"My N***a" Featuring Rich Homie Quan And Jeezy

Level Of Ratchetness: XL

This is for my dogs. Jeezy and YG are ride or die for their homies in “My Ni**a.” Mustard has a proven formula with hit records, giving YG his first single that peaked at No. 20 in the Billboard Hot 100.  You can’t mess with the results.


"Take It To The Neck" Featuring Clyde Carson

Level Of Ratchetness: XL

With bouncy chimes, Clyde Carson and YG tell these women what they gotta do at the club and crib. Go time like ready set.


"#Grindmode" Featuring 2 Chainz And Nipsey Hussle

Level Of Ratchetness: L

Grind mode means a lot of things. 24/7 hustling. Toughening it out until you’ve made it. In the case of these guys, it’s all of these to the maximum. Every rapper needs a getting money anthem and YG supplies one for the streets.


"Burn Rubber" Featuring Joe Moses And YG

Level Of Ratchetness: XL

Backed by a retro-inspired flavor, West Coast titan Joe Moses tells listeners how to do the ratchet.  YG surprisingly doesn’t get overshadowed here, either. Burn rubber in the fast lane.


"Sprung" Featuring TeeFlii

Level Of Ratchetness: XL

“Sprung” is strictly for the ladies. YG and TeeFlii turn you up courtesy of their blunt love song. Don’t catch feelings.

"The Homie" Featuring Jeezy

Level Of Ratchetness: L

DJ Mustard’s booming production is the perfect backdrop for the rider anthem “The Homie.” Jeezy and his newest signee to CTE would go on to make more signature collaborations just like the one displayed here.


"Blunted" Featuring Casey Veggies & Shitty

Level Of Ratchetness: L

You can’t be from the West Coast without having at least one song dedicated to smoking marijuana. Mustard brings a hazy sound for YG, Casey Veggies and Shitty to kick rhymes about that sticky icky.


"Overtime" Featuring Ty$

Level Of Ratchetness: L

Here’s one that praises all the ladies who put in extra work. You probably will not be hearing “Overtime” in the clubs, but it’ll give your significant other something to say “Aw!” about.


"I'm 4rm Bompton"

Level Of Ratchetness: XL

YG isn’t afraid to admit what set he claims. On “I’m 4rm Bompton,” the Blood Gang affiliate lays down some real rhymes about the city he comes from. Keeping it 4Hunnid.
