In 2011, Shy Glizzy released his debut project, titled No Brainer, in January. He was initially "trying to write a book, but it ended up being a song." Shy has stated he did not listen to rap music growing up but rather go-go music, which he credits for helping to create his own unique sound. As a teenager, he began reading the Quran, then the daily newspaper and stacks of biographies, before starting to write raps. He received his nickname "Shy" during early childhood. At age 16, he was arrested for a robbery and spent 14 months in juvenile detention, where he also earned his GED. At age 9, he was arrested for petty larceny. He grew up in a household with his mother, grandmother, and his younger brother, 3 Glizzy. His father was shot and killed at 19 years old, before Shy's first birthday. Shy Glizzy was born Marquis Amonte King on December 12, 1992, at Greater Southeast Community Hospital and grew up on 37th St., near Fort Dupont Park, in Southeast Washington, D.C.
