Matthew Raymond Hauri (born March 19, 1996),[2] better known as Yung Gravy, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, producer, and entrepreneur from Minnesota. He first gained recognition in 2017,[3] when his songs “Mr. Clean” and “1 Thot 2 Thot Red Thot Blue Thot” gained traction on SoundCloud, the former of which is now RIAA certified Platinum and the latter of which is now RIAA certified Gold.[4] Since 2017, Yung Gravy has completed 7 international tours and has released one mixtape, two albums, and four EPs.[5][6][7][8] Yung Gravy is often associated with fellow artists bbno$, Chief Keef, and Lil Baby as well as producers Y2K, Jason Rich, and Engelwood.[8][9][10][6][11]

Early Life

Matthew Hauri was born in Rochester, Minnesota.[2] He attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin, and earned his degree in marketing in December 2017.[5][12] While attending college, he began rapping for fun and started his career on SoundCloud after being inspired by the rise of rappers Lil Yachty and Lil Peep.[13] In 2016, he quit his job and dedicated himself to making music, spending months self-recording songs.[2]

Style

Yung Gravy's musical style is a blend of modern trap music with themes inspired by the soul and oldies movements of the 1950s and 1960s[14][15] as well as 1970s and 1980s soul and funk music.[13][16] For example, his song “Gravy Train” samples Maxine Nightingale’s 1976 song “Right Back Where We Started From”,[17] and his breakout hit "Mr. Clean" samples the popular 1954 song "Mr. Sandman" by The Chordettes.[16]

His musical style has been described as humorous, satirical, and groovy.[7][8][9][15][18] Yung Gravy has cited musicians from multiple genres as inspirations. They include hip-hop acts such as OutKast and Three 6 Mafia and soul acts ranging from Smokey Robinson to The Blackbyrds.[19][20]
