Focusing on the realist side of Southern rap, EST Gee authentically documents day-to-day life in Louisville, Kentucky, incorporating trap and other contemporary variants of the genre. After developing a unique style on several self-released mixtapes, EST Gee signed with Interscope for the release of his gold-certified 2021 project Bigger Than Life or Death, and in 2022 he delivered his debut studio album, I Never Felt Nun, a collection of tense street raps with occasional dips into melody provided by guest rappers like Future and Jack Harlow. The album made it to the Top Ten of the Billboard 200 and R&B/hip-hop charts. That success was followed by a pair of equally tough 2023 projects, Mad and El Toro 2. I Aint Feeling You, Gee's second album, landed in in 2025 with Lil Baby and Travis Scott featured on the standout track "Houstatlantaville." ~ James Wilkinson, Rovi
