Matthew Raymond Hauri (born March 19, 1996),[2] known professionally as Yung Gravy, is an American rapper, 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, both of which are now RIAA certified Platinum.[4] Since 2017, Yung Gravy has completed seven international tours and has released one mixtape, three albums, and seven EPs.[5][6][7][8] Yung Gravy is often associated with fellow artists bbno$ and Chief Keef, as well as producer Y2K.[8][9][10][6][11]

Early life[]

Matthew Hauri was born in Rochester, Minnesota.[2] Hauri graduated from Mayo High School in 2014.[12] He attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin, and earned his degree in marketing in December 2017.[5][13] 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.[14] 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,[15][16] as well as 1970s and 1980s soul and funk music.[14][17] For example, his song "Gravy Train" samples Maxine Nightingale's the 1976 song "Right Back Where We Started From",[18] and his breakout hit "Mr. Clean" samples the popular 1954 song "Mr. Sandman" by The Chordettes.[17]

His musical style has been described as humorous, satirical, and groovy.[19][7][8][9][16][20] 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.[21][22]
