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.[3] The single's success resulted in his signing to Def Jam Recordings.[4] 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.

In June 2013, YG signed an additional deal with Young Jeezy's imprint CTE World. His 2013 single, "My Nigga" (featuring Jeezy and Rich Homie Quan), peaked at number 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100. 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, My Krazy Life in March 2014. The album peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 and received critical acclaim. Later in 2014, he guest appeared on Jeremih's single "Don't Tell 'Em", which peaked at number six on the Hot 100 and remains his highest charting entry on the chart. In 2016, he released his second album, Still Brazy, to further acclaim.

In 2018, he released his third studio album, Stay Dangerous, to similar success and generally positive reviews. It included the single "Big Bank" (featuring 2 Chainz, Big Sean and Nicki Minaj); his highest charting song as a lead artist peaking at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. His fourth studio album, 4Real 4Real, was released in 2019 in memory of deceased rapper and close colleague Nipsey Hussle. His fifth and sixth studio albums, My Life 4Hunnid (2020) and I Got Issues (2022) followed thereafter.

Early life

Keenon Dequan Ray Jackson was born on March 9, 1990, in Compton, California.[2][5] He grew up on the 400 block of West Spruce Street in Compton, CA, which is the origin of his "4hunnid" tag (which along with being called out in his album titles and song lyrics is also the name of his record label and streetwear brands).[6][7] His stage name "YG" stands for "Young Gangsta."[8] YG joined the Pirus in 2006 at age 16.[9] His father served time in jail for tax fraud.[10]

Career

2008–2012: Beginnings

YG created the "Pu$haz Ink" record label and group with DJ Mustard in 2008.[11] After releasing several songs that garnered him a large following on the internet, such as "She A Model" and "Aim Me" YG signed to Def Jam in 2009.[12] According to Max Gousse, the senior VP of A&R at Island/Def Jam who inked the rapper, the signing stemmed from a newfound emphasis on West Coast artists by label president/CEO L.A. Reid, as well as, Y.G.’s skills and stage presence.[13] However, just as he was getting his buzz up in mid-2009, he was arrested on a parole violation, stemming from a previous charge of residential burglary.[11] Following that, he worked on mixtapes, touring and running his 4Hunnid brand clothing line.[14] "Toot It and Boot It" featuring LA-based singer Ty Dolla Sign was released in 2010, and became both of their breakout hit.[11] He was also featured in XXL's 2011 Freshmen Class.[15] Beginning with YG's mixtape The Real 4 Fingaz, DJ Mustard begun significantly producing on YG's projects. Their work together resulted in songs such as "I'm Good", "Bitches Ain't Shit" featuring Tyga and Nipsey Hussle and "You Broke" again featuring Nipsey Hussle. The singles were met with moderate success, but not near as much as his debut single.[16][17]

2012–2014: Signing with CTE World and My Krazy Life

In 2012, he announced his debut album, then titled “I'm 4rm Bompton”. Later in June 2013, he revealed that Jeezy's record label CTE World would release the album.[18] He was then featured on Yo Gotti's "Act Right" also featuring Jeezy. It would peak at number 100 on the Billboard Hot 100.[19] He was then prominently featured on the CTE World mixtape, Boss Yo Life Up Gang in August 2013.[20]

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 also revealed that Drake would be featured on a song titled "Who Do You Love?", produced by DJ Mustard. Shortly thereafter he released the album's lead single "My Nigga" featuring Rich Homie Quan and Jeezy, also produced by DJ Mustard.[21] The song has since peaked at number 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[22] On December 10, 2013, YG released the DJ Mustard-produced "Left, Right" as the album's second single.[23] The following day, Def Jam announced that My Krazy Life would be released on March 18, 2014[24] and that "Who Do You Love?" featuring Drake would be the album's next single.[25] On February 18, 2014, YG revealed the cover artwork for his debut album My Krazy Life.

When YG originally came up with the idea for a label (originally titled Pushaz Ink, stylized as Pu$haz Ink), he later attempted to co-found it with DJ Mustard and Ty Dolla $ign.[44] Originally the "label" was used as a promotional tool and a brand for YG and DJ Mustard's group of rap collaborators they had grown up with. But as they moved forward in laying the groundwork for the label and its roster, plans for the label were scrapped when their meeting with Capitol went south and the three artists decided to go their separate ways.[45]

There were rumors throughout 2016 that YG would be launching a new label under the name 4Hunnid. They originally begun when YG released a fashion line prominently featuring the 4Hunnid logo. This was confirmed to be true on August 17, 2016, when Billboard magazine reported that YG signed a distribution deal for the label under the 4Hunnid name with Interscope Records and Empire Distribution.[45] The name is a reference to the 400 block of West Spruce Street in Compton, CA, where he grew up.[46][47]

Personal life

YG has two daughters from a previous relationship. YG is a member of the Compton-based Westside Tree Top Piru gang.[48][49] On January 25, 2012, shots were fired during the filming of YG's music video "I'm a Thug". The police shut down and closed the set.[49][50]

On June 12, 2015, YG was shot in the hip at a recording studio in Studio City, California, resulting in three separate wounds in his hip.[51][52] Authorities said that YG was "very uncooperative" when asked about the incident. His manager later revealed that his injuries were not life-threatening and said he was "fine" and recovering.[53] He returned to the studio the next day.[54]

YG followed a vegan diet for about three months in 2016, citing health reasons.[55][56]

On September 6, 2019, it was confirmed that he and singer Kehlani were dating,[57] but the relationship ended after he was caught cheating.

YG is a notable fan of the Los Angeles Rams NFL team,[58] and was known to have befriended then-running back Todd Gurley.[59] He was frequently spotted wearing a Rams home jersey in several video shoots and at several Rams’ home games, including one instance during the 2017 season against the Houston Texans in which Rams’ receiver Robert Woods caught a touchdown and jumped onto the table in the back of the endzone to celebrate alongside YG.[60]

Controversies

YG was the subject of media attention and protests in October 2016 when it was reported that he had advocated for the targeted robbery of Asian Americans in his music.[61] YG's song "Meet the Flockers", from his 2014 debut album "My Krazy Life", was widely accused of racism against the Asian American community, especially Chinese Americans. In the song, YG raps "First, you find a house and scope it out / Find a Chinese neighborhood, cause they don't believe in bank accounts." Receiving little controversy when first released, the song drew renewed scrutiny in 2016 after an uptick in burglaries targeting Asian-Americans. YG has described "Meet the Flockers" as being representative of the culture he grew up in.[62]

YG faced controversy on October 28, 2019, after kicking out 17-year-old fan, Austin Joyner, at his concert after the fan refused to curse out "Fuck Donald Trump" on stage. Joyner was pushed by the rapper and called a racist before being escorted off stage.[63][64] Turning Point USA interviewed the 17-year-old on February 23, 2020, revealing that he was celebrating his birthday with friends and that he was apolitical. After being kicked off stage he was advised by staff to leave due to "YG putting a target on [his] back". Afterwards, Joyner received attention online from social media and news publications soon leading to hate comments.[65]

YG was arrested on January 24, 2020 at his Southern California home on robbery charges, and was held on $250,000 bail at the Men's Central Jail for arraignment on January 28, 2020.[66] YG had been scheduled to perform on January 26, 2020, at the Grammy Awards.[67]
