G-Eazy started gaining fame in 2009 when he won the NAACP Best Music on Campus Woodie. By 2010 G-Eazy was offered to open up for famous rapper, Drake. In 2011, his first two singles, “Waspy” and “Candy Girl,” had over 400,000 plays on MySpace. More recently, G-Eazy has opened up for well known artists, such as Hoodie Allen, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Shwayze, Big Sean, A$AP Rocky, and has even featured the annual summer Warped Tour.
In summer of 2011, G-Eazy released his mixtape The Endless Summer, which is up for free download on his website, along with his newest mixtape, Must Be Nice. The Endless Summer includes mix of different songs with G-Eazy’s personal twist. His remake of the 1950’s No. 1 hit “Runaround Sue” by Dion Dimucci has gained over 3 million views on YouTube.

Without label support, G-Eazy has made his way across the U.S. on multiple tours. Music Media website Earmilk author, Alyce Currier reviewed one of G-Eazy’s shows and stated, “I’m going to go ahead and state, with a certain degree of authoritativeness, that he stole the show. He has that ‘I don’t know what’ that makes someone a ‘firework.’ His interactions with the crowd were seamless and his actual performance was perfection.” The initial venue chosen for the Austin show was too small to handle all of G-Eazy’s fans. The show has been moved to Scoot Inn, and additional tickets are now on sale. Score them while you can!
