“EST Gee is one of the exciting new rap stars out right now. He is a street rapper but still unique in his own way. His flow and lyrics are unapologetically truthful and his stories of grit and struggle pull it all together, which is why we're happy to have him as one of our Artists to Watch 2022.” - Mika Sunga Manager, Music Programming

EST GEE:

Focusing on the realist side of Southern rap, EST Gee authentically documents day-to-day life in Louisville, Kentucky, incorporating trap and other contemporary variants of the genre. Originally planning to attend Indiana State University - the first in his family to attend college - on a full football scholarship, Gee’s studies were cut short when he was sent to prison. After his release, he began making music, crafting a moniker by joining the acronym EST -- Everybody Shine Together -- with Gee, a reference to his first name, George. His relaxed but relentless lyrical style drew attention from major labels and hard-hitting contemporaries. Since his introduction to the scene in 2017, EST Gee has collaborated with the likes of Future, Jack Harlow, Lil Baby, Young Thug and more.
