Yung Gravy is heading to NOLA on THURSDAY 11.13.25! Yung Gravy Only the best things get better with age — wine, cheddar, 401ks, the list goes on. It turns out Yung Gravy gets better with age too. When you think about it, the name Yung Gravy says a great deal. It's perpetually youthful, and it oozes "sauce." As such, Yung Gravy uses his own special recipe to bring originality and positivity to make his one-of-a-kind impact on the genre. Gravy flexes his passion for soul music and oldies in his production, sampling a wide range of musical styles dating from the 1940s to the present-day. Nostalgic and often-jubilant melodies paired with heavy trap drums form the usual canvas for his signature baritone voice — reminiscent of Barry White. Showcasing effortless flows and endlessly quotable lyrics, Yung Gravy paints something truly unique while clearly having a good time doing so. He first gained widespread attention with songs like Mr. Clean (2017), which sampled The Chordettes' Mr. Sandman, and quickly built a loyal fanbase with his charismatic personality and retro-infused beats. For all of the swagger and style he exhibited upon his arrival, the recipe got even smoother since introducing himself. After streams in the billions, packed venues, and "side missions" with Martha Stewart, he stirred up his most refined dish yet on his 2024 full-length album, Serving Country [Republic Records]. Most importantly, it answered a question that we've all been asking… "Who is Gravy?" he asks: "Shit, who was Gravy before? I'm a Soundcloud rapper from the Midwest, but the gravy got a bit more refined. I took some time to perfect my craft, and now the ingredients are top-shelf, the technique is patented, it's cooked with a little extra love; but it's still the same, smooth Gravy, baby." Gravy gives some insight on his creative process and newfound musical skills: "When I first started rapping, I didn't know keys or notes," he admits. "I had no real background. I finally had the time to learn the musical side of things. Instead of just sampling, we created original compositions and really made something new. There are a lot more layers and depth to the music." In the fall of 2016, Matthew Hauri was a full-time student at University of Wisconsin, Madison. At the time, he introduced the world to "Yung Gravy," a mysterious, faceless figure — only recognizable for his unique musical style and use of vintage ads for album artwork. In the span of six years, Gravy has transformed from Soundcloud stalwart to platinum powerhouse. To date, his accolades include four platinum and five gold singles as well as 10 sold out tours across North America, Europe, and Australia. He has collaborated with his self-proclaimed musical heroes, including Lil Wayne, Chief Keef, Juicy J, T-Pain, and the late Young Dolph. Gravy became the soundtrack, and unofficial second mascot, of the Tampa Bay Lightning, and was given an honorary Stanley Cup Ring. He starred in a worldwide commercial campaign with Martha Stewart, and weeks later performed for the VMAs and Jimmy Kimmel Live. Not to mention, he partnered with Audible, Venmo, Samsung and Jimmy John's for campaigns, to name a few.
