Video summary

Gravon, also known as GD, joins the show to discuss her rapid rise in the music industry following a recent record label deal signed just a few months ago. She recounts her origins in Chicago, explaining that she was introduced to rap by her brother rather than a cousin who eventually went to prison, and notes how her tomboy upbringing with brothers shaped her identity despite having an inherent feminine side. Gravon clarifies that while she enjoys makeup like lashes and eyebrows for aesthetic purposes, she does not incorporate heavy femininity into her drill music videos because she wants to maintain a specific image that aligns with the genre's raw nature. A significant portion of the conversation revolves around her stance on diss tracks and industry feuds, particularly regarding Aspen Diss. Gravon defends her decision to release a song targeting Aspen after seeing a controversial video from Jada, asserting that she does not seek out beef but reacts when pushed. She emphasizes that Chicago drill culture is known for heavy dissing and states that she will continue to rap about real experiences rather than conforming to trends about material wealth or explicit content if it doesn't fit her style. Additionally, she addresses rumors about dating fellow rapper Fully Chop, firmly stating she would not date a rapper due to the lifestyle risks and age gap concerns, preferring instead to support partners behind the scenes without them appearing in her music videos. Looking toward the future, Gravon announces the upcoming release of her new project titled "Princess Drill," scheduled for next month during the summer season. The EP features fifteen songs and includes collaborations with artists like Fat Mac from Atlanta, as well as female rappers such as Cashmir and Fendy, though she notes that most of her collaborators are male. She also reveals plans to relocate from Chicago to Atlanta soon, citing the city's current growth and the presence of many successful artists there. Gravon concludes by offering advice to other female artists in the industry, urging them to go all the way without stopping and to be comfortable working independently if necessary, while maintaining confidence in their unique sound and perspective.

But I don't care cuz if they don't want to work with me, I'mma work with somebody else. I I don't really be giving no [ __ ] if people don't want to work with me or not. Like >> Mhm. >> I don't be in TW with them on no [ __ ] like that. >> Do you feel like the GD stuff is also why you black or you feel like it's just the aspen? >> No, I don't feel like it's cuz um GD on no [ __ ] like that [ __ ] They be showing love to me more. >> But I don't like a lot of GD artists didn't really get that far on some music [ __ ] That's why I >> Yeah, you ain't lying. But I don't even know another girl female GD rapper. >> I don't either. She definitely putting on right now. >> No, bro. That's what I'm saying. >> So that's heavy shoes to fill. So, do you feel like a lot of pressure is on you right now? >> I don't feel like no pressure on me for real because like I'm already at peace with this [ __ ] Like I don't know. I already have my little 3 month, four month run. So, it's like I know a little more that I didn't know when I first started rapping. So, >> so you feel like it's no pressure. You you on it? >> Yeah, I'm on it for sure. >> On top of it. I feel like again, I don't really, like you said, I don't know a lot of other female GD rappers. >> Okay. >> So, you got to set the bar. >> Okay. For real. >> You got to keep your foot on X. We got to keep it pushing. That's why I say it's kind of a lot of pressure because there ain't no other females. >> You ain't lying though. >> So, what's the advice to like other female artists that's trying to like get in this [ __ ] >> My advice to another female artist is [ __ ] go all the way, bro. Once you go, don't stop, G. Cuz soon as you stop and you give the next person another chance to take your spot, folk. That's what I feel like. So, when you go, be both feet in that [ __ ] and take it all the way. And if you don't have no support, it's okay to do [ __ ] by yourself. Like if you ain't got people to pull up to your music videos, rock out by yourself. Everybody can't come to the top anyway, folk. So >> you went through that like people wasn't trying to come to your video. >> Hell yeah. [ __ ] them up. I AIN'T GOING TO LIE. CUZ WHEN I get bigger, y'all going to be trying to come kick it. And I'm not asking y'all to be in my videos. Y'all know who I'm talking about. [ __ ] [ __ ] Oh, bro. >> But you be hella deep though. >> Yeah, I do be deep. But the main people that I be going there don't be there sometimes f. So I just had to accept that [ __ ] and let it be be what it is. >> Do you feel like you lost a lot of friendships? >> No, I feel like you see who your real friends are. >> E that's crazy. Before the rap, I had a very small like circle anyways. So it's it was really nobody to cut off for real. >> So it's kind of the same people that you started with. >> It's the same people. >> Okay. You're not open to making new friends though? >> No, for real. But like I feel like if if they cool as hell, I'll make a new friend or some [ __ ] like that. But I really just be out here looking for new friends nowadays. It's >> risky. It's weird out here. >> No, bro. >> [ __ ] be weird. But when you was in New York, I seen you link with Baby G and them. >> Yeah. Shout out to Best Man. That's my best friend. >> That's your best friend? >> Mhm. >> Oh [ __ ] Okay. >> Hell yeah. >> Yeah. So they're they're like from New York, too. But people be trying to say like they're quote unquote black bold too >> cuz he GD. >> Yeah. >> I don't know. I think shorty decent [ __ ] I don't really get into can't rap. >> But I don't know. >> Yeah. I don't know either. I feel like it's like, you know, it's your zone. It's like depending on how you feel. >> I feel like you can only get black ball if you like just don't stay on top of your music. You just let the people forget about you or some [ __ ] like that. Like you give a [ __ ] a reason to forget about you for sure. >> All right. So when I say black bald, I mean like they don't like get invited out or like might not get a lot of features or >> oh >> might have to like only work with this character. >> But I feel like that's different though because me being a female, a lot of people a lot of people really don't tell me no when I want to do music. Being a [ __ ] and being GD, you going to have people that's not going to want to work with you off the simple fact cuz you was a male. >> Yeah. >> And you know how [ __ ] be. So yeah, he probably don't be black ball because of that though. I might say, yeah, it's New York is like hit or miss. Like >> that's how it be in the right though. It be I feel like it be like the everywhere. It's a hit or miss. >> Yeah. I feel like you just got to know the right people. You got to put go in the right spaces and really like pop your [ __ ] >> No belt. >> Pop your [ __ ] >> So what's next for you? What you got coming up? >> I got my EP coming out, man.
