung Simmie is usually boring (no pun intended.) Shy Glizzy isn’t though.
If you recall, NE DC’s finest, Da Big Fella released this record last year on his Fatz Sinatra tape. Nearly a year later, “Miami Vice” with Shy Glizzy and Tone P is getting the single treatment. Enjoy.
Shy Glizzy and his producer EA recruit ATL veteran YFN Lucci for the official version of “Them Dudes” sans Ant Glizzy. Also check out a bonus cut from Zed Zilla and Shy below.
The Nasa Boyz Suavey Nino create a hell of a song with “Big Money,” featuring Shy Glizzy. Glizzy and Suavey go back and forth for the harmonious hook and reminisce about their struggles over a triumphant Bigg Moon beat. I definitely liked the track’s change-up at the 3:30 mark.
Check out the latest release from Shy Glizzy and 30 Glizzy titled ‘Going Down’ (produced by Nito Beats), which is taken from their newly released mixtape Be Careful.
UPDATE: Thanks to Spinrilla, you can now enjoy the mixtape in full below.
Much like Lil Wayne did today with his new single (via TIDAL), Shy Glizzy’s Glizzy Gang collective have released their new mixtape Be Careful — the only way you can hear it (right now) it exclusively through MyMixtapez…you can download the app and check out the new music here.
Again, congrats to Shy on making it on this year’s XXL Freshman list…big things for D.C.
Congrats to this years XXL Freshman class (above), but an extra shoutout to DMV artists Shy Glizzy and Goldlink, two of this year’s inductees. Obviously, we’ll also be seeing the interviews, freestyles and cyphers soon.
Check out behind the scenes below, and more over at XXL.
This song has been sitting in the drafts folder here because we aren’t sure what to say about it. Lil Tay and UPT Killa of CBE have had a meteoric rise locally and it’s only a matter of time before they get some national focus. “Servin” has them fitting Shy Glizzy perfectly in to their new single produced by the always-present Rick Flare. Support and buy the track on iTunes now.
