💥 G-Eazy: The White Boy with Swag Who Took Over Hip-Hop 🎤

RAPSCO wants to tell ya a lil story! When you talk about a hip-hop artist with style, flow, and a story that hits different, you gotta mention G-Eazy. Born Gerald Earl Gillum, this Oakland-bred rapper didn’t just pop up overnight—he grinded hard to get his spot in the game. From his early mixtapes to chart-topping hits, G-Eazy’s journey’s been full of highs, lows, and undeniable bops. Let’s get into his rise to fame, his struggles, and those fire tracks that made him a household name.

🌱 The Come-Up: From Mixtapes to Mainstream

G-Eazy’s grind started way back when he was just a college kid at Loyola University in New Orleans. Dude was making beats and dropping mixtapes like “The Endless Summer”—and that’s where his swag started to shine. His remix of “Runaround Sue” went viral, giving us a taste of his vintage-meets-modern vibe.

But it wasn’t just about the sound—it was his whole aesthetic. Slicked-back hair, leather jackets, and a smooth flow had everybody paying attention. His 2014 album “These Things Happen”? Certified 🔥🔥🔥. With hits like “I Mean It” and “Let’s Get Lost”, G-Eazy proved he wasn’t a one-hit-wonder.

💔 The Struggle: Fame Ain’t Always Pretty

As much as G-Eazy’s life looked glitzy, dude had his battles. Addiction, legal trouble, and public breakups kept his name in the headlines—and not always in a good way. His 2018 arrest in Sweden for assault and drug possession had fans worried, but G kept it real, owning up to his mistakes, but that does mean he is actually guilty of anything.

And let’s not forget his rollercoaster love life—from Halsey to other high-profile flings, his relationships often played out in the public eye. Through it all, G-Eazy used his music as therapy, pouring his pain and lessons into tracks like “Everything’s Strange Here” and “Him & I” with Halsey.

🎶 The Hits: Songs That Made G-Eazy a Star 🌟

If you ain’t got G-Eazy on your playlist, you’re missing out. Here’s a quick rundown of some of his dopest tracks:

• “Me, Myself & I” (ft. Bebe Rexha) — This one’s a whole mood, perfect for when you’re vibing solo.
• “No Limit” (ft. A$AP Rocky & Cardi B) — Straight club banger that had everybody wildin’ out.
• “Tumblr Girls” — A smooth, chill track with those late-night vibes.
• “Drifting” (ft. Chris Brown & Tory Lanez) — That mix of R&B and rap? Chef’s kiss.
• “Sober” (ft. Charlie Puth) — A real one about regret and reflection.

All these tracks (and more) are killing it on YouTube—go give them their 💯 credit and some plays.

🎉 The Legacy: G-Eazy Ain’t Done Yet

Through the ups and downs, G-Eazy’s kept it ten toes down in the game. He’s not just a rapper—he’s a visionary, a fashion icon, and a lyrical storyteller. With his new projects dropping and his evolution as an artist, the future’s still looking bright for this Oakland king. Raps.co gives G-Eazy much love!

So keep your ears open and your speakers loud—G-Eazy’s still got a whole lot to say. 🎶💯
