Synopsis
G-Eazy is living proof that appearances can be deceiving. A six-foot-four Caucasian male clad all in black like a Johnny Cash throwback, he has also been likened to a 'young Elvis' (Billboard), with slicked-back James Dean hair (Rolling Stone). He looks more like a greaser from The Outsiders or American Graffiti than anything resembling a contemporary rap star. But when he picks up a mic, he is unmistakably hip hop. His rhymes are underpinned by slow southern, trap rhythms and minimal synths, though sung choruses boost his crossover appeal — he makes no apologies for his pursuit of fame. As comfortable working with Lil Wayne and Chris Brown as he is with Britney Spears, he told Rolling Stone in 2014 that 'I've always wanted to be a star. I've always wanted to be an Elvis Presley or a Tupac.. I have an addictive personality and fame is the most addictive drug there is.'
How Gerald Became G-Eazy
Gerald Earl Gillum was born on May 24, 1989 in Oakland, California. His father, Edward, is a professor of art at California State University, Fresno; his mother, Suzanne Olmsted, is an artist and teacher. He has a younger brother, James, who is a musician. After his parents split when he was in the first grade, Gillum and his brother were raised by their mom — who worked two teaching jobs to keep their heads above water. But money was tight: all three of them shared a room at his grandparents' house. Gillum followed his mom's example, and worked for the Top Dog restaurant chain from the age of 14. 'That's the only way we brought money in,' he told Rolling Stone. 'If I wanted something I had to go work for it.'
Thanks for watching!
He attended Berkeley High School, where a group of his peers had a Billboard hit as the hip-hop act the Pack. Gillum has described this as his 'seeing-is-believing moment,' when he realized that if people he actually knew could succeed, then he could, too. Like the Pack, he had also been making beats — using the music-production software Reason. He sold mixtapes out of his backpack for five bucks each.
Producing Mixtapes While in College
G-Eazy's initial sound was influenced by hyphy — the rowdy style of hip hop from Northern California — but he slowed the pace down after moving South to New Orleans for college in 2007, where he soaked up Southern bounce music, epitomized by local hero Lil Wayne. By now he was set on a career in hip hop, and chose a bachelor of arts degree in music industries studies at Loyola University to help him progress. He released several mixtapes as digital downloads while at Loyola, including 'The Tipping Point' (2008), 'Sikkis on the Planet' and 'Quarantine' (both 2009), 'Big' (2010) and 'The Outsider' (2011); he also released a download-only LP in 2009, The Epidemic LP. Gradually his reputation grew — by the time he graduated in 2011 he had toured with Lil Wayne and Drake. Although he wasn't able to socialize much with the headline acts outside of the shows, he took the opportunity to watch and learn how to program a live set, work a crowd, develop a rapport with the audience, and how to act like a star: lessons that would serve him well.
'Must Be Nice' to 'When It's Dark Out' Albums
After graduation, Gillum dropped another mixtape, The Endless Summer, in August 2011, which featured an updated version of Dion DiMucci's 1961 hit 'Runaround Sue.' The accompanying video, directed by Tyler Yee, firmly established his 1960s aesthetic, which Gillum has described as 'modern meets Johnny Cash.' The following year he independently released his first full-length album, Must Be Nice, which peaked at No. 33 on the Billboard R&B/hip hop album chart, and No. 3 on the iTunes hip hop chart. He made his major-label debut in June 2014, with the album These Things Happen, on RCA. Guests included label-mate A$AP Ferg, the veteran Bay Area rapper E-40 and fellow Californians HBK Collective. The album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard album chart and was certified gold by the RIAA. Gillum embarked on his first overseas tour, From the Bay to the Universe, which included dates in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
His second album for RCA, When It's Dark Out, dropped in November 2015, with guests including E-40 (again), Big Sean, Chris Brown, Bebe Rexha and Keyshia Cole. The album debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard chart and was certified platinum. Its lead single, 'Me Myself & I,' a duet with Bebe Rexha, reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (his first Top 10 single). A remix of the album's second single, 'Order More,' featured Lil Wayne and Yo Gotti.
