SHY GLIZZY RELEASES LAW 3 MIXTAPE HOSTED BY DJ DRAMA
[NEW YORK, NY – December 2nd, 2014] After, building a substantial buzz with his chart topping hit single, “Awwsome“, D.C. rapper SHY GLIZZY released his newest project, LAW 3 to streaming partners and digital retailers under his own label, Glizzy Gang and 300 Entertainment, today, December 2nd, 2014. “I don’t really like maintaining the expected, so on every project I’m going to show you my growth,” said SHY GLIZZY. “After listening to LAW 3, people will know who’s the king of D.C..”
Outlets like Complex have already notified SHY GLIZZY fans and D.C. music lovers alike that LAW 3 is definitely a project to “look out for” from the Glizzy Gang CEO. After attending, an exclusive listening event in NYC, XXL Magazine stated that much of the music “show[s] off Shy’s distinct style that blends singing and rapping with his unique voice.” With stand out singles like “Celebration,” “Awwsome Remix,” and “What U Talkin Bout,” the 15 track mixtape features appearances from rappers: Bobby Shmurda, A$AP Rocky, 2 Chainz, Migos, Young Dolph, and numerous Glizzy Gang affiliates. The star studded rap line-up is accompanied with an even equally impressive set of established producers such as ZayToven [Usher, Future, Nicki Minaj], Young Chop [Big Sean, Pusha T, Meek Mill, Diddy], Doughboy Beatz [Jeezy, Gucci Mane, Lil Boosie], K.E. on the Track [Jay Z, Rick Ross, Chris Brown], and many more.
LAW 3‘s first official single, “Awwsome Remix” featuring A$AP Rocky and 2 Chainz had to be SHY GLIZZY‘s most anticipated track off the LAW 3 mixtape. After debuting on The Fader, Billboard called the remastered song produced by E.A. Glizzy “giddily unhinged.” Stereogum described A$AP Rocky and 2 Chainz’s appearances as “blending in beautifully with the sinister glint of the beat.”
Over the Thanksgiving weekend, SHY GLIZZY treated his loyal fans to a new release, “What U Talkin Bout,” which The Fader called, “hard hitting” and StupidDope.com referred to as “another intense, menacing, and street shaking offering from the wordsmith.” On November 13th, SHY delivered his signature party sound with his anticipated collaboration with “Hot N***a’s” Bobby Shmurda on “Celebration,” which debuted on RapRadar.com. “Celebration” featuring Bobby Shmurda seamlessly highlights Shmurda and GLIZZY‘s energetic rap chemistry as SHY dominates the chorus with his trademark sound and Shmurda delivers a gritty verse reflective of his Brooklyn roots. Barrelhouse Brooklyn called this collaboration “[SHY’s] best so far.”
While introducing the masses to the new music from his new mixtape, LAW 3, SHY GLIZZY also reminded his fans of his critically acclaimed February release, Young Jefe with the remix to his popular track “White Girl” featuring 2014 XXL Freshman, Lil Durk and his new music video, “John Wall” featuring Lil Mouse just for his fans’ enjoyment.
“Shy GLizzy and Drama-it’s a no-brainer,” says DJ Drama about the first Gangsta Grillz collaboration between the pair. “If Drama hosts your tape everybody knows you’re official,” says GLIZZY.
SHY GLIZZY‘s mixtape LAW 3 hosted by DJ Drama is available now for download on DatPiff and iTunes. Make sure to follow SHY GLIZZY on all his socials to learn more about the DJ Drama hosted project and other exciting news regarding Glizzy Gang.
LOGIC BUILDS ON MOMENTUM OF UNDER PRESSURE WITH 47-CITY U.S./EUROPEAN TOUR !
LOGIC BUILDS ON MOMENTUM OF UNDER PRESSURE’s TOP 5 SOUNDSCAN DEBUT WITH NEWS OF 47-CITY U.S./EUROPE TOUR !
TOUR OPENS JAN. 27th IN INDIANAPOLIS, INCLUDES PRESTIGE DATES AT WILTERN IN L.A., WEBSTER HALL IN NYC, REGENCY IN SF, AND MORE !
