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 2022, G-Eazy joined the ownership group of the Purpose-driven, professional soccer team Oakland Roots.
Stay High
G-Eazy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A bad bitch with me and
We both getting trippy
Man I'm sippin on brown
'till I might drown
I'm high and I'm never comin 'down
Stay high all day stay high all day
Fuck around and stay high all day
Say you love me, is that true?
Told her if it's that real get a tattoo
Maybe this bitch is who I come back to
Maybe this beat is too chill to rap to
Riding with Bonita smoking reefer
She ain't heard of you I
Ain't heard of you neither
Blowin' up gettin money and they hate it
No job so I'm chillin' gettin faded
Think I'm 'bout to go pick
Up a zippy I'm just
Ridin through the city, rollin' up sticky
A bad bitch with me and
We both getting trippy
Man I'm sippin on brown
'till I might drown
I'm high and I'm never comin 'down
Stay high all day stay high all day
Fuck around and stay high all day
Stay high all day
And now I'm floatin' over my city
Rollin' up sticky got a gypsy with me and
We both gettin' trippy (trippy mane)
Bouta face a whole bot and
Then refill the roach quickly
Seal the zag with keef dust
And call that thing pixie
G got me feeling straight up, out the 50's
You would think our life is made up
It's so damn nifty
And I'm lookin' extra spiffy
Tryin' to get lifty
Step up in the room they giddy throw
It back and then we dippy
Been in love with weed since the
First time I smelled it
Wanted it for free but karma
Wouldn't let me sell it
Got my first and only job just
So I could afford it
But that didn't fit the schedule
Of skateboardin' and recordin'
Put my hours in now I got a job tourin'
Where we get free oz's when
The land is foreign (Thank you for that)
It's safe to say that we live that life
All these people keep sayin'
"Man it must be nice" and I'm just
Ridin through the city, rollin' up sticky
A bad bitch with me and
We both getting trippy
Man I'm sippin on brown
'till I might drown
I'm high and I'm never comin 'down
Stay high all day stay high all day
Fuck around and stay high all day
Stay high all day
The lyrics in G-Eazy's song "Stay High" describe a past relationship, detailing memories of smoking together and being intimate. The lyrics express feelings of nostalgia and regret, with the singer reflecting on the good times they shared and questioning what went wrong. The song captures the bittersweet emotions of a relationship that has ended but left a lasting impact on both people.
The lyrics are full of references to drug use, with the singer likening their love interest to a drug and describing their experiences of smoking cannabis together. This portrays the couple's carefree and hedonistic lifestyle, emphasizing their desire to escape reality and remain in a state of blissful intoxication.
The song's chorus repeats the phrase "Stay high" multiple times, which can be interpreted as a cry for the couple's fleeting moments of happiness to last or even a plea to continue the same reckless behavior that brought them together. Overall, "Stay High" is a melancholic song that attempts to reconcile with a past relationship's memory while acknowledging that it is "all in the past."
