On September 4, 2013, YG revealed that his debut album would be released on November 19, 2013, via Def Jam Recordings and that he has changed the album title to My Krazy Life. He was then prominently featured on the CTE World mixtape, Boss Yo Life Up Gang in August 2013. It would peak at number 100 on the Billboard Hot 100. He was then featured on Yo Gotti's " Act Right" also featuring Jeezy. Later in June 2013, he revealed that Jeezy's record label CTE World would release the album. In 2012, he announced his debut album, then titled “I'm 4rm Bompton”. His fifth studio album, My Life 4Hunnid, was released in 2020. His fourth studio album, 4Real 4Real, was released in 2019 in memory of deceased rapper and close colleague Nipsey Hussle. It included the single, " Big Bank" (featuring 2 Chainz, Big Sean and Nicki Minaj), his highest charting solo single, peaking at number 16 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 2018, he released his third studio album, Stay Dangerous, to generally positive reviews. In 2016, he released his second album, Still Brazy, to further acclaim. Later in 2014, he was featured on his highest-charting single to date, " Don't Tell 'Em", with American singer Jeremih, peaking at number 6 on the Hot 100. The album, My Krazy Life, was released in March of that year by Pu$haz Ink, CTE World and Def Jam, and receiving commercial success and critical acclaim.
He then released the singles " Left, Right" (featuring DJ Mustard) and " Who Do You Love?" (featuring Drake), leading up to the release of his debut studio album in 2014. His 2013 single, " My Nigga" (featuring Jeezy and Rich Homie Quan), peaked at number 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100. In June 2013, YG signed an additional deal with Young Jeezy's imprint CTE World.
In the following years, YG released mixtapes such as The Real 4Fingaz, Just Re'd Up, Just Re'd Up 2, 4 Hunnid Degreez, among others. The single's success resulted in his signing to Def Jam Recordings. In 2010, he released his debut single, " Toot It and Boot It" (featuring Ty Dolla Sign), which peaked at number 67 on the Billboard Hot 100. Think of 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin' delivered by an inspired rapper in a post- Nicki Minaj world and you're close to the thrill of this inspired debut.Keenon Dequan Ray Jackson (born March 9, 1990), better known by his stage name YG (short for Young Gangsta), is an American rapper from Compton, California. The album's secret weapon is DJ Mustard who offers numerous productions that are pop like Young Money and bottom-heavy with G-Funk as the blueprint. Is an aggressive playa, and the slow and supposedly "sweet" numbers like "Me & My Bitch" cause speed bumps on an otherwise alive album, but the superstars like Kendrick, Drake, and Schoolboy Q are shuffled in smoothly, and when Rich Homie Quan and Jeezy come through on the great "My Hitta" the chemistry is perfect. Remarks on during "Really Be (Smokin N Drinkin')" featuring Kendrick Lamar, and yet his rattling through street slang and drug combos is the inspired stuff of early E-40 or Too Short without the relaxed pimp stance. The Breaking Bad cast would even balk at the drug consumption quest Y.G. He's making sure, as his furious Momma yells during the intro, he's not winding up in jail "like your damn Daddy!", and becomes a "people person" the only way he knows how, by enlisting that Parliamentary funk during the party starting "Do It to Ya" which comes with an "Ass up!" and etc.Ĭhorus that can't be repeated in mixed company. Has got that "music as a way out" thing going into overdrive.
YG MY KRAZY LIFE CD PLUS
My Krazy Life is an excitement-packed journey back to the days when the hardest gun talk and most thrilling, plus provocative, put-downs came from the underbelly of the Golden State, but as much as the album revels in murder, misogyny, and mayhem, Y.G. crew in their early days, combined with a little of that Geto Boys' ramshackle kamikaze style, although they were, obviously, born in Houston. Wants to bring all the gold home to the land of Cube, Snoop, Dre, and Eazy-E.īesides that, on his Def Jam debut he's got that smartass killer attitude of the N.W.A.
That leaves gangsta rap's birthplace, the West Coast, with little representation, but the 24-year-old - and sounding much younger - Compton kid known as Y.G. Love it or loathe it, unashamed gangsta rap exists, and in 2014, it thrives with folks like Chief Keef and other Chicago-based thugs ruling the youth side of the genre, while Southern smokers take up the rest of the chart positions, including plenty of freaky hits for Gucci Mane and glitzy baller smashes coming from the Miami-based Don Rick Ross.
