From the Bay to the Universe. Sums up both G-Eazy's story and mission. After successfully putting out a platinum album, multi-platinum singles, amassing over a billion streams and traveling the

world, G wanted to finish off this big year where he started...the Bay Area. Last week G-Eazy took over downtown Oakland and with the help of the Pallette Creative Agency curated one of the most extensive pop-up shop's any rapper has ever put on for their community and fans. The week-long lifestyle-focused pop up held in celebration of his sold-out homecoming show at Oracle Arena incorporated activations including the Bay Area native's friends as well as elements of his personal style and taste under one roof called Gerald's.

Daily and nightly events at Gerald's highlighted local Bay Area heroes from OG's to the new guard like Too $hort's "Pimp Tapes" Listening Parties with up and comers Hyphy Hoochies, the 11th Annual Mistah F.A.B. Toy Drive, Caleborate and Nef the Pharaoh Signings, and a Speakeazy featuring P-Lo, Kool John, Daghe Digital, Rexx Life Raj, Larry June, Marty Grimes.

The pop up included a barber shop, coffee shop, custom chain stitch embroidery by LA's own ChainGang, printed zine of all film photography by Grady Brannan, all-new G-Eazy 'Ladykillers' merch collection pieces and exclusive brand collaborations with Levi's, New Era, and Majestic.

Check out images of the pop up and more information on the collabs below.

Levi's and G-Eazy are both born and bred in California, rooted in quality and style. The Made In California jacket was originally birthed on stage at Coachella, but since has reached all corners of the world. The Endless Summer denim jacket was the next piece in the series, representing the timeless, classic aesthetics of Levi's and G. We also partnered with the ChainGang on both pieces to create custom pieces for both G and his fans, taking the ideals of individuality and personal style to another level.

The Oakland A's x G-Eazy collaboration unofficially started many years ago, with G growing up going to the coliseum for games. Officially, the partnership with the A's formed in 2016 when G threw out a ceremonial first pitch. From there, we focused on creating product with two of the MLBs key partners, New Era and Majestic, the official brands for on field hats and jerseys, The initial Bay To The Universe collaboration will help continue to bring the Bay Area to the masses, and look out for more special projects with the A's and MLB in 2017.

Born out of Oakland -- Red Bay provides beautiful coffee to the people. In addition to the beans they roast, they also provide opportunities for at risk youth within the community. Given Young Gerald's love for beautiful coffee and the Oakland community, a natural partnership was formed, and Red Bay roasted a custom blend of beans, focusing on a rich dark roast that is perfect for G's palette.
