G-Eazy Divulges On Why He Is “Freak Show” On 7th Studio Abum

Gerald Earl Gillum, popularly known as G-Eazy, has come through with Freak Show, ending a three-year album hiatus. The 35-year-old Oakland-based rapper and singer, like past projects, is bringing a mixture of genres to the table. You will hear pop-punk, pop rap, emo, some rock, and everything in between, which is pretty impressive given there are just 12 songs to be had. Leading up to this seventh studio effort, G-Eazy did share quite a bit of the tracklist before this weekend. To be exact, a third of the LP was released over the last three months.

It started with the fan-maligned “Femme Fatale”, a sex-positive and hedonistic anthem featuring Coi Leray and Kaliii. That would be followed up by “Lady Killers III”, continuing the series after the second dropped in March. Then, G-Eazy delivered his most personal track out of the crop with “Love You Forever”, which is about his deceased mother who passed back in 2021. Finally, “Anxiety”, which is the now the closing track to Freak Show, sees him wrestle with his inner voice. Overall, G-Eazy troubled but unapologetic about what it took to get to this point. In fact, he spoke with USA Today, according to People, about that very overarching message. “It’s an album about self-acceptance. It is honest. It’s revealing of how I got here, who I’ve been, the stories of the come-up and some of the hardships and some of the missteps and some of the flaws along the way”.
