Since being tapped as a member of XXL's 2011 Freshman class, YG has graduated to star status, piling up hit records and show-stealing guest spots while solidifying himself as one of the strongest voices out of the West coast. With three critically acclaimed albums under his belt—most recently his 2018 effort, Stay DangerousYG returns with 4Real 4Real, which finds the Bompton rep expanding his sound while creeping toward mogul status.

Initially intended to be a surprise release, the death of close friend and frequent collaborator Nipsey Hussle caused YG to push the album back in a show of respect, as well as to allow himself time to mourn. Announcing the album's forthcoming release earlier this month, YG made sure 4Real 4Real was worth the wait, servicing fans with another quality body of work right in time for the summer.

Featuring guest appearances from Meek Mill, Ty Dolla $ign, Tyga, DaBaby, G-Eazy, Boogie, Kamaiyah, Valee, Arin Ray, Day Sulan, Jon Z, Mitch, RJMrLA, Rose Gold, and Safe, 4Real 4Real includes multiple collaborative efforts. On the production tip, 1-O.A.K., Corbett, Cronkite, CuBeatz, DJ Swish, GYLTTRYP, Hit-Boy, Lil Rich, Musik MajorX, Mustard, Tariq Beats, TnTXD and Yung Tago are among the boardsman to contribute to 4Real 4Real, which may the most musical album of the 4Hunnid general's career.

With YG's latest collection being hot off the press and the premier drop of this week's releases, XXL dives deep into the album to highlight 20 lyrics from 4Real 4Real that are sure to capture your attention.
