Why is GloRilla so dope?
Gloria Hallelujah Woods was born on July 28, 1999; however, you may know her as GloRilla. GloRilla is an American rapper and songwriter from Memphis, Tennessee. She first gained notoriety with the viral sensation "F.N.F. (Let's Go)" in 2022. This song peaked within the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100 and was even nominated for Best Rap Performance at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards. With the success of this breakout hit, GloRilla signed a recording deal with another Memphis rapper, Yo Gotti. With the help of this record label, Collective Music Group, GloRilla has been unstoppable! Her next single, "Tomorrow", spawned a remixed sequel with American rapper Cardi B, which became her first top-ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Both songs, along with the gold-certified single "Blessed", preceded the release of her debut extended play (EP), Anyways, Life's Great in November, which entered the Billboard 200 at number 11. She won Best New Hip-Hop Artist at the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards, and won in a similar category at the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards. Her 2024 singles, "Yeah Glo!" and "Wanna Be" (with Megan Thee Stallion), both peaked within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 and preceded her debut commercial mixtape, Ehhthang Ehhthang (2024), which peaked at number 18 on the Billboard 200. Her third top-40 single of that year, "TGIF", preceded her debut studio album Glorious (2024), which peaked at number five.
