Multiplatinum hip-hop phenomenon Yung Gravy proudly presents his highly anticipated new album, Marvelous, via Republic Records. Listen to Marvelous—HERE.
To celebrate the release of the record, he just uncovered the music video for the new single “Dancing In The Rain.” Over a classic old school sample, his deep baritone bellows as he promises, “Gravy bring the ruckus to the local Benihana.” The accompanying visual opens with a shot of a classic midcentury modern house with a for sale sign by “Lionel Breadly – Let’s Get This Bread.” A prospective couple tours the house only for the wife to fall for Gravy, but of course!
Marvelous ushers in Gravy’s biggest, boldest, and best era to date. He reteams with closest friend and frequent collaborator bbno$ on “Isn’t It Just Marvelous,” Ishdarr on “Sugar Mama,” and TrippyThaKid on “Steppin On The Beat.”
Last month, he paved the way for Marvelous with “C’est La Vie” [feat. bbno$ & Rich Brian]. It has already reeled over 12 million Spotify streams and 26 million YouTube views. UPROXX noted, “The synth-and-drum-infusedanthem features the three embracing a debaucherous lifestyle and sharing stories about their nights out,” and HotNewHipHop applauded the “cheerful upbeat tempo accompanied by Yung Gravy’s skillful puns.”
He continues to capitalize on the runaway success of the album’s lead single “Betty (Get Money).” It has already gone Gold in the United States and Canada in addition to generating over 200 million global streams, including 24 million YouTube views on the music video. Plus, it notably broke out as his first Top 10 on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs Chart and vaulted into the Top 30 of the Hot 100—another first. Dominating airwaves, it cracked the Top 20 at Rhythmic Airplay and Pop Airplay. Billboard noted “Betty (Get Money)” “marks new highs for Yung Gravy.” Additionally, he delivered a showstopping performance of this anthem at MTV VMA pre-show. Watch it HERE. He also took the stage at Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! with “Betty (Get Money).”
“Betty (Get Money)” pops off as a generation-bridging banger of the highest order produced by Dillon Francis, Dwilly, and Popnick. On the track, Gravy reignites the classic chorus of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” (and its iconic synths).
It’s Yung Gravy’s year, and nothing could be more Marvelous…
This year alone, Gravy has only accelerated his meteoric rise. He co-headlined a massive tour with Dillon Francis and unleashed the Cake & Cognac EP. Additionally, he played to packed arenas with the legendary Limp Bizkit. He has also churned out a series of RIAA certified platinum and gold bangers thus far. These include the platinum “Mr. Clean,” platinum “1 Thot 2 Thot Red Thot Blue Thot,” gold “oops!!!,” gold “Magic”, gold “Whip A Tesla” and “Welcome to Chilis” with bbno$.

ABOUT YUNG GRAVY:
Only the best things get better with age—wine, whisky, cheddar, beef, 401ks, and the list goes on. Yung Gravy gets better with age too. When you think about it, the name Yung Gravy itself says a great deal. It’s perpetually youthful, and it oozes “sauce.” As such, Yung Gravy blends “cool” and “fun” by using his own recipe and bringing originality and positivity to a genre that is overflowing with the opposite. In the fall of 2016, Matthew Hauri was a full-time student at University of Wisconsin, Madison. At the time, he introduced the world to “Yung Gravy,” a mysterious, faceless figure—only recognizable for his unique musical style and use of vintage ads for album artwork. In the span of six short years, Gravy has transformed from Soundcloud stalwart to platinum powerhouse. To date, his accolades include two platinum and four gold singles as well as nearly 10 sold out tours of North America, Europe, and Australia. He has collaborated with his self-proclaimed musical heroes, including Lil Baby, Lil Wayne, Chief Keef, Juicy J, T-Pain, and the late Young Dolph. He was given an honorary Stanley Cup ring from the Tampa Bay Lightning and starred in a worldwide commercial campaign with Martha Stewart. For all of the swagger and style he exhibited upon his arrival, he somehow got even smoother since introducing himself back in 2016. After streams in the billions, packed venues, and “side missions” with Martha Stewart, he stirs up his tastiest sauce yet on his 2022 third full-length opus, Marvelous [Republic Records] introduced by the chart-topping gold-certified single “Betty.”
