We caught up with Young Gerald aka G-Eazy shortly before he unleashed a trifecta of new music on his Soundcloud. The rapper brought us up to speed on what he's been up to lately, which apparently includes hitting up a steakhouse with Hov.
"Man, I met Jay Z and was hella star struck. I had dinner with him, and it was exactly what you'd think. He's him, literally. We're at a steakhouse in Midtown eating lobster, we're talking about gangsta movies, we're talking about basketball, and he's telling a story about Suge Knight. Literally, like, is this real right now?" G-Eazy says of the one-on-one with Jay.
Apart from having dinners with one of the greatest, G-Eazy has been studio-obsessed. Obviously, since, whenever he drops something, it tends to be a three-for-one deal. "We're just sitting on so much music, and it's like, while people have to wait for the album we wanna give them something. I just like dropping three songs at a time," he says of the move.
The Bay Area native also expands on one those recent releases, "Running," where he raps about spending time in New Orleans. He tells us more about that time of his life in the video above. Take a look.
