Marquis Amonte King (born December 12, 1992), better known by the stage name Shy Glizzy (stylized as $hy Glizzy), is an American rapper from Southeast, Washington, D.C. He is best known for his guest feature alongside Brent Faiyaz on GoldLink's 2016 single "Crew", which peaked at number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 and received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rap/Sung Performance.

Shy Glizzy was born Marquis Amonte King on December 12, 1992, at Greater Southeast Community Hospital and grew up in Laurel, Maryland.

He received his nickname "Shy" during early childhood.

As a teenager, he began reading the Quran, then the daily newspaper and stacks of biographies, before starting to write raps.

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.

2011

In 2011, Shy Glizzy released his debut project, titled No Brain, in January.

He released his second mixtape, Streets Hottest Youngin, on October 31.

2012

On June 6, 2012, Shy released his third mixtape titled Law.

He was featured by Complex on its list of "10 New DMV Rappers To Watch Out For."

The Washington City Paper's Ramon Ramirez referred to it as "a well-connected tape [which] sometimes feels like it wants to be a major-label-debut", featuring guest appearances from Project Pat and Wale and production from Beat Billionaire, but described Shy as being "less polished, and more, while his hooks are repetitive and droning but also hungry and catchy."

On November 14, 2012, Shy released his fourth mixtape, Fly Money, an 11-track collaborative project with Jose Guapo.

On December 12, he released his fifth mixtape, Fxck Rap, featuring a guest appearance from Trinidad James and production from Speaker Knockerz.

On January 20, he announced his seventh mixtape, Young Jefe, which went on to be released on February 17, and included guest appearances from the likes of Young Scooter, Peewee Longway, Young Thug, Plies and Gudda Gudda.

From that mixtape, the hit single "Awwsome" turned into the biggest song of his career and peaked at number 45 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

It spawned a remix off the record that features A$AP Rocky and 2 Chainz that grabbed more than 750,000 streams on SoundCloud in the first week of its release.

In a December 2014 interview with The Fader, when asked about his thoughts on DMV rap, Shy responded "DMV still didn't become a thing. Nobody opened up a lane for DMV rap [...] I opened up my lane. I opened up Glizzy Gang lane, the southeast DC lane."

On January 6, 2017, Shy Glizzy released an EP, The World is Yours, under the stage name Jefe.

HipHopDX's Aaron McKrell described it as "an energetic but hollow offering" but praised Shy Glizzy's delivery and "ability to manipulate vocal sonics."

He rated the project 2.7 out of 5.

Pitchfork's Sheldon Pearce stated that it "isn't King at the peak of his powers [...] Here, he mostly seems content to roll leisurely through verses" and showed "no sense of urgency."

On April 19, Covered n' Blood was released as Glizzy's second Billboard 200-charting record, peaking at 156.

Shy ended 2019 with a second mixtape titled Aloha, inspired by and recorded on the island of Hawaii.
