We recently released a spotlight on up and coming New Orleans Loyola student/hip hop star G-Eazy. Since the spotlight, he really seems to be making a lot of noise in New Orleans lately. On March 22nd G will open for Snoop Dogg in McAlister Auditorium at Tulane. Just a week and a half later on April 1st, his newest mixtape entitled The Outsider will drop.
G's manager Matt just sent art/official a leak from the new mixtape. G features an amazing sample from the Phenomenal Handclap Band in the track that is truly very hypnotizing set against his lyrics. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Feel free to download it by clicking the down arrow on the right hand side.
Gerald Gillum, aka G-Eazy, is a rapper, producer, and performer from Bay Area California who currently resides in New Orleans, Louisiana. When he isn’t busy hitting the books at Loyola University, where he is pursuing a degree in music business, G passes his time writing, recording, and performing refreshingly coherent and honest rap songs that have already earned him a good deal of national acclaim. The young rapper has been lucky enough thus far to share a stage with big names like Girl Talk, Curren$y, Drake, Mike Jones, and Juvenile, effectively proving that he has a bright future ahead of himself.
If nothing else, Gillum is evidence to the improbable notion that the two conflicting lifestyles of student and rapper can be successfully lived by one person, and that’s quite an accomplishment in itself. Furthermore, these two seemingly incompatible lifestyles feed off of each other in a completely symbiotic and healthy way; the half way normal life lead by Gillum as a student and “self-doubting” young adult often times provides him with the inspiration needed to orchestrate his music.
