The Rundown: YG, My Krazy Life

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

The Rundown: YG, My Krazy Life - Since emerging with his 2010 hit "Toot It and Boot It," YG has released a slew of mixtapes and a handful of club hits. It's been unclear, however, if the Def Jam signee would ever be able to get a release date for his major label debut. That question is answered today on My Krazy Life, as the Los Angeles native drops a cohesive collection that combines street stories with thundering production. (Photo: Def Jam Recordings)
OVO Festival 2014 - Drake’s OVO Fest is quickly becoming one of hip hop’s must see shows. You’ve got to be a well-respected artist to garner an invite from Drizzy. Count YG among the class of stars who were bestowed the honor this year. The fifth annual festival also brought big name talent like Outkast, 50 Cent and Lauryn Hill to the 6. The Cali rapper was able to grace the stage with such hip hop luminaries because he is one of the most sought after young hitmakers in the game today.(Photo: Leon Bennett/WireImage)
"BPT" - The Compton native puts on for his neighborhood on this funkdafied cut that finds the kid known for club hits rhyming with more speed and intent than listeners may be used to. (Photo by Joe Kohen/Getty Images)"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)
