GloRilla has revealed one of her greatest decisions since making her presence known in the music world. The Memphis, TN-born artist, born Gloria Hallelujah Woods, is known for her 2022 single “F.N.F. (Let’s Go),” produced by Hitkidd, as AFROTECH™ previously reported. The song sold more than 1 million records, reached the top spot on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, and climbed to No. 42 on the Billboard Hot 100, per Revolt. ”It didn’t take the song long to blow up. It blew up in like three days,” GloRilla said during an interview on “The Shop” podcast. “So, I was just traveling the world like two days after I dropped that song ‘cause all the labels were calling me everywhere. So yeah, my life changed, changed right after I dropped that song.” After that, GloRilla set out to prove she would not be a one-hit wonder through the release of “Tomorrow” and its remix with Cardi B; “Yeah Glo!”; “Wanna Be” with Megan Thee Stallion; and most recently “TGIF.” GloRilla credits her success to...
GloRilla hopped on the rap scene in 2022 and hasn’t looked back since. The Memphis rap scene may be getting tons of attention now, but its impact has deep roots that go back to some of the early years of Hip-Hop. From artists like 8Ball & MJG to the Oscar award-winning group Three 6 Mafia, the Memphis rap sound is a staple among fans of the genre. And newer artists like GloRilla ensure the sound remains at Hip-Hop’s forefront. GloRilla Quickly Rises To The Top From the church pews to the Hip-Hop stage, GloRilla’s journey is a testament to resilience. Born Gloria Hallelujah Woods, AFROTECH™ previously reported that the rapper’s musical roots were planted in the church, a common starting point for many Black artists. Raised in a religious family, the Memphis native’s first musical passion was singing. However, when life threw her a curveball in the form of losing her voice, she didn’t give up. Instead, she discovered a new love for rap and released her first mixtape under her original...
GloRilla had to take control of her spending after her first hit single took off. In 2022, the Memphis, TN-born artist, born Gloria Hallelujah Woods, found success with the release of her single “F.N.F. (Let’s Go),” produced by Hitkidd. ”It didn’t take the song long to blow up. It blew up in like three days,” she said during an interview on “The Shop” podcast. “So, I was just traveling the world like two days after I dropped that song ‘cause all the labels were calling me everywhere. So yeah, my life changed, changed right after I dropped that song.” Her newfound fame came with some learning curves, such as keeping her spending habits in check. During the interview, she notes that she shifted her mindset with spending when rap-artist-turned-music-executive Yo Gotti intervened and suggested she hire an accountant. “My first year I blew up, this was before I got an accountant. I was just spending money, and I’m like, ‘Okay, I’m getting it. I’m making it but I’m spending it too,'” she...
For many people, skyrocketing to superstardom is the one sure method to level up financially. And society loves a rags to riches — or at least modest means to well-to-do — story. With many music artists flaunting a lifestyle that most can only dream of, it is not surprising that turning to rapping or singing can fast track a person into a higher tax bracket and ultimately make them wealthy. While it still requires hard work and determination to get there, many rappers are the modern version of the American Dream. Working hard and constantly striving for better, over time (or sometimes in meteoric moments) they become household names with hefty bank accounts to match. One such success story is GloRilla, a female MC that burst on the scene in the late 2010s and shows no signs of slowing down. Find out more about Glorilla’s current net worth and how she earned it. From The Church To Rapping Like a lot of music artists, GloRilla got her start in the church . She was born Gloria...
When in talks about summer song contenders for 2022, GloRilla and Hitkidd’s “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” enters into the conversation. Since the hit’s release in April, life has truly been on go-mode for 22-year-old rapper GloRilla. The way the record took off — going from social media to around the world — led to GloRilla becoming signed to fellow Memphis native Yo Gotti’s CMG imprint only about three months after her single dropped, which has over 33 million views on YouTube (as of this writing). “It’s one of the quickest rises that I’ve seen in my career, because she only dropped in late April and now she has the hottest cultural records in music,” he declared, according to Billboard. “She has a different sound and approach that’s needed in hip-hop right now.” In such a short span of time, she is playing her own role in putting her city — especially its aspiring female rappers — on the map. “It’s sometimes still unreal because this is what I always dreamed about and hoped would be...
