Up Next: GloRilla

GloRilla’s rise from the church pews of Memphis, Tennessee, to rap stardom has been rapid. “I grew up in the church. I got my sound from singing in the choir,” GloRilla tells Apple Music. “This feels like home. It reminds me of my upbringing, part of how I grew up and what made me.” The 23-year-old MC found success when her breakout hit “F.N.F (Let’s Go)” went viral and secured her a record deal with hometown hero Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group label. After that, the rest was history. The success of “F.N.F” led Glo to snag her first Grammy nomination. As her friend Teezy Lashae told Apple Music in an exclusive film, “Just be real, her name is Gloria Hallelujah, don’t y’all think this shit is destined for her?” In an interview with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden, Glo discusses how her collab with Lil Durk for “Ex’s (Phatnall Remix)” came to be, why Chicago rapper Chief Keef inspires her, and how it feels to be a Grammy-nominated artist so early in her career. Check out the film and interview and listen to the bonus edition of GloRilla's EP Anyways, Life’s Great…, along with selections from the rest of the artists in the Up Next series.
