United States EST Gee has built a notable career in music, transitioning from an athlete to a recording artist and label executive.
EST Gee launched his new label venture, "Young Shiners," in partnership with Santa Anna, a label services company powered by Sony Music and Alamo Records. This partnership aims to provide resources and support for EST Gee's new imprint.
OneNess Sneaker Boutique on Bardstown Road partnered with EST Gee to donate over 350 pairs of shoes, backpacks, and other school supplies to children in a back-to-school giveaway event.
EST Gee signed a deal with Yo Gotti's Collective Music Group (CMG), an imprint of Interscope Records, in a joint venture with Warlike in early 2021, leading to increased musical output and collaborations.
George Albert Stone III, known professionally as EST Gee, was born on May 11, 1994, in Louisville, Kentucky. He spent his early years in the Clarksdale Projects before moving to Tubman Court & Ellington Avenue. Academically, Stone graduated from St. Xavier High School in 2012, subsequently receiving a football scholarship to Indiana State University where he majored in communications. He continued his collegiate sports career at Sac City College and Stephen F. Austin University before leaving college in 2016. In the same year, he faced legal challenges, receiving a four-month house arrest sentence for drug trafficking. This period marked a turning point, inspiring him to pursue a career in music after observing Lil Baby’s success. EST Gee briefly played for the CFL team, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, in 2017.
His music career began in December 2017 with the release of “Stains” on YouTube under the name “Big Gee.” Adopting the moniker EST Gee, an acronym for “Everybody Shines Together,” he consistently released new music, cultivating a local fanbase. His third mixtape, “Ion Feel Nun,” released on March 6, 2020, garnered wider attention, followed by “I Still Don’t Feel Nun” in December 2020. A significant milestone occurred in January 2021 when EST Gee signed with Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group (CMG), Interscope Records, and Warlike. This partnership led to his feature on Lil Baby’s “Real as It Gets,” which became his first Billboard Hot 100 entry, peaking at number 34. His fifth mixtape, “Bigger Than Life or Death,” released in July 2021, achieved further commercial success, debuting at number 7 on the Billboard 200 and featuring collaborations with artists like Future, Young Thug, Pooh Shiesty, and Lil Durk. In December 2021, he released the deluxe edition, “Bigger Than Life or Death, Pt. 2.” His debut studio album, “I Never Felt Nun” (2022), reached number eight on the Billboard 200, solidifying his position in the music industry. Beyond music, EST Gee has also expanded into business ventures, launching his own label and exploring a sports agency.
