In 2015, he was charged with a felony gun charge and spent a year and four months behind bars and then spent another four months in prison from October 2017 to January 2018 After being released from prison for the second time, he began his music career with the release of his single “No Suburban,” a response to 22Gz’s “Suburban.” Sheff G released his debut mixtape, The Unluccy Luccy Kid, in 2019, which was followed by his debut album, One and Only, a year later. His label, Winners Circle Entertainment, signed a deal with RCA Records and his next 2020 single, “Tip Toe” with Sleepy Hallow, was his biggest success since “No Suburban.” At the end of 2020, Sheff G released his second mixtape, Proud of Me Now.
