GloRilla, the female leader of the current Memphis hip-hop renaissance, performed at the Beale Street Music Festival to a loud and enthusiastic crowd, reflecting on her progression in the male-dominated rap game.
In the 2022 Beale Street Music Festival, GloRilla was an unknown underground rapper with only a few mixtapes and EPs. However, after releasing her first major single, “F.N.F. (Let’s Go),” the 23-year-old rose to stardom and became a hometown hero. She received a Grammy nomination, won a BET award, signed with Yo Gotti’s CMG label, and achieved a top 10 pop hit and a couple of gold singles in just 12 months. GloRilla’s performance at the festival showcased her triumphant ascent, following in the footsteps of other successful Bluff City hip-hop artists like Moneybagg Yo, who performed after his chart-topping hit “A Gangsta’s Pain.”
