That time period, 2004-2006 was when I was really coming of age and falling in love with music, so that was definitely the most influential era in my upbringing. G-Eazy: Well the Hyphy movement was what I grew up on. I think it’s just something that comes with the territory, I guess.Īmbrosia for Heads: What are some of the most influential musical movements from there that you feel are really a part of you and the rest of this generation of Hip-Hop artists from the area? We’re kind of a bubble, and we take pride in that, in being different. I don’t think there’s any other place in the world quite like it. G-Eazy: The Bay Area is a weird kinda place.

With a massive international tour set to kick off stateside on New Year’s Eve, G-Eazy is once again gearing up for worldwide dominance while still enjoying a relative low profile before his name recognition reaches the next plane.

With both These Things Happen and When It’s Dark Out debuting at number one on the U.S. A year later, fans received his independently released Must Be Nice, and it’s been a steady climb to acclaim for him ever since. With mixtapes dating back to his high-school days, the artist born Gerald Gillum has been putting in serious work for nearly a decade and began to enjoy considerable attention in 2011, when he released the mixtape The Endless Summer. The 26 year-old has already worked with giants like E-40, Big Sean, Chris Brown, Keyshia Cole, and Too Short, but he is also a champion for the lesser known, grassroots artists like Gizzle, Jay Ant, and Cashmere Cat.
