Discography 1 albums

GloRilla has released one studio album to date, Glorious (2024), which is covered here in full. Her other major releases are classified differently by Wikipedia and are not studio albums: Anyways, Life's Great (2022) is an EP, Ehhthang Ehhthang (2024) is a mixtape, and the earlier Most Likely Up Next (2019) and P Status (2020) are a self-released mixtape and EP. Gangsta Art (2022) and Gangsta Art 2 (2023) are CMG the Label compilation albums on which she appears rather than solo records. Track 16, 'Never Find,' appears on the bonus track edition of Glorious. The 'Never Find' credit on Wikipedia does not list GloRilla's legal name among its composers, so her stage-name lyricist credit is recorded but she is not added to that track's composer list.

The Authorship Story

Data Insight

GloRilla sits high on the lyricist scale and high on the composer scale, the usual shape for a modern rapper. She writes her own verses, so her stage name anchors the lyricist column on every track, joined by the featured artists who wrote their own guest parts. The composer column runs wider because rap songwriting credits gather everyone with a hand in the music: her legal name Gloria Woods appears beside the producers, the co-writers, and the original writers of any sampled or interpolated material, which is why a track like 'Let Her Cook' carries Isaac Hayes among its composers.
