G-Eazy’s Dark Carnival

Dressed in black with his hair slicked back, G-Eazy adds a touch of class to hiphop. For as traditionally dapper as he may be, he's got both feet firmly planted in
the future. 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 the
budding artist, the partying wasn't nearly as important as creating. 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.

With the release of Endless Summer, G-Eazy started to garner attention from
both the backpackers and the mainstream. MtvU nominated him for "Best Music
On Campus," while he played to packed houses opening for superstars such as
Drake and Lil Wayne.

Diploma in hand, he hit 2012 running. During that summer's Warped Tour, he
produced, wrote, and recorded what would become his full-length debut, Must Be
Nice. 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.

That next chapter is already unfolding. 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. 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. 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.

"We built up to this point one gig at a time," G-Eazy affirms. "I always wanted to
do my own thing whether it's producing my own songs or dressing my own way."
The response will only grow more fervent as he unveils his highly anticipated
second full-length album These Things Happen out June 23, 2014 and embarks
on his second nationwide headline tour in 2014. Still, his goal remains the same
as it did when he first started.

"I hope to connect with people," he concludes. "If the music inspires someone,
that's incredible. It's about a deeper relationship with the listener that hopefully
lasts a long time. You're with me now."
