hop star G-Eazy could easily be mistaken for a cologne model. With his retro greaser look,
G-Eazy (né Gerald Earl Gillum) has cultivated a unique style for his chosen genre, earning
him the title of “the James Dean of hip hop.” Caught between flattered and exasperated by
this categorization, G-Eazy is trying to stake his own ground.
“It’s definitely a compliment,” G-Eazy tells EW. “James Dean is a legend, an iconic
American star. He’s timeless and girls still have posters of him on the walls.” He continues,
“But you know, I dress the way I want. I do music the way I want,” adding that “It’s easy to
put people in boxes, but that’s because people don’t really know you.”
G-Eazy is part of the post-boom bap generation of hip hop, fusing with other genres (as
in his version of “Runaround Sue”) and attracting audiences that lean mainstream. After
two years on the road, G-Eazy returns with his third
record, These Things Happen, a more mature
album influenced by the hyphy sound of the
Bay Area. “It’s finely crafted. We had more
time, there’s more music on it,” G-Eazy
says. “I grew up as a person. My
perspectives on life and my techniques
have changed.”
The Oakland-based artist has found
hip-hop legitimacy: He toured with Lil
Wayne, opened for Drake and E-40
makes an appearance on new track
“Far Alone.” “He’s a hero,” says G-Eazy.
“Having somebody of that stature on
this record is definitely a big moment.”
IamSu!, Sol and Jay Ant open for
G-Eazy 8 pm Friday, Aug. 29, at
McDonald Theatre; $25 adv., $30 door.
