In a crowded Florida hip-hop scene, Loe Shimmy has been putting on for his city while actively setting himself apart from his contemporaries through his strained delivery, charismatic raps, and expressive incorporation of melodies into his otherwise gritty sound. Coming off his breakthrough year in 2024—which included a tour alongside Sexyy Red and Hunxho, as well as the release of his sixth album Nardy World and first Billboard-charting single, “For Me” featuring Brent Faiyaz—Shimmy continued his ascent with 2025’s Rockstar Junkie. The project was fueled by the breakout success of “3AM” featuring Don Toliver, which gained significant traction online and introduced him to an even wider audience.
So far, 2026 has marked Shimmy’s biggest year yet. He was featured on Drake’s “I’m Spent,” which spent 10 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the R&B charts, further cementing his status on a global stage. He also released his highly anticipated album Pretty Girlz Run The World, continuing to showcase his evolution as one of rap’s most compelling young artists.
With critical acclaim from publications including The FADER, Pitchfork, and Passion of the Weiss, Loe Shimmy has established himself as one of the most exciting new voices in hip-hop. As he continues to expand his audience and build on his momentum, Shimmy is solidifying his place as one of Florida’s defining artists of his generation.
