In this interview on ‘The Knockturnal’, Yung Gravy discusses his collaboration with Screwball Peanut Butter Whiskey, which combines hip-hop, savory flavors, and liquor, perfect for the Thanksgiving season. He mentions his growing connection with country music, citing his recent country album and Nashville experiences as influences. When asked about Thanksgiving traditions, he shares that he makes fondue, a recipe passed down from his Swiss father, for his friends who don’t have family around.
He reflects on his journey in music and branding, explaining that if not for his success in music, he would have pursued branding for other companies. He talks about the surprise of working with Lil Wayne on a remix and the impact of collaborations with artists like Shania Twain and Zack Brown.
As his “Grits and Gravy” tour comes to a close, he expresses how fulfilling it was to tour with a band, stepping outside his usual rap performance style. The final show in Minnesota at the Armory, where he has performed before, is particularly special. He shares the excitement of bringing a festival to Minnesota with artists like Waka Flocka and Baby NoMoney, highlighting the personal significance of the venue.
When asked about his dream venue, he says the Armory is a top choice, reflecting on his memorable performances there. Finally, he describes his Thanksgiving collaboration in three words: “Saucy,” “Special,” and “Gonna Get.” He concludes with hints about his upcoming projects.
