Who Is Yung Gravy (Rapper)? His Real Name, Age, Net Worth, Is He Dead?

Who is Yung Gravy? – Bio, Real Name, Age

Many artists and rappers would rather sing or write songs that appeal more to their target audience, and fans like to point out shortcomings in society, which is a separate issue, but for rapper Yung Gravy, singing about what he enjoys, about food and other rather arbitrary topics is a pleasure. Since he likes to cook and likes to barbecue, he is so good at making clever allusions to food, and this might also be an indication of why he chose his professional nickname as such.

Yung Gravy is one of the pseudonyms the Minnesota-born rapper and songwriter uses. His other nicknames include Lil Steamer, Mr. Butter, Mr. Clean, and Young Steve Harvey. He was born on March 19, 1996, in Rochester, Minnesota. Fans and netizens may know him as Yung Gravy, but for his family and close friends, his birth name Matthew “Matt” Hauri fits them well.

Matt attended the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where he earned a degree in marketing in December 2017. During his studies, he started rapping and did it just for fun with friends, as well as at parties and in other social functions, albeit in a reserved way. He got the inspiration for his musical style from the soul and oldies movements of the 50s and 60s and mixed his music with modern rap. However, he took the whole business of songwriting and writing seriously, having followed the rise of other rappers like Lil Yachty and Ugly God in his youth.

Career

Yung Gravy began to record songs for himself and at first, secretly did not want to brand himself as a needy self-promoter. After some time he felt the need to quit his job as a startup artist, which he did and concentrated entirely on his flourishing music career. In 2016 he uploaded his first song Karen and in the same year, he started to publish his songs on SoundCloud, where he had found a cheap audience. Although he has a large fan base on the song-sharing website, he remained unknown on the internet until his music video landed in 2017.

His EP Mr. Clean was released later in 2017 and continued in October 2017 with a music video and a tour at the end of the year. Similar to the success the EP received, the video did no less, reaching millions of viewers in a few months. He is under contract with Republic Records and has released four eps, including Mr. Clean and a mixtape, Thanksgiving Eve, which was released on December 23, 2016. The other EPs are Yung Gravity (2017), Baby Gravy (2017), and Snow Cougar (2018). He has done a number of completely sold-out tours and has had the opportunity to perform in several shows such as SXSW in Austin, Texas.

Matt’s songs usually find a middle-aged audience, although they are also well received by people of all ages. His music has been described by critics as light-hearted, humorous, and funny, and his lyrics usually deal with random topics such as food, holiday themes, flexes, often mentioning some well-known singers and sportsmen like George Michael, Scottie Pippen, Steve Harvey. His music may not make a statement, but he certainly knows how to break a rib or two with it.
