G-Eazy saw success with his albums When It’s Dark Out, and The Beautiful & Damned, thanks to a couple of top ten singles.
But everything has gone quiet for the Bay Area rapper after that, and there’s been talk that he fell off.
In a recent interview with Steve-O’s Wild Ride! podcast, the 35-year-old explained why he’s been absent from the rap scene for so long.

“We had a great run, three albums in a row went platinum,” said G-Eazy, who has a new album coming called Freak Show. “Then my mom died, and COVID, my mom passing, I just finally was like, I need to reset … I needed to finally give myself a break and take some pressure off of the cycle of releasing music, and that comes at a risk.”
“Then I’m reading the comments, ‘Damn, he fell off,'” he continued. “I should not have done this, don’t ever Google yourself. One of the top suggested [questions] was ‘Is G-Eazy still making music?’ I was just like, ‘F*ck y’all! F*ck y’all!'”
Do you think G-Eazy can make a comeback?