A Moment of Introspection: 'Everything Will Be OK'
Hard work and hedonism are consistent themes in G-Eazy's music — but When It's Dark Out also revealed a more introspective and vulnerable side on the song 'Everything Will Be OK.' The lyrics address his guilt at leaving his friends and family behind to chase his dream — and then in the third verse he talks about his initial confusion over his mom's lesbian relationship with a woman called Melissa, which he eventually came to accept. But there is a tragic ending when Gillum relates how he came home one day to find Melissa dead after overdosing on prescription drugs. 'It's a really, really personal story that I had never even told my closest friends,' he told Nylon magazine. 'But the song is just about acceptance. It's about love and it's about appreciating people while they're here.'
G-Eazy's stellar ascent continued in July 2016 when he was featured on 'Make Me…' — Britney Spears' lead single from her ninth album. In March 2017 he released a single, 'Good Life,' a collaboration with the singer Kehlani that received more than 13 million YouTube views in its first month. He also released Step Brothers, an EP with DJ Carnage. He is currently working on his third studio album for RCA.

No phones out when we're partying
I've had enough of these problems
The British come and I wander
I fuck tens outta boredom
Cocaine and these models
And that's the first one brother
Yeah, okay, every day my stock inclines
I don't see no stopping signs
Some model bitches choppin' lines
Choppin' lines, this is gettin' common, it's a hobby, I'm..
Partying like every night, do this shit until we die
[Hook: G-Eazy + Danny Seth]
Bad to the bone, yeah, the bone marrow
Bitch I’m bad to the bone, yeah, the bone marrow
All I give a fuck about is that dinero
They say 'You a fool boy, what’s wrong with Gerald?'
[Intro: Crush Club]
Sitting back in the chair
Thinking about the last time
I saw your face around mine (around mine)
The words were put on temporary delay
So what the hell was I supposed to say?
You walked away
[Hook: Crush Club]
I tried to not think about it at all
Tossed and turned in my sleep
Until your vision was gone
With a few drinks and a couple of tears
I should be over this in just a couple of years
Addicted to the feeling of being a crush
Maybe I’ll just drive cuz it gives me a rush
I can’t slow it down so I crash and burn
They call me a loveaholic
I don’t feel like I can solve it
Now I feel so diabolic without you, without you
They call me a loveaholic
I don’t feel like I can solve it
Now I feel so diabolic, I need you, I feel you
[Verse 1: G-Eazy]
Doctor, doctor please prescribe me a prescription
Some antiseptics for my affliction
It’s getting worse; I've got a terrible condition
But it’s what happens when you’re dealing with addiction
See, I’m missing my love
I miss what it was, the kisses and hugs
Yo, the way I’m missing her got me thinking its drugs
Like Cupid upgraded from arrows to slugs
[Hook: Crush Club]
I tried not thinking about it at all
Tossed and turned in my sleep till your vision was gone
With a few drinks and a couple of tears
I should be over this in just a couple of years
Addicted to the feeling of being a crush
Maybe I’ll just drive cuz it gives me a rush
I can’t slow it down so I crash and burn
They call me a loveaholic
I don’t feel like I can solve it
Now I feel so diabolic without you, without you
They call me a loveaholic
I don’t feel like I can solve it
Now I feel so diabolic, I need you, I feel you
They call me a loveaholic
I don’t feel like I can solve it
Now I feel so diabolic without you, without you
They call me a loveaholic
I don’t feel like I can solve it
Now I feel so diabolic without you, without you
[Verse 2: G-Eazy]
Look, I need to go to rehab
For what we had
And I admit I never expected it to be bad
But losing you got me falling like my knees bad
She keep asking me how I can be mad
I let her go in the first place
Had to do it
Stupid but you’ve always been the first face
I keep in mind when I rhyme and write songs
Missing all your lingerie and tight thongs
Just a little nasty, but always kept it classy
Flashy, but humble enough to still attract me
And I still keep your picture in my wallet
Call it what you call it
I’m a damn loveaholic
[Hook: Crush Club]
I tried not thinking about it at all
Tossed and turned in my sleep till your vision was gone
With a few drinks and a couple of tears
I should be over this in just a couple of years
Addicted to the feeling of being a crush
Maybe I’ll just drive cuz it gives me a rush
I can’t slow it down so I crash and burn
They call me a loveaholic
I don’t feel like I can solve it
Now I feel so diabolic without you, without you
They call me a loveaholic
I don’t feel like I can solve it
Now I feel so diabolic, I need you, I feel you
[Verse 3: Crush Club]
Oh, try not to think about it all
The butterflies inside will eventually fall
Try not to think about it now
I will find someone, just tell me how
[Outro]
They call me a loveaholic
I don’t feel like I can solve it
Now I feel so diabolic without you, without you
They call me a loveaholic
I don’t feel like I can solve it
Now I feel so diabolic, I need you, I feel you
They call me a loveaholic
I don’t feel like I can solve it
Now I feel so diabolic without you, without you

[Intro]
Yeah, ayy, uh
I do this shit 'cause I-
Turn, turn it up a little bit
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta blap
Yo, yo, yo, ayy
[Pre-Chorus]
I might go fuck up these bands (ayy)
I do this shit 'cause I can (yeah)
I just took care of my fam (ayy)
Thought this was always the plan (yeah)
I might go fly to Japan (ayy)
Honolulu, get a tan (yeah)
To the beach I don't bring sand (no)
Thought that was always the plan (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Growed up, now I am the man (yeah)
It's shit you don't understand (ayy)
Popeye just opened the can
I don't fuck with no fufu that's not on my brand (ayy)
Call me when you need a hand (yeah)
In the Bay, I'm Superman (ayy)
YSL on me, goddamn
Tell me, why is your girlfriend my number one fan? (yeah)
Always scrutinized
Bags are supersized, why are you surprised?
