Musical Beginnings and Style

Yung Gravy came to the limelight in 2017 under the aisle of his now platinum singles, such as "Mr. Clean" and "1 Thot 2 Thot Red Thot Blue Thot," both accredited and certified by the RIAA. In his unique enigma of style, he merges new-school trap with nostalgic soul, oldies, and funk running from the 1950s all the way through to the 1980s. Gravy is known for using classic songs in his beats, such as "Mr. Sandman" by The Chordettes in "Mr. Clean."

In 2016, still university-bound, Hauri started to upload music on SoundCloud, after which he decided to quit his other jobs in order to chase his rap career full time. He now has one mixtape, four studio albums, and seven EPs added to his discography.

Collaborations and Accolades

Guest-features on his tracks have led Yung Gravy into collaborative work with the likes of Lil Baby, Juicy J, T-Pain, and Lil Wayne. These collaborations have taught him how to hook up his musical boundaries and make his unique sound far and wide.

In 2021, the Tampa Bay Lightning memorialized Gravy in a Stanley Cup championship ring with the title of his song "Gravy Train" etched in—an act that serves as evidence of his huge cultural sway. Gravy, whose work is threaded with utilitarianism, has enjoyed some success but keeps his Minnesotan roots close, often returning home to perform.

Persona and Style

But Yung Gravy is also notable for his retro style and high energy, frequently just flashing references to his self-proclaimed "MILF" fetish in his lyrics. This has afforded him a healthy, devoted fanbase, most of whom found him through his viral hit "Betty (Get Money)" in 2022.

Minnesotan Roots

Though he's become really famous and successful, Yung Gravy has stuck pretty close to his Minnesota roots. He comes back to the state to perform quite frequently and has done major-name shows at the Minnesota State Fair and for a Vikings game.

What has likely been most impressive about Gravy's rise to national prominence is how he can balance or negotiate his own identity as an artist with his Midwestern sensibility.

Charitable Efforts

Yung Gravy has really made an effort to give back, using his platform to raise awareness for mental health advocacy and animal welfare. He has not been afraid to speak about his own struggles with mental health, working to destigmatize the conversation about wellness with major organizations. Gravy has worked with animal rescue groups before, using his reach with his fans to put a call to action out for donations and awareness.
