YG didn’t announce the release of his debut album, ‘’I’m 4rm Bompton’’, until 2012, which would be produced by Syla$ and released by CTE World. However, he changed his plans and renamed album to ‘’My Krazy Life’’, additionally releasing it via Def Jam Recordings, and not until 2014, and featured 14 songs with a personal background, beginning with ‘’Momma Speech Intro’’ and ‘’BPT’’; guest singers on the album were prominent rappers such as Drake and Kendrick Lamar, and it ultimately got a mostly positive response from the audience, being described as ‘’a developed, knotty and, ultimately, deeply moral narrative’’, and selling more than 140,000 copies in the US solely. Its main song, ‘’My Nig*a’’ peaked at number 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100, so really helping his net worth to rise.

YG remained busy throughout the following years, in 2015 announcing his second album entitled ‘’Still Brazy’’. The first single from the album that was released was entitled ‘’Twist My Fingaz’’, and shortly after that YG released ‘’Cash Money’’, made in collaboration with Krayzie Bone. The full version of the former was released during mid-2015, and by the end of the year, he had released ‘’I Want a Benz’’, made in partnership with 50 Cent and Nipsey Hussle. The whole album was ultimately released a few months later in 2016, YG stated that he was working on another project, which would ultimately be released in 2017 in collaboration with DJ Mustard, and entitled ‘’Just Re’d Up 3’’. He remained busy in 2017, working alongside world-renowned singer Mariah Carey, and released the song entitled ‘’I Don’t’’, which he later on performed on ‘’Jimmy Kimmel Live!’’. The song was later on remixed by Remy Ma.

In addition to being a singer, YG also tried to establish his record label, alongside DJ Mustard and Ty Dolla $ign, however, as things weren’t progressing as they expected, they had to drop the whole idea.

He has also had several small acting gigs, such as in ‘’Lucas Bros Moving Co’’, in which he portrayed O-Mek, adding somewhat to his net worth.

When it comes to his private life, there is no public mention of any romantic associations. There was an incident during the filming of his video for ‘’I’m A Thug’’ when shots were fired, and the police stopped filming and shut the place down. YG was shot in 2015, however, the wounds weren’t life-threatening and he recovered soon. He lives a vegan lifestyle apparently for health reasons.