Must have mixed us with a different group of guys
Spot the truth or lies, I mean business but I'm not in suit and ties
Just been prophesized (yeah, uh)
This shit fell right into place (yeah)
Indy 500 my pace (ayy)
Drinking it straight to the face
Liquor and women, two things I don't chase (uh)
Don't got a minute to waste (yeah)
Mask off, I'm showing my face (yeah)
Shout-out Dakari, my ace (uh)
They hate so much, it's a disgrace (uh)
I put 'em back into place (yeah)
I put your bitch in a Wraith
I just snatch her, she's vanishing without a trace (yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
I might go fuck up these bands (ayy)
I do this shit 'cause I can (yeah)
I just took care of my fam (ayy)
Thought this was always the plan (yeah)
I might go fly to Japan (ayy)
Honolulu, get a tan (yeah)
To the beach I don't bring sand (no)
Thought that was always the plan (no)
[Chorus]
Thought that was always the plan (no)
Thought that was always the plan (ayy)
Did it, I do it again (no)
Thought that was always the plan
I might go fuck up these bands (ayy)
I do this shit 'cause I can (yeah)
I just took care of my fam (ayy)
Thought this was always the plan (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Ten years, this shit has been brewing (ayy)
I'm like 'The fuck you been doing?' (yeah)
Hall of Fame, Gerald's a shoe in
You'll never be Jordan, you're more Patrick Ewing (yeah)
Number one spot, I'm pursuing (ayy)
Exclusive like 'Who done let you in?'
Money talks, I speak it fluent
Got tired of my bitch, I went got a new one
Quick swish that, this bitch whack
Pack, flip that, making quick stacks
This shit blap, G did that (uh)
Taking a quick trap nap (yeah)
I go all night and shit, ain't gotta hide this shit
This shit's a freestyle, I ain't even write this shit
Roll me some Marty and I’m finna light this shit (ayy, yeah)
They finna bite this shit, ayy (yeah)
Like Jaws swimming on South Beach, this is shit that they don't teach
Don't go too far, don't try too hard, bitch, don't reach like (uh)
Drugs got me on a level, lockjaw, I got slow speech
I'm courtside, I got floor seats next to Rihanna like 'Oh sheesh!'
[Pre-Chorus]
I might go fuck up these bands (ayy)
I do this shit 'cause I can (yeah)
I just took care of my fam (ayy)
Thought this was always the plan (yeah)

[Chorus]
Thought that was always the plan (no)
Thought that was always the plan (ayy)
Did it, I do it again (no)
Thought that was always the plan
I might go fuck up these bands (ayy)
I do this shit cause I can (yeah)
I just took care of my fam (ayy)
Thought this was always the plan (yeah)
[Outro]
I thought this was always the plan
What were you doing? What do you mean?
There's only one way, there's only one option
There's only one route to get there, you know?
It's not gon' make itself
When you wake up and check the Chase app
And this shit got more and more digits than a license plate
Them seven-eight figures don't make themselves, yadadamean?
You gotta get it! This was always the plan
Yeah, ayy, uh
I do this shit 'cause I-
Turn, turn it up a little bit
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta blap
Yo, yo, yo, ayy
[Pre-Chorus]
I might go fuck up these bands (ayy)
