GRAMMY®-nominated rapper GloRilla unleashes her long-awaited debut album GLORIOUS, a star-studded collection from CMG/Interscope Records that showcases her unmatched confidence, razor-sharp flow, and undeniable cultural impact. Featuring collaborations with Megan Thee Stallion, Sexyy Red, Latto, Kirk Franklin, T-Pain, Muni Long, Fridayy, and more, the album spans an impressive range of sounds—hard-hitting rap anthems, soul-infused gospel moments, and fiery club bangers that cement Glo as one of the most versatile artists in hip-hop today. Tracks like “YEAH GLO!,” “TGIF,” and the Megan-assisted “WANNA BE” highlight her ability to command the charts while keeping her raw Memphis authenticity intact.

GLORIOUS arrives with a visual punch as well, including the explosive new video for “WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME” featuring Sexyy Red, directed by the legendary Benny Boom. The clip pays homage to the 2000s rap classic “Wipe Me Down” with a cameo from Boosie, underscoring GloRilla’s ability to bridge eras while keeping her finger firmly on the pulse of what’s next. Following her breakout mixtape Ehhthang Ehhthang—which pulled over half a billion streams in the U.S.—the debut album solidifies her place at the center of rap’s current moment, a testament to her relentless drive and fearless artistry.

Hailing from the North Memphis neighborhood of Frayser, GloRilla skyrocketed to fame with her viral 2022 single “F.N.F. (Let’s Go),” which led to a deal with Yo Gotti’s CMG and Interscope Records. Since then, she’s collaborated with Cardi B on the smash “Tomorrow 2,” earned her first GRAMMY® nomination, collected multiple BET, VMA, and AMA honors, and graced the covers of ELLE, VIBE, GQ Hype, and XXL. Named Billboard’s “Hottest Female Rapper of 2024,” GloRilla has become both a chart-dominating force and a pop culture fixture—performing at the VMAs, presenting at the ESPYs, and sharing stages with Megan Thee Stallion on her sold-out Hot Girl Summer tour. With GLORIOUS, Glo proves that her rise is only beginning.
