Pooh Shiesty Announces ‘Shiesty Season: Certified’ & NFT Collection

Multi-platinum Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty is celebrating the RIAA platinum certified success of his blockbuster debut mixtape, SHIESTY SEASON, with a newly expanded deluxe edition SHIESTY SEASON: CERTIFIED that will be available in spatial audio on April 29th. Shiesty is also teaming up with the prominent digital artist behind the Shiesty Season art – Smilesss co-founder Waheed Zai – for an exclusive NFT collection which dropped on Wednesday, April 27th.

SHIESTY SEASON: CERTIFIED arrives via Gucci Mane’s The New 1017 and Atlantic Records on Friday, April 29; pre-orders are available now. This release will include 8 new tracks from Shiesty with appearances from Gucci ManeBIG30Big ScarrLil Uzi VertEST Gee42Dugg and more (full track listing below). SHIESTY SEASON: CERTIFIED arrives after the recently released SHIESTY SEASON – SPRING DELUXE which introduced 4 new tracks with appearances from Lil Baby and G Herbo.

For the Smilesss x Shiesty Season  NFT collection, 250/each of the four Shiesty Season alternate covers (winter, summer, spring, and fall) will be available to mint (1,000 pieces in total) along with a 24-hour 1-of-1 auction of the official SHIESTY SEASON mixtape cover exclusively on OpenSea, all designed by Waheed Zai, the co-creator of the web 3 streetwear brand Smilesss, and artist behind the original SHIESTY SEASON cover art . In partnership with Infinite Objects , the first 20 collectors of all 4 Seasons will receive a video print displaying their newly minted NFTs.

As I look back, what at the time felt like a good commission opportunity, now is a significant moment in my artistic career. I took a leap of faith to build something I hadn’t built before, and Pooh Shiesty and his team took a gamble on having me deliver on that promise,” says Waheed. “Months later, that risk allowed me to create my own world through Smilesssvrs. With Pooh’s album going Platinum and me building my own name and world via my NFT project, it felt inevitable to come together to help highlight and celebrate our growth as artists over the past year, which birthed Smilesss x Shiesty Season.”

Buyers of the NFT will receive an exclusive t-shirt and ski mask designed by Waheed, a holder-only metaverse wearable, plus an exclusive first listen to SHIESTY SEASON: CERTIFIED, exclusively in Smilesss discord. In addition, the winner of the OpenSea 1-of-1 auction will also receive a personalized SHIESTY SEASON platinum plaque. The Smilesss x Shiesty Season NFT collection dropped Wednesday, April 27 at 1:20 pm (PST)/4:20 pm (EST) at www.shiesty.smilesss.com, with the 1-of-1 auction following at 4:20 pm (PST)/ 7:20 pm (EST), exclusively on OpenSea.
