G-Eazy drops the new double album ‘The Beautiful & Damned’.
After releasing a lot of tracks, G-Eazy’s new project is finally here. G-Eazy releases his new double-disc album “The Beautiful & Damned” that contains 20 records with guest appearances from Zoe Nash, Charlie Puth, ASAP Rocky, Cardi B, Kehlani, E-40, and more.
The album’s tracks, which are divided into “angels” and “demons,” explore both the best and the worst tendencies of the Bay Area native in no clear terms. “The Beautiful & Damned,” the album’s first track, establishes the tone. It’s an aggressive, slick banger produced by G-Eazy himself, and it finds G questioning, “You have no idea what fame has done to me… Have you ever seen a demon wearing a halo?”
“The concept of it is kinda split in half and it’s two CDs, but for all intents and purposes its 20 songs, it’s just a long album,” he explained. “The concept of it is kinda like its about the lifestyle, ‘The Beautiful and Damned.’ Like being a kid, having the dream of doing this, starting from square one, from outside looking in from without having nothing — to chasing this dream, and then all these years down the road of following this yellow brick road trying to get to where you’re going, one day waking up and being like, ‘Did it take me where I wanted to go?’ This fantasy of, like, s*x, drugs, & rock ‘n’ roll is kinda clichéd, but it’s clichéd for a reason. It’s dark.”
“This is the next chapter of Gerald. I think [the fans] know me well enough by now, so this is just the next chapter of my life,” Gerald said about the project. “I’m further exploring my Gemini; you know, the duality and the split personality of who I am. That’s The Beautiful and Damned. There’s multiple layers to the title and the concept of the album, but that’s one of the better messages. I’m exploring that yin and yang of my personality.”
