Cali front-runner YG is prepping for the release of his sixth album. There’s one feature on an upcoming record the artist is most excited about so far.
The 32-year-old recently spilled to TMZ about the sixth installment in his discography, “I Got Issues.”
According to YG, a much coveted Nas feature has been on his checklist for quite some time. While the two artists still haven’t formally worked together in person, the track clearly means much to the Cali native.
YG Crosses One Off The List
Since 2016, Nas has been a big dot on YG’s radar for a feature. The two previously collaborated on the Queens artist 2021 album “Kings Disease II.” On “YKTV,” Nas and YG, along with A Boogie, go back and forth about women, money, and cars.
This newest addition, “I Got Issues,” is also the first time the pair joined forces on YG’s solo project. Understandably, it’s a whole new kind of excitement.
The song has the duo talking from opposite perspectives, with YG also speaking in the third person over Nas’ firsthand account. This accomplishment is a good time for the “Kommunity Service” rapper, who’s taken a noticeably mature turn for his newest release.
Amongst the variety of themes present in “I Got Issues,” gang violence and co-parenting issues are prominent. In a more lighthearted twist, YG offers his version of 50 Cent’s “How to Rob,” jokingly detailing how he’d steal from some of his industry peers. The LA hitmaker told TMZ Hip Hop he’s not too concerned with any backlash from the track, and hopefully, he’s right.
“I Got Issues” drops in their entirety on September 30th. However, you can now listen to a few teaser tracks on Apple Music.
YG dropped his fourth single from the album this past Friday, titled “Alone.”
