According to Pitchfork, one year after he released his debut studio album, his 2014 breakout effort My Krazy Life, YG was shot. He did not stay down. The Compton rapper came back the next year, just as brazenly honest about the realities of his life, with a song called “Who Shot Me?” As a storyteller, YG’s projects are peppered with comical skits and L.A. street mythology. Since breaking through with 2009’s Ty Dolla $ign–assisted “Toot It and Boot It,” he has recorded over 10 mixtapes and albums, developing his trademark West Coast sound with frequent collaborator DJ Mustard. Throughout his career, YG has worked with hip-hop’s elite, including Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Jeezy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbKJw25tVCE YG's real name: Keenon Dequan Ray Jackson Birthday: March 9, 1990 Age: 32 Birthplace: Compton, California YG's net worth: $5 million Awards: a BET award and an iHeartRadio Music award.
