Yung Gleesh continues his Cleansides Finest mixtape series with the release of Cleansides Finest 3, slated to drop on Sept. 16.
After co-founding legendary D.C. gogo
band TOB, Gleesh rose to local rap prominence through the release of
several street mixtapes that showcase his sometimes dark, sometimes
comedic, but always original style of street rap, aptly titled Shitbag
Music. Since he began, Gleesh frequently collaborated with MMG-signee
Fat Trel, Chicago Based music group GBE’s Fredo Santana, Ballout &
Capo. In early 2013 he fielded an offer to join Gucci Mane’s 1017
Bricksquad outfit and featured on tracks with 1017 members such as
PeeWee Longway.

With sold-out headlining shows in DC and NY along with packing out LA warehouses with over 500 eager fans, Gleesh has proven to be one of the more exciting acts to hit the current-day rap scene with energetic performances.

"Gucci Mane is definitely the closest
epicenter to Yung Gleesh’s style, but he’s so extraterrestrial that he
really doesn’t have any human counterparts" - VIBE
