Gravon Speaks On Industry GDs, Aspen Diss, Mello Buckzz & Her Feminine Era | Talk Of The Town
Watch on YouTubeVideo 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.

drill, bro. For real. Like, stick to
your category of music, bro. Cuz we
don't come over there talking about
y'all music. You got to realize like the
way that people be making their songs,
that's really how they be looking at
life and [ __ ] Like, they be really
talking about what be going on. So when

experiences or should they convince?

an acquired taste? Like you have to like
[ __ ] with it to really understand what's
going on?

[ __ ] I feel like you don't got to know
what's going on with Geom music for you
to like it because a lot of them people
don't know what the [ __ ] them lyrics be
meaning and they just like the song. So
I feel like
>> Yeah. But then it gets to a point where
like everybody was like
>> smoking this person that person then it
gets very heavy. So it's like
>> you kind of got to know what's going on.
>> You ain't lying though. I feel like it
depend on the song.

of like what's going on? Do you feel
like you kind of black ballalled in a
sense? I don't feel like I'm black ball,
but I feel like [ __ ] whoever [ __ ] with
me, whoever [ __ ] with me.
>> Okay,
>> that's what I feel like.
>> Do you feel like you missed out on c
certain opportunities because you don't
[ __ ] with a lot of people?
>> Yeah, I feel like I missed on missed out
on some couple opportunities off the
simple fact that who I'm making songs
about. 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 [ __ ]
