Pdweestraw

Pdweestraw is an Aboriginal Indigenous artist, songwriter, and producer from Chicago, Illinois. With a dynamic range that spans rap, reggae, hip-hop, and pop, his music breaks genre barriers and delivers a unique message with each release. Touching on themes like religion, education, financial growth, and personal development, his lyrics are rooted in real-life experiences and social awareness. Inspired by icons like Jay-Z, Future, and 2 Chainz, Pdweestraw combines business sense, stylistic depth, and community values into both his sound and brand.

His journey is one of resilience. On August 23, 2023, he survived a near-fatal car accident that required open-heart surgery after a torn aorta—an impact that was partially absorbed by a custom Wise Guy charm, which likely saved his life. Instead of slowing down, he returned with greater purpose, headlining shows, earning FM radio spins, and landing major features—most notably with Lil Wayne on “8:45.”

A lifelong creative, Pdweestraw started writing poetry at seven and recorded his first track by 14. He launched his label Wise Guy in 2010 and hit streaming platforms in 2014. With three singles on Chicago’s 92.3FM and collaborations with major names, he continues building his legacy—driven to become one of the most influential artists of his generation.
