Stream YG and Cookin’ Soul’s New Mixtape

YG teams up with production team Cookin' Soul for the new California Livin mixtape. Also along for the ride on the 13-track effort are Blanco and DB Tha General. Directly influenced by Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle and early 2Pac records, California Livin is an ode to cookouts, low riders and good weed. Nispey Hussle pops up for a guest appearance and the masterful production from Cookin' Soul will keep your head bopping as the warm weather slowly dissipates throughout the country. Hosted by DJ Drama, California Livin is available for stream via DatPiff below.:

YG was shot three times in the hip during the early summer while he was recording in Studio City, Los Angeles. He spoke about the night recently, elaborating on what he remembers went down “After I got shot, I’m telling everybody, ‘Take me to the hospital, because I can’t die,’” he recalled. “We hop in my homie’s car and bam–we got in a car accident. We hit an island trying to avoid another car. We had to hop out of the totaled car, hop in another car.” He said that being in the hospital taught him which of his friends actually value his safety.
