Biography

Washington D.C. rapper Gleesh established himself as an influencer within the funk subculture of go-go music, and the independent hip-hop circuit before penning his record deal with Asylum Records. As a pioneer in mumble rap the emcee broke through as a viral sensation with gritty audiovisuals to tracks "SKRONG," and "Its Sad Boy." Gleesh's animated persona and delivery of hard-knocked truths were swiftly solidified as "next to blow," by XXL, and an array of publications to follow. His drawled freestyles further resonated through massive streaming numbers on Cleansides Finest 3 trap earworms, "Wasabi," "Water," and more. "Recording is a means of expression, but I love performing. It is the best thing for me to do," affirmed Gleesh. And, in the name of showmanship, Gleesh finessed his signature footwork (the Gleesh Walk) for upward of 48 million in A$AP Rocky's "Multiply," music video. The popular dance would go on to earn an HYPEBEAST-acclaimed verse for the collab, "Telephone Call" alongside the A$AP Mob. Gleesh forges his unique legacy with his latest mixtape, GLEESH, released July 13, 2018, via Asylum Records. The hard-nosed body of work jolts the street anthems he's celebrated for on, "Get Out," and "My Fault." With an improved mindset, the artist considers GLEESH his "stepping stone," to elevate musicality. Beyond one-of-one rap soundscapes, the subjective inventiveness on GLEESH is to be respected.
