YG

Since his release in 2009, YG has projected the voice of the streets into the mainstream, eventually leaving his mark as a rapper, actor, entrepreneur, designer and philanthropist. The Compton-born rapper has earned more than 10 billion streams worldwide, more than a dozen multi-platinum, platinum and gold awards, and countless accolades. He's the rare maverick who can stand arm-in-arm with protesters one day, appear on the big screen alongside an Oscar® winner the next, and present a runway showcase on another. He has reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 four consecutive times. Among numerous anthems with social implications, Billboard christened the politically charged "FDT" [feat. Nipsey Hussle] one of the "Songs That Defined the Decade." In 2020, he struck back with the anti-racist song "FTP" and its accompanying music video, of which Variety claims, "If there's one music video that captures the Black Lives Matter demonstrations of June 2020, it's YG's 'FTP.'" He also joined the reunited Public Enemy and an all-star cast of collaborators for a sensational performance of "Fight The Power" at the 2020 BET Awards. "FTP" was one of five breakthrough single and video releases in 2020-2021 from YG's of critically acclaimed fifth studio album My Life 4Hunnid (October 2020), which also included "Laugh Now, Kry Later!", "SWAG", "Equinox" featuring Day Sulan and "Out On Bail".