UNDER PRESSURE HAILED AS ONE OF 2014’s BEST RAP ALBUMS, NOMINATED BY MTV NEWS AS “RAP ALBUM OF THE YEAR CONTENDER”!

(Dec. 2, 2014 – New York, NY) Maryland-based rapper Logic keeps the momentum surging after the colossal Top 5 Soundscan debut of UNDER PRESSURE (released October 21st on Def Jam Recordings), hailed as one the best hip-hop debut albums of the year. Logic will kick off 2015 with a major 47-city tour of the U.S. and Europe, his fourth national headlining tour of the U.S. and his second run in Europe. The tour opens January 27th in Indianapolis, and will include such notable venues as the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, Webster Hall in New York City, the Fillmore in Silver Spring, Maryland, the Riviera Theatre in Chicago, and the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco.
Prior to the release of UNDER PRESSURE, Logic had sold over 50,000 tickets to his performances. He played three national headlining tours off of mixtapes alone – selling out venues including the Wiltern in L.A. and Irving Plaza in New York City. He had also toured internationally, sharing the stage with Kid Cudi, Big Sean, and others.
Raves for UNDER PRESSURE exploded across the media, with Huffington Post crowning it “2014’s Best Hip-Hop Album So Far,” Starpulse concurring with “Rap’s Biggest Triumph Of 2014,” Artist Direct calling it “The Best Debut of 2014,” and MTV News nominating it as “Rap Album Of The Year Contender.” The buzz around Logic landed him a performance in November on NBC’s The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, Logic’s national television debut.
The week before Jimmy Fallon, Logic opened up to USA Today’s “On The Verge” with an in-depth interview that “confirmed his rise from hot underground prospect to national hip-hop star.” Said Logic, “I wanted to keep [the album] musical but still very hip-hop. It’s very humbling to know that because of this album I’m reaching people that I didn’t have an opportunity to reach before.” For Logic’s work ethic, sense of competition, his affection for Frank Sinatra, and more, go to http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2014/11/09/on-the-verge-logic-hip-hop-under-pressure/18557047/
24-year old Logic was signed to Def Jam in 2013 by Executive Vice President of A&R, No I.D. (who went on to serve as executive producer of UNDER PRESSURE). The 2013 signing coincided with XXL magazine naming Logic to its ‘Freshman 10’ list, a highly competitive annual survey that showcases the brightest young up-and-coming personalities in hip-hop. Logic joined a notable lineup that included Ab-Soul, Action Bronson, Angel Haze, Dizzy Wright, Joey Bada$$, Kirko Bangz, Schoolboy Q, Travi$ Scott, Trinidad James, and (named as the “11th Freshman”), Chief Keef.
A broken home, a dysfunctional family, skirmishes with drugs, and life on the streets conspired to shape Logic’s graphic, hardcore flow. His influences run from Wu-Tang Clan, the Roots, A Tribe Called Quest, and Nas, to Red Hot Chili Peppers and Miles Davis. At the same time, he was profoundly influenced by the life and times of Frank Sinatra, whose histories and movies were a part of Logic’s youth as his mother exposed him to the original Rat Pack leader. In turn, Logic named his own crew of close associates the RATTPack (as in “Real All The Time”), including his producers, his manager, and close fellow rappers..
Logic’s clips have collected more than 30 million views since 2010. His Young Sinatra mixtape trilogy began in 2011, with the release of Young Sinatra, featuring the single and viral video “All I Do.” Young Sinatra: Undeniable arrived in 2012, featuring “The Spotlight.” Young Sinatra: Welcome to Forever was released in 2013, containing tracks produced by No I.D., Don Cannon, Arthur McArthur, Swiff D, C-Sick, Kevin Randolph, and 6ix.
“So many people think they can rap,” Logic said on the VMG website, “and they just want a deal and the glitz and the glamour and the women but they don’t understand that all I do and want to do is rhyme. I engineer, mix, master, record, produce all of my own music and I think I’ve sacrificed so much from my relationships to my friendships to my family; I’ve literally sacrificed my entire life and I’m honest.”
