YG at Fillmore Auditorium

YG, short for Young Gangsta, made a name for himself after releasing his debut single, “Toot It and Boot It,” with Ty Dollar Sign. The single soared through the Billboard Hot 100 and landed at number 67. The successful release helped YG score a record deal with Def Jam Recordings in 2010. Three years later, YG joined Young Jeezy’s imprint, CTE World, and released the single “My Nigga” featuring performances from Jeezy and Rich Homie Quan. The single reached number 19 and earned a five-time platinum certification in the U.S. The single preceded the release of YG’s platinum-selling debut album, My Krazy Life, which peaked at number 2 on the Billboard 200 and topped the R&B and Hip-Hop charts. Besides the U.S., My Krazy Life charted several other countries, including Australia, Canada, Germany, and the U.K.

In 2015, YG dropped the single “Ride Out” with Kid Ink, Tyga, Wale, and Rich Homie Quan. The single, charted in 11 countries, was featured in the Furious 7 soundtrack and earned gold status in the U.S. In the same year, YG released the first single, “Twist My Fingaz,” from his sophomore effort, Still Brazy. The lead single was followed by “FDT” featuring Nipsey Hussle and the double platinum track “Why You Always Hatin?” featuring Drake and Kamaiyah.

This 2023, YG’s the Red Cup Tour will feature tracks from his latest effort, I Got Issues, which spawned two hit singles, “Scared Money,” featuring J.Cole and Moneybagg Yo, and “Toxic.” The album peaked at number 18 on the Billboard 200 and entered the top 20 of the R&B and Hip-Hop charts.
