By Kayla Murillo

G-Eazy, the chart-topping rapper and producer, is sure to bring flow, hype and energy to campus as this year’s Spring Concert headliner on April 25 (which took place after press time), delivering a high-powered performance that will have students energized all night long. Known for his slick delivery, hype music and signature West Coast swagger, G-Eazy will not disappoint.

Active in the hip-hop scene since the late-2000s, G-Eazy launched his music career while studying at Loyola University in New Orleans, releasing mixtapes and building a loyal fanbase through grassroots hustle. Since then, he’s made a name for himself, rising to fame with his major-label debut “These Things Happen” (2014), which peaked at number three on the Billboard 200. His 2015 smash hit “Me, Myself & I” with Bebe Rexha became a defining moment in his career, breaking into the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10.

G-Eazy’s discography reflects his growth as an artist, from the introspective “When It’s Dark Out” (2015), featuring collaborations with Chris Brown and Tory Lanez, to the emotionally layered double album “The Beautiful & Damned” (2017), inspired in part by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel of the same name and featuring Halsey on the fan-favorite “Him & I.” His latest album, “Freak Show” (2024), pushes his style even further, with standout features from Coi Leray and French Montana.

Adelphi students will have the opportunity to sing along passionately to iconic tracks like “Lady Killers II,” “Tumblr Girls,” and “Me, Myself & I.” His setlist is likely to blend nostalgic favorites with newer releases, which will keep the crowd on their feet from the first beat to the final song. The concert comesis part of G-Eazy’s ongoing tour across the United States with stops at international venues, making his appearance on campus all the more special.

More than just a concert, this year’s Spring Concert will be a night of celebration: of music, community, and the end of the spring semester after months of hard work. For many Panthers, it is the perfect way to feel some joy as they prepare to take finals and wrap up the year.
