Mustard did my first mixtape, and after that, he started DJing.
Me and Mustard the same age, and when we was growing up, he was DJing all the parties, and I was at all the parties.
My heart is numb. It's not broke, it's numb. It's numb because of hard situations.
I just woke up one morning, and I painted my Maybach red - I wrapped it, matter of fact, red - and I thought, 'I might as well change my album to 'Still Brazy' 'cause I gotta be real with myself.'
When I'm outside the studio, there's some paranoia.
I grew up with my moms and pops. Pops was in jail for, like, three years.
In the record business, if you sign an artist that don't really know too much about the business, you can really get over on them in a lot of different ways, so it's a lot of people that don't give artist the game because they're trying to make the most money in the fastest way off their artists.
I went to jail for residential burglary. I got a strike, and I was 19 years old.
People look at me like YG the turnt-up dude, hit singles and all that. And, yeah, that's me, but I'm for my people, too.
I appreciate breathing and smelling and seeing.
My music is just me, something people are gonna turn up to; the girls are gonna dance.
I'm speaking for the streets, for the people down here. I can be their spokesperson.
I'ma stay consistent. I'ma deliver. And I'ma keep using my platform to uplift people who I feel got what it take or deserve it or just - you feel me?
When you think of YG, you think of the West Coast, L.A., the lifestyle; that's what the brand about. That's what 4Hunnid represents.
