In a borough where recognition is minimal, Greg Simmons, aka YG, is definitely putting the Bronx on his back. Although he is young, his lyrical ability is far from underage. With just two years of professional rhyming experience under his belt, this South Bronx native definitely holds his own. His confident wordplay is amplified over the strong base on the heartfelt "Look What You Made Me", where he takes you on a journey through his struggles and achievements Look what you made me / everything to gain, nuffin to lose / no antimosity felt, got nuffin to prove / I been thru the worse of times / most the times I had to work for mine / look at me now, still tickin, it was worth the grind / stakes was high, still felt it was worth the climb / the game was dying, I stepped in at a perfect time. A rapper definitely needs to exhibit versatility, and YG proves that he can also get the party cracking with his catchy hook on the energetic Im Fresh I got my hat tilt / my long-johns / my jeans sag / my Gores on / my mind right / my money right / my grind right / my doe long / and even if I had no clothes on / baby Im fresh / IM FRESH. YG has already established himself in the game opening for the Diplomatâs Juelz Santana, Rocafellas Young Gunz, superstar entertainer Doug E Fresh, and DTPs Bobby Valentino. In addition, he has rocked some of New York Citys hottest unsigned hype competitions and showcases at clubs like Downtime, Club Pyramid, Clementes Lounge, the Cherry Lounge, Club Speed, Demerara, and the Sugar Bar. After winning the Harsh Reality Artist Showcase, YG was awarded an interview on 91.9 FM in the Bronx, NY. He took full advantage of this opportunity, and spit fire, live on air. This caused listeners from all over the city to call in and ask the infamous question Who is that dude? YG was also rewarded Artist of the month on janisepromotions.com, after his hot performance at the HOW TO SPIT showcase. YG has what most young artist his age lack, hunger, drive, confidence, humbleness, and the determination to be heard. With inspirations like Jay-Z, Nas and Eminem, this boy is destined for greatness. What inspires his drive for music is his love for the art, and his determination to prove to the industry that the public wants more than party anthems and lavish videos. He is not only looking forward to changing the rap game, but reinventing what the rap game was. You can listen to YG prove his great talent and hot lyrical ability on his debut mixtape YG: SEASON BEGINS (PEN IN PALM VOL. 1) comin soon.
