Skateboarder-turned-rapper GNAR kickflipped his way into the music industry with his endlessly energetic songs.
• GNAR took up skateboarding when he was 13, after his older half-brother stole a board from a neighborhood kid. He created his own line of skating clothes at 18. • He began freestyling as a teen and was inspired by a friend named Germ to take it seriously. • His second-ever song, 2017’s “Ride with the Fye,” went viral and amassed millions of streams. • The following year, he signed with Capitol Records and released his debut mixtape, GNAR Lif3. • In 2019, he released his sophomore project, Fire Hazard, featuring YBN Nahmir, Lil Yachty, and more.
