Pooh Shiesty is preparing to release his next album despite his legal issues.
On Wednesday, August 5, the Memphis native announced the plans for his forthcoming project, All Eyes On Shiest. In his social media posts, Pooh includes a pre-save link that reveals his album's title and cover art, which depicts him sitting on a couch next to a snake and a pile of cash while a riot pops off behind him. The album title appears to be written in blood, and a person is wearing a hoodie that says "Free Shiesty." Pooh also shared a snippet of his new single, "Last Man Breathin."
"I feel the walls getting closer, my release date slowly coming/They gave the homie 75 he’ll get out when we turn a 100," he raps on the new track. "I beat so many n***as up, I clutch every time I feel funny/Only one step away from freedom, but I still can't go for nothin."
Pooh Shiesty's upcoming album will be released via 1017 Global and Atlantic Records. It's set to feature hit songs like "FDO" as well as collaborations with GloRilla, K Carbon, BIG30, Sexyy Red, and the late Tay Keith. It would've been Pooh's first album since being released from prison last year, but unfortunately, he's been incarcerated for a separate offense.
The "Back In Blood" rapper, born Lontrell Williams, Jr., is being held without bond after he was charged with kidnapping and conspiracy to commit kidnapping. He and his co-defendants, including his father and fellow rapper BIG30, are accused of holding Gucci Mane and his two associates at gunpoint at a Dallas recording studio earlier this year. The Department of Justice alleges Williams and his eight other co-defendants "executed an armed takeover" to "force one of the victims to sign a release from the recording contract" while holding an AK-style pistol. Williams pleaded not guilty to the charges. His trial is scheduled for February 2027.
Despite all the legal challenges, Gucci Mane's label is still committed to dropping their signee's music. All Eyes On Shiest arrives this Friday, August 7. Stream "Last Man Breathin" below.
