Rapper G-Eazy, coming off the heels of his summer album Freak Show and his most recent North American tour, has released two new singles that paint a picture of the life he’s living. In his mini-EP, he shows his audience a peek into his lavish lifestyle in “Nada,” and in “Vampires,” there’s a hint of his turbulent love life.
The songs were first unleashed onto the world during the penultimate show of his 2024 tour, where excitement brewed among fans as those who attended the concert shared recordings of the previously unheard songs.
Both singles could be considered fairly low-key in comparison to his other output, for he brings a chill energy to the tracks, as if singing for him is utterly effortless. In “Nada,” his calmness is, in part, due to the song he chose to sample. While it isn’t impossible to turn “Tom’s Diner” by Suzanne Vega into something with a large scope, as evidenced by Imagine Dragons’s “Centuries,” G-Eazy takes the more natural route by rapping his verses in the same nonchalant cadence as Vega in her original track. In “Vampires,” the lower energy can be accredited to him wanting to appear above his lady love, the titular bloodsucker. In the lyrics, he explains, “I don’t know if I would like you in the daylight.”
It’s unknown, as of now, if these songs will prelude to another new album or if they’re just an exercise of the proverbial muscles, as it were.
