When Gillum was in the first grade, his mother left his father, an associate professor of art at CSU Fresno. Gillum moved in with his grandparents in Berkeley, California, where he attended Berkeley High School. They later moved to North Oakland, although Gillum continued to attend school in Berkeley. Gillum attended Loyola University New Orleans, where he graduated with a BA in music industry studies in 2011.
Starting out as a record producer, G-Eazy began working on singles while he was still a student at the Loyola University at New Orleans with his producer Christoph Andersson who also was a student there.[4][5] He gained some recognition for being a part of the new hip hop scene back in the East Bay Area, joining with such artists as Lil B, Crohn and The Cataracs.[6][7] He became a member of a local hip hop group called "The Bay Boyz", who had released several songs on their Myspace page.[8]
In 2008, he was performing at a college talent show and was nearly booed off, when Matt Bauerschmidt noticed him and signed him as a client to his new music management company The Revels Group which he started with Matt Davis.
In 2010, G-Eazy was given an opportunity to open for some well-known artists, most notably Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg.
G-Eazy's mixtapes at this period of time were met with limited success. In August 2011, he released The Endless Summer, with an updated version of the 1961 hit song "Runaround Sue", which garnered over four million views via YouTube. The music video was directed by Tyler Yee. The mixtape features guest appearances from Greg Banks, Erika Flowers, and Devon Baldwin.

He co-headlined the Endless Summer tour with American rapper Logic, along with YG and Yo Gotti as supporting acts, from June to August. Before the tour, he announced his mixtape, Endless Summer II. He canceled the tape due to problems with sample clearance. In May 2016, G-Eazy confirmed that he would be featured on Britney Spears' single "Make Me...". The single was released on July 15, 2016, and serves as the lead single from Spears' ninth studio album.

In 2018, G-Eazy headlined a concert for Bay Area fire relief that raised $15 million, pulled out of an H&M sponsorship deal after blowback about a sweatshirt advertisement that some considered to be racist, performed at an Everytown fundraiser on the eve of March For Our Lives, and used his platform to speak out against gun violence.

In 2022, G-Eazy joined the ownership group of the Purpose-driven, professional soccer team Oakland Roots.

Grab the iPhone and hit up fam and
Come through with a gram of that Oaksterdam
I only wanna get twisted everydays Christmas
I'm Dasher and you're Vixen
Fresh kicks, fresh clothes say I look cool
All we ever do is kick it bro fuck school
I only wanna smoke mad weed and fuck bitches
I'm in the back of my classroom super high
You'd probably do the same thing if you were I
I make music get chicks and I'm uber fly
See me on my BMX when I maneuver by
The smoothest guy that you've ever see
She's a fan but she's a two so I let her dream
And I ain't never fucked the ugly girl ever
But I have woken up next to one go figure
A local celebrity to an extent
I've been on tours every single place that we went
I'm shuttin' shit down
I'm more popular than you are In your town
Heard the party up town was the place to go
Three dudes thirty chicks was the ratio
I'm in the backroom chillin' with a vacuum
I mean a bad ho gives intelligent fellatio
Grab the iPhone and hit up fam and
Come through with a gram of that Oaksterdam
I only wanna get twisted everydays Christmas
I'm Dasher and you're Vixen
Fresh kicks, fresh clothes say I look cool
All we ever do is kick it bro fuck school
Fuck aprons and fuck washin' dishes
I only wanna smoke mad weed and fuck bitches
Knock knock it's the flow man
Draggin' my balls and no go hand
I know your life is a bitch with no sand
I can't help it that you livin' like an old man
Gettin through the day as long as I got ten bucks
PBR and a blunt keeps my head up
Eatin' every meal with a red cup
Keep it very real gotta fess up
I got haters, wishin' them the best lucky
While I take a pickin' from the best sluts
Man they say you really gotta catch up
Chickens in a pickle why they pickin' at my bread crumbs
Cut it - what they throwin' a fit for?
The only party in there life is the shit show
When I don't party my idea is to get dough
Music is my money and my favorite key is shift-4
Me and G-Eazy and Mikey, might be at the spot where the hot dykes be
Most likely we goin' be tardy you ain't' in a hurry when your life is a party
Grab the iPhone and hit up fam and
