Sheff G Facts
- He was brought up in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn in New York.
- Sheff G has recalled that while growing up, he being of Caribbean origin, his family would have Soca music on but his cousins had been in tune with the Brooklyn and New York music and so would be listening to artists like The Notorious B.I.G. and 50 Cent. So, there always used to be a variety of music around.

- In August 2020, Sheff G along with his rap collaborator Sleepy Hallow through Winners Circle Entertainment had signed a partnership deal with RCA.

- Sheff G has affirmed that he has been proud of how Brooklyn has found a distinctive sound with its own version of drill music and has been grateful that he has been hailed as one of the vanguards of the movement that brought it about. He has gone on to point out that it started from Chicago due to artists like Chief Keef and G Herbo, and so it really came over to New York as a result of tuning in to YouTube and the drill producers giving the freedom to go and pull those beats and use them.
- His 2020 single No Suburban, Pt. 2 went viral with more than 21 million streams. It was also certified ‘Gold’ by RIAA in 2022.
