Foreign Glizzy is a rapper whose music is rising up to the forefront of California’s West Coast hip hop scene. His upbeat, unique style and flashy lifestyle square right up to the music industry’s insatiable desire for fresh new talented artists. Born Gary Williams Jr. in San Francisco, California, and raised in Vallejo, CA, Glizzy is a Bay Area native, and he supports his community 100%.
His latest album, “Foreign Exchange”, spurred two hit songs—R.I.P. Kobe and Road Running. Glizzy set Spotify charts on fire after he released his project. It’s been streamed over 100K times. And earlier this year, when dropped the video for R.I.P. Kobe, the fans showed his video lots of love. It has over 115K views alone.
His determination and drive come from his athletic background. He was a former 5-star athlete who played Division-1 basketball for San Jose State University. His lyrics, with their mentions of all the luxuries he enjoys from his grind help to motivate others. Glizzy also stands as a role model in his community having started his own chain of “Foreign Family Clothing” stores throughout the Bay Area.
He respects rappers like Rick Ross for his ability to go from music magnet to business mogul. Foreign Glizzy started his own independent imprint entitled Foreign Family Records, and he has a family of artists signed under him.
The young mogul gives back to his community with food drives and backpack giveaways yearly. You can’t help but want to see him win.
His music is available on all platforms.
