hiphopmusic – Eazy was 15 years old when he began experimenting

G-Eazy was 15 years old when he began experimenting with making beats and rapping, hitting the refresh button on MySpace over and over to check the plays on his songs, before moving to New Orleans to study music and business on a scholarship at Loyola University. He wanted a career in the industry “so badly” — it’s a dream he’s been chasing for as long as he can remember, and now he’s living it. Although with gargantuan success comes pitfalls of similar proportions. The rapper claims he has all but forfeited his privacy. It “drives him up the wall” to hear people whisper as he walks into a party, and feel strangers frantically Google him on their phones, looking up at his face, then back on their phone. He’s since learned to manage his anxiety, but he mourns his anonymity daily.
