It started out making mixtapes and selling them out of my backpack, then I went to school at Loyola University in New Orleans to learn more about the music industry, performing while I was a student and even going on tour, and since then everything’s been crazy. For those not as familiar with you and your music, how did you get your start in music? Who or what was the catalyst for you? I’ve been doing this for over 10 years, ever since I was a kid. As much as I miss the road it’s nice to have a break. Hey G! Where does this interview find you today? What’s on the agenda today besides our interview? Yo Nicole! I’m enjoying a rare day or two at home in the Bay. The rapper recently teamed up with songstress, Bebe Rexha for the track “ Me, Myself & I.

Even after VIBEexclaimed that “G-Eazy is, in fact, already a star, or at the very least destined to become one,” his goal remains the same as it did when he first started.ĭuring summer of 2015, G-Eazy played some of the main stages at a series of notable music festivals such as Lollapalooza, Electric Forest, Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, Made in America and Austin City Limits. The critics are in agreement with G-Eazy’s legions of fans, with Billboard proclaiming that G-Eazy is “ The Young Elvis” in a multi-page feature story and The New York Times stating that G-Eazy is “clever, approachable and extremely legible” on These Things Happen. The response has only grown more fervent, with G-Eazy’s second nationwide headline tour leading to the release of his highly anticipated second full-length album These Things Happen, which topped the Billboard Hip-Hop/R&B and Top Rap Albums Charts, also earning the #3 spot on the Billboard 200 and the Top Digital Albums Chart. From the overwhelming success of the tour Paste Magazine named G-Eazy in their top artists to watch in 2013, High Times Magazine named him the “ Best New Artist of 2013,” and Lil Wayne tapped him to join the America’s Most Wanted Festival nationwide tour. Looking more like a Tarantino hero than a standard MC, he stirred up a frenzy among the heavily female crowds, dodging a bras or two from the stage on a nightly basis. 2013 saw G-Eazy complete his first headline tour, selling out shows everywhere from New York, Milwaukee, and Salt Lake City to Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Blending elegant production with a sly, slick, and smooth flow, the album landed at #3 on the iTunes Hip Hop Chart completely independent of a label. During that summer’s Warped Tour, he produced, wrote, and recorded what would become his full-length debut, Must Be Nice. With the release of Endless Summer, G-Eazy started to garner attention from both the backpackers and the mainstream. He missed more than a few keggers so he could lay down tracks in his dorm room for a series of buzz-generating mixtapes culminating in his 2011 breakout, Endless Summer. For the budding artist, the partying wasn’t nearly as important as creating. So what does the future look like for the producer, songwriter, and rapper? Well, it’s just as bright as he is… Raised in Oakland, CA, G-Eazy made the decision to enroll at Loyola University New Orleans because of their strong music industry program where he started to cultivate and craft his own inimitable style while still in college. For as traditionally dapper as he may be, he’s got both feet firmly planted in the future. Dressed in black with his hair slicked back, G-Eazy adds a touch of class to hip-hop.
