30-year-old West Coast rapper YG has ended up the brand new face of West Coast rap. He’s partnered with producer DJ Mustard for his debut album, and the two have taken control of hip hop radio airwaves throughout the nation. With hits like “Who Do You Love?” with Drake and “My N*gga”, YG is on the rise and seeking to win big at the hip hop game, with or without a shirt.
YG dropped his debut album Krazy Life in 2014 with the whole production through DJ Mustard. They met after they had been teenagers. DJ mustard came from the Westside of LA, and a mutual friend related them seven years ago. Mustard began generating songs at the time he became a member and radio DJ. Their first minor achievement became a single known as Toot it and Boot it. Mustard felt pressured to provide a song for YG, considering the fact that he became rapping over instrumentals over different rap songs. The signature ‘Mustard On The Beat’ is definitely spoken through YG. Mustard’s real call is Dijon; that’s why he selected the nickname.
DJ Mustard has said that he and YG are the brand new Dre and Snoop. Mustard’s feedback had been now no longer evaluating their careers and musical style, but their relationship and friendship with each other.
YG’s song is blowing up in the clubs, which is how he garnered a majority of his spins. YG bumped into Drake at Roscoe’s in 2010, and the Canadian rapper recounted YG’s work announcing he became a fan. He had numerous encounters with him earlier than the two exchanged numbers to work together. Drake heard the beat for “Who Do You Love?” and became satisfied enough to hop at the beat.
In 2013 after being previously signed to Young Jeezy’s CTE World YG, they signed to Def Jam. He became serving a prison sentence for housebreaking while his mother became contacted through numerous label executives. His deal is worth $2 million for three albums.
