YG

Compton

Keenon Dequan Ray Jackson was born on March 9, 1990 in Compton, California, and performs as YG, said to stand for Young Gangsta. Wikipedia lists him as a rapper, songwriter and actor active since 2008, on labels including Epic, 4Hunnid, Def Jam, CTE World, Interscope, BMG and 10K Projects.

My Krazy Life (March 18, 2014, CTE World and Pushaz Ink, distributed by Def Jam) was primarily produced by DJ Mustard, with Ty Dolla Sign, Metro Boomin, Terrace Martin and B. Wheezy among the others. Still Brazy (2016, 47:50, 4Hunnid, CTE World and Def Jam), originally titled Still Krazy and tweaked and expanded in the weeks before release, moved him away from Mustard's turn-up beats toward G-funk. Complex described its lead single as a neo G-funk track in heavy rotation on Los Angeles radio.
