Rapper Pooh Shiesty, one of Memphis’s fastest-rising stars before his incarceration, was released from federal prison in early October after serving roughly three years of a five-year sentence tied to a 2022 gun charge.
His return sparked immediate excitement among fans who had been anticipating new music ever since legal troubles put his career on pause.
Despite touching down months ago, Shiesty chose not to rush into releasing new material. Instead, he took his time reconnecting with his team, adjusting to life on the outside, and preparing something that would truly mark a new chapter in his career. After weeks of speculation across social media and hip-hop circles, he finally broke his silence today with the release of his official “First Day Out” (FDO) track and its accompanying video.
The song serves as both a statement and a reintroduction—addressing his time away, reaffirming his presence in the rap game, and giving fans the raw energy they’ve been waiting for. The video adds another layer, capturing the moment with visuals that reflect his journey, his growth, and the atmosphere surrounding his long-awaited comeback.
