In 2022, G-Eazy joined the ownership group of Purpose-driven, professional soccer team Oakland Roots. G-Eazy released an EP B-Sides on June 25, 2019, which contained the songs that wouldn’t make it onto his then-upcoming album. The EP spawned the song “Bang” with American rapper Tyga. He later re-released the EP on August 22 and September 19 with additional tracks. Gillum released the single “I Wanna Rock”, featuring American rapper Gunna, as the lead single of his EP Scary Nights, on October 16. The EP was released on October 18.
