Key Takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty walked out<\/a> of federal prison in October 2025 after serving three years of a five-year sentence for a 2022 firearm conviction. Ever since, he\u2019s been working to get his rap career back on track, which includes pushing new music and linking up in the studio with GloRilla.<\/p>\n Back in December, the Memphis rapper assured his fans by telling Ebro Darden on Apple Music that a new album was \u201con the way, on the way<\/a>.\u201d However, he refused to provide a specific timeline.<\/p>\n Pooh\u2019s last album was 2021\u2019s Shiesty Season<\/em>, a commercial mixtape that has since been certified double platinum. Recently, he dropped a new single, \u201cFDO\u201d (an acronym for \u201cFirst Day Out\u201d), and the song hit No. 12 on Billboard\u2019s Hot 100 chart in early January.<\/p>\n The artist born Lontrell Denell Williams, Jr. spoke to Billboard in a recent interview and explained his hit single is only the start considering his career is still in its infancy. \u201cYou gotta think about it, I was in jail more time than I was rapping,\u201d said Pooh, who had only been rapping seriously a couple of years before he got locked up. \u201cThe times I was rapping versus the time I got out is way different. I talk way different. I got more lingo and got way more experience. I\u2019m five years older. Faster, smarter, sober [and] wiser.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
