Album Review: G-Eazy - These Things Happen

Bailey Lions

G-Eazy keeps it tight the whole way through and the album maintains its relaxed meditation on fame, girls and success to the very end.

Far away from the bombastic, larger than life hip hop found on commercial radio lies the clean, elegant beats of California rapper G-Eazy. Now onto his third full-length with These Things Happen, the 25-year-old channels effortless cool into stripped-back soundscapes with sharpened edges. Tracks Opportunity Cost and Almost Famous demonstrate the independent rapper's talent for intricate flow, ramping between laidback and lightning-quick verses with ease. G-Eazy keeps it tight the whole way through and the album maintains its relaxed meditation on fame, girls and success to the very end.
