Waking up from the worst hangover and swearing you’ll never drink again, but ultimately falling back into the same cycle.” The artist admitted he ‘flirted’ with losing it all due to his behav- iour. It took him the best part of six years living out Hollywood’s best-known cliché (sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll) to realise he was facilitating in his demise. He was drinking too much, drinking be- fore shows to get in the zone and after his shows to celebrate. He found he was becoming dependent on the substances surrounding him and eventually could no longer recognise ‘Gerald’ in G-Eazy. “But at the same time, there’s a part of my brain that won’t ever let me get there because of how hard I’ve worked to get to this point.” He revealed he received a lesson from Puff Daddy. “He was talking to me one night and said that the best music is always the most vulnerable. Because it’s the most real, the most human, the most raw, and for that reason, the listener connects with it the deepest because it hits them here,” he added, tapping his chest firmly. From his latest album, These Things Happen Too, G-Eazy recently released a new track, ‘A Little More’, featuring Kiana Ledé, which currently only has an audio-video. “The new album, primarily, is about coming home - making everything full circle, encapsulating the length of the journey,” he told Wonderland magazine. “It can be a bumpy road, but, ultimately, I didn’t want to lose myself along the way.” https://g-eazy.com
