Wheezy solely produced all songs from American rapper Gunna's debut extended play, Drip or Drown (2017). He later served as executive producer alongside American record producer Turbo and American rapper Young Thug for Gunna's debut studio album, Drip or Drown 2 (2019) and his second studio album, Wunna (2020), also producing the majority of the songs from both albums. [4]

Early life and career

Wesley Tyler Glass was born on October 26, 1992, in Vicksburg, Mississippi. His mother is from Mississippi and his father from Atlanta, Georgia, where he would travel back and forth between, eventually residing in Atlanta. [1]

Wheezy started making beats at the age of 15 for his brother, who went by TG Montana and taught him how to work within FL Studio. He then started working with Shad da God, who previously went by Rich Kid Shawty, an original member of Rich Kidz. Wheezy has been given production advice from experienced producers such as Metro Boomin, Southside, Sonny Digital and Lex Luger whom he has gotten the chance to collaborate with. [1]

Production style and influences

The Fader wrote that Wheezy's production "tends toward the spacious and spare", and gave him credit for "much of the opaque, pristine production of 2015's Barter 6 , and several highlights from the Slime Season series". [1] He uses FL Studio, along with the M-Audio Oxygen 88 keyboard. Glass often utilizes samples, especially vintage sounds. He says he "blends" his snares.[ citation needed ] He frequently uses the VST Purity, which he has used since his early days as a producer. Glass' influences include Drumma Boy, Shawty Redd, DJ Toomp, and WondaGurl. [1] His productions can be recognized by producer tag "Wheezy outta here".
