Yung Gravy

Yung Gravy, born Matthew Hauri in Rochester, Minnesota, is an American rapper known for a playful, retro-tinged style built on samples of soul, funk and pop records from decades past. He built his early online following anonymously before revealing his face with the 2017 breakout track «Mr. Clean», which paired his laid-back, tongue-in-cheek delivery with a sample of a Sam Cooke-style vintage groove. His music leans heavily on humor, food references, and self-aware bravado rather than the more serious lyrical themes typical of much hip-hop.

His aesthetic is defined by pinup-style album art, exaggerated old-school charm, and a persona that plays with mid-century Americana imagery while delivering distinctly modern trap-adjacent rap. He frequently name-drops celebrities and athletes in his lyrics as comedic flexes, and has cultivated a catalog full of novelty hits including «Betty (Get Money)» and «Whip a Tesla».

Yung Gravy has closely collaborated with Canadian rapper bbno$ and worked regularly with producers including Jason Rich and the duo behind many of his sample-based beats, helping define his signature blend of vintage sound and contemporary rap swagger. His willingness to lean fully into comedy and nostalgia has made him a distinctive figure in the more meme-friendly corner of mainstream rap.
