Viral Rapper Yung Gravy Announces Back in Business Tour with Two Montana Shows
Minnesota-based, viral rapper Yung Gravy will bring his Back in Business Tour to Montana for two shows in 2021: the first at the Wilma in Missoula on November 4th and the second at the ELM in Bozeman on Saturday, November 6th.
At just 25 years old, the young (pun intended) rapper has had a meteoric rise since his start just five years ago. Born Matthew Raymond Hauri, Yung Gravy started rapping for fun while in college at UW-Madison, putting tracks on Soundcloud and independently releasing songs like “Mr. Clean” and “1 Thot 2 Thot Red Thot Blue Thot,” which are both Platinum certified. His full-length 2019 debut, Sensational, launched into the Top 5 of the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart and has surpassed a billion streams. His raunchy, satirical, and exaggerative tracks have been spread across TikTok, further cementing his place within pop culture.

About Yung Gravy
Go ahead and call him “The People’s Champ…”The people quite literally demanded his rise by galvanizing his jump from underground stalwart into a mainstream force.23-year-old MC, Minnesotan disruptor, and MILF connoisseur Yung Gravy quietly emerged as a gold-certified phenomenon by way of hilarious ad-libs and airtight rhymes. Within a year, his 2018 Snow Cougar EP yielded a pair of gold-selling bangers — “Mr. Clean” and “1 Thot 2 Thot Red Thot Blue Thot” — jumping from early SoundCloud success to the hottest playlists on Spotify such as New Music Friday and Pop Rising, to name a few. In its wake, he sold out three tours in North America, two tours in Europe, and his run of Australia and New Zealand. This hot streak continued as his world tour, Experience The Sensation, Part 2,” also sold out.During 2019, his full-length debut Sensational [Republic Records], crashed the Top 5 of the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart and put up 450 million-plus streams across bangers a la “Alley Oop” [feat. Lil Baby” and “Gravy Train,” which gave a 808 facelift to Maxine Nightingale’s “Right Back Where We Belong.”Gravy just does Gravy though…“I really felt like there was something missing,” he explains. “I wasn’t hearing what I wanted to hear, so I stepped up to the plate and actually started doing it myself.”
Rewinding to the beginning, he hit his stride in 2016. Inspired by everyone from OutKast, Nate Dogg, Curren$y, and Action Bronson to Patrice Rushen and The Blackbyrds, Gravy took to SoundCloud to begin releasing music. The first song he uploaded, “Karen”, quickly garnished new fans and stirred a palpable buzz online. His first independent EP, Mr. Clean, went viral on the strength of “Continental Breakfast” on SoundCloud. Sandwiching a sample of The Chordettes’ “Mr. Sandman” between racy and raw rhymes, the title track “Mr. Clean” popped off and paved the way towards literal gold as well Thanksgiving’s Eve, Yung Gravity EP, and Baby Gravy EP. Soon, he reached #1 on Indify and had labels knocking at his door. Gravy kicked off 2018 with the sizzling single “1 Thot 2 Thot Red Thot Blue Thot.” Flipping the Dr. Seuss limerick upside down, the hook proves immediately infectious.
