Rapper G-Eazy’s $3.7 Million Hollywood Hills Home Comes With a Professional Recording Studio
Since he’s been living in New York for more than a year now, Gerald Gillum—better known to his fans as G-Eazy—has decided to part ways with the Spanish Colonial villa in Los Angeles he affectionately refers to as Gerryland. The Oakland-born rapper and record producer has stuck a $3.7 million price tag on the towering residence, which is tucked away in the Beachwood Canyon neighborhood of Hollywood Hills.
Though the ask is almost $2 million more than the nearly $1.8 million he paid ER and Salem actor Shane West for the late 1970s abode back in 2016, G-Eazy completely remodeled the digs during his tenure in collaboration with Melody Jimenez of MA Creative. Subsequently described by Architectural Digest as a “low-key hideaway in which to work and collaborate with fellow artists,” the place has four bedrooms and five baths in roughly 3,600 square feet of character-filled living space boasting rustic hardwood floors, custom Italian and Moroccan tile, and artisanal ironwork throughout.
An entry vestibule has a step-down living room on one side and a dining area on the other.

“This was the first home G-EAZY ever bought, even turning the guesthouse into a studio,” says Raul Sanchez Jr. of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California, who holds the listing. “He poured a lot of money into the home, remodeling the kitchen, the walk-in closet, the fixtures are all custom, and of course, the studio, where he wrote many of his biggest hits.”
Sequestered behind walls and a gated entrance in the storied Hollywoodland enclave, the creamy stucco and stair-laced structure is perched upon a steep, almost quarter-acre parcel overlooking jetliner views that include the Hollywood Sign. Inside the double wood and glass front doors, an entry vestibule displaying a curving iron-railed staircase steps down to a living room resting beneath a vaulted wood-beam ceiling and sporting an all-white fireplace and French doors opening out to a slender balcony. The nearby dining room connects to a stylish eat-in kitchen, which is outfitted with dark green cabinetry, marble countertops, and Wolf appliances.
The two-story guesthouse features a recording studio on the lower level and a lounge area up top.

Elsewhere is a posh primary suite flaunting a former bedroom that’s been transformed into a massive walk-in closet to house the No Limit and Me, Myself & I performer’s extensive collection of sneakers and leather jackets, along with Juliet balconies and a masculine bath spotlighted by a glass-encased steam shower. Outdoors, the grounds host several alfresco lounging and entertaining spots enhanced by a saltwater pool with a Baja shelf, plus a fire pit and a built-in barbecue.
Topping it all off is the self-contained two-story guesthouse, which is accessible via stairs and a snazzy elevator and houses a lounge area on the upper level and a professional-grade recording studio with a kitchenette and a shower down below. There’s also a street-level two-car garage.
