You’ve never heard a rapper liken himself to Martha Stewart, boast about partying with his mother, or discuss the latest day trading strategies. Then again, the game has never seen anyone quite like Yung Gravy.
Shades on, gold chains dangling, pearly whites shining, and outfit popping, the Minnesota-born MC has unassumingly bloomed into a phenomenon with over 1 billion streams, platinum plaques, sold out tours, and no shortage of style, substance, and swagger.
His blend of modern trap music with themes inspired by the soul and oldies movements of the 1950s and 1960s, as well as 1970s and 1980s soul and funk music has been described as humorous, satirical, and groovy, drawing comparisons to hip-hop legends such as OutKast and Three 6 Mafia and scoring a string of anthems including "Mr. Clean", "1 Thot 2 Thot Red Thot Blue Thot", "Magic", and "Oops!"
