About G-Eazy

Gerald Earl Gillum (born May 24, 1989), known professionally as G-Eazy, is an American rapper. Based in Oakland, California, he began his career in 2006 and self-released two studio albums before signing with RCA Records to release his third album and major label debut, These Things Happen (2014). It peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and spawned the single "I Mean It" (featuring Remo), which received triple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100. His fourth and fifth albums, When It's Dark Out (2015) and The Beautiful & Damned (2017), both debuted within the Billboard 200's top five. Their respective lead singles, "Me, Myself & I" (with Bebe Rexha) and "No Limit" (featuring Cardi B and ASAP Rocky), both entered the Billboard Hot 100's top ten; the latter peaked at number four on the chart and remains his highest-charting song. His sixth album, These Things Happen Too (2021), was met with a commercial decline, peaking at number 19 on the Billboard 200. His seventh and eighth albums, Freak Show (2024) and Helium (2025), both failed to chart in any territory. Starting out as a record producer, G-Eazy began working on singles while he was still a student at the Loyola University at New Orleans with his producer Christoph Andersson who also was a student there. On September 26, 2012, G-Eazy released his first full-length album, Must Be Nice. Based in Oakland, California, he began his career in 2006 and released two independent studio albums before signing with RCA Records to release his third album and major label debut, These Things Happen (2014).
