On this high-energy episode of That Ain't My Business the hosts PTB Ugly, Nesto tha Don and Trill sit down with rising Shreveport rapper and entrepreneur Pretty Shay (also a lash and beauty biz owner) for an unfiltered conversation about music, hustle and life. From punching in tracks on GarageBand at 16 to building a grind that balances motherhood, beauty services and studio time, Pretty breaks down how she found her voice and the work she puts in.
The discussion covers musical influences (Nicki Minaj, the city’s own scene and newer names like Y2B Fat), the creative process (writing vs punching in verses), and standout tracks—talking through the club bangers, the provocative anthem 3am and an emotional tribute she recorded for her grandmother. Hosts and guest also tease unreleased material and plans for live performance and visuals.
Beyond music, the episode dives into candid cultural debate: infidelity and whether people should take cheaters back, the local TELP vigilante lists and their consequences, perspectives on sex work, and the realities of child support. The conversation is frank, funny and sometimes heated—covering what it means to be independent as an artist versus signing to a label, how to turn features and studio investments into long-term momentum, and the cost of chasing fame.
Listeners get behind-the-scenes studio talk—who Pretty records with (BJ, Michael at Hidden Sound, Menace), what makes a record or an artist stick in Shreveport, and how collaborations are negotiated. The hosts also offer local color with anecdotes about the city, nightlife, past hustles and personal stories that give the episode its raw, neighborhood vibe.
Key emotional moments include Pretty’s account of grief and the difficult recording of a song for her grandmother, reflections on loss, family and the role of faith, plus candid admissions about past choices and why she channels feelings into music. There’s also a frank exchange about drugs, recovery, and how those choices shape careers and lives.
Expect humor, salty banter and real talk—this episode blends performance (live freestyles and song snippets), industry hustle (reels, videos, branding) and community realness. If you want an inside look at an emerging Southern artist balancing business, motherhood and rap—while roasting and being roasted by three unapologetic hosts—this episode delivers.
