From the streets of Nashville to the soul of Roane County, William Jackson, known to fans as Gorilla Will, is setting a powerful tone in today’s independent music scene. At 32 years old, this Tennessee native brings a rare blend of authenticity, lyrical strength, and genre-crossing finesse that’s earning him both local and national recognition.
With a deep passion for music rooted in life experience and ambition, Gorilla Will has already dropped 2 albums and 5 EPs, proving that consistency and creativity are the foundation of his hustle. His catalog is not just quantity—it’s quality, featuring collaborations with heavyweights like Boosie Badazz and Mozzy. These features highlight Gorilla Will’s ability to stand toe-to-toe with some of hip-hop’s most respected names.
Adding even more to his resume, he’s worked with industry-renowned producers like DJ Flippp and 808 Kartel out in California. DJ Flippp didn’t just produce for him—he hosted one of Will’s EPs, marking a milestone in his growth as a serious artist with coast-to-coast connections.
Known for strong lyrical content and a sound that seamlessly blends hip-hop and R&B, Gorilla Will’s music reflects both pain and power—whether he’s storytelling from the trenches or singing through struggle. His artistry defies confinement, showing he’s not just following trends—he’s creating his own lane.
As 2025 heats up, fans can expect two major projects from him: the “Will 4 President” EP and the highly anticipated album “Willie Valentino Part 2,” both set to release this summer. These drops promise to solidify his position as one of the South’s most versatile and driven voices.
Gorilla Will is more than a name—it’s a movement. And in his words, he’s not here to fit in. He’s here to take over.
