YG

Keenon Daequan Ray Jackson, known professionally as YG (short for Young Gangsta), is a prominent figure in the West Coast hip-hop scene. He was born on March 9, 1990, in Compton, California, an area well-known for breeding influential hip-hop artists. Gaining initial recognition with his 2009 single "Toot It and Boot It," YG's career quickly progressed, and he signed to Def Jam Recordings. In 2014, YG's street-wise narrative and gritty beats were brought to the forefront with his debut album "My Krazy Life," which solidified his status in the rap game with hits like "My Nigga" and "Who Do You Love?"

Throughout YG's career, he has consistently embodied the essence of West Coast rap while also incorporating a modern flair. His discography shows his ability to blend party anthems with deeper commentary on the social issues affecting his community, especially in albums like "Still Brazy" (2016) and singles like "FDT" (Fuck Donald Trump). YG's latest releases, including "Hit Me When U Leave The Klub: The Playlist," "Brand New," and "I GOT ISSUES," continue to display his evolution as an artist who is unafraid to celebrate his regional sound while pushing the boundaries of his artistry forward. His collaboration tracks like "Let's Ride" showcase an affinity for creating infectious rhythms that are as suited for street-savvy listeners as they are for mainstream audiences.
