The Rundown: YG, My Krazy Life

A track-by-track review of the West Coast rapper's debut.

"I Just Wanna Party" featuring ScHoolboy Q and Jay Rock - Over a characteristic and infectious DJ Mustard beat (ripe with claps and chants), YG invites fellow L.A. natives ScHoolBoy Q and Jay Rock along to ride for their 'hoods and kick off the party. (Photos from left: Bennett Raglin/BET/Getty Images for BET, John Ricard / BET, Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for BMI)
“No Reason” ft. YG, Jeezy, RJ and Nipsey Hussle - Beyond producing the perfect sonic union, Mustard had the task of pairing the artistry of various rappers on each track. For “No Reason” he recruited none other than Jeezy, whose flow complements the hyper-energized sounds from the West Coast rappers. Nipsey Hussle, RJ and YG are also right on point, laying down unapologetic punch lines simply because they can.(Photo: Bennett Raglin/BET/Getty Images for BET)
"Bicken Back Being Bool" - YG throws his storytelling cap on for this thumping Mustard-crafted cut as he paints a picture of a day in the 'hood he came up in.  (Photo: John Ricard / BET)
"Meet the Flockers" featuring Tee Cee - You wouldn't want to run into YG and Tee Cee after listening to "Meet the Flockers." The two MCs trade verses about stick ups and robberies to help them get paid by any means necessary. (Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for Interscope Geffen A&M)"My N---a" featuring Jeezy and Rich Homie Quan - Jeezy and Rich Homie Quan hop in the booth for this hit to add a little Atlanta flavor to the Cali rapper's now platinum-selling cut.(Photo: CTE World)

"Left, Right" featuring DJ Mustard - DJ Mustard is all over this head-nodder. The frequent YG collaborator not only provides the production, but also some vocals, which earns him a "feature" credit. (Photo: Bennett Raglin/BET/Getty Images for BET)
