DJ Mustard’s distinctive sound, which laces 10 of the album’s 14 songs, is filled with miles of open space and a refreshing, reserved approach to bass. Perhaps most impressive is the fact that My Krazy Life sounds unmistakably West Coast without sounding exactly like 2001 or The Chronic. My Krazy Life has come out of nowhere to secure an easy position among the best rap albums of the year and an official heads up that ratchet music has arrived. It hits the reset button on every time you’ve ever heard “My Nigga” and makes the song sound brand new again.

Similar to a masterful DJ beat transition, the effect is overwhelmingly pleasurable. But the way “My Nigga” is cleverly sequenced into YG’s debut album My Krazy Life grants it a second life.Īfter just over 2 minutes of the tense, anxious home invasion step by step “Meet the Flockers”, the beat drops out for guest artist Tee Cee’s line “Hit my first lick passed with my niggas aye!” The instant that line ends, the epic first synth hit for “My Nigga” comes ripping out of “Flockers” nervy dread.

Unfortunately, “My Nigga”s omnipresence quickly fatigued the song and now it’s more likely to get a quick flip of the dial than a full listen. It reigned on rap radio for months and still sits in regular rotation. Instead it slowly built momentum before a viral Vine video sent the song rocketing into the top 20. When YG’s (Keenon Jackson) atmospheric single “My Nigga” was released last year it didn't become an instant smash hit. Review Summary: Envoking the vibe of other west coast classics without directly apeing them, YG's My Krazy Life is the dawning of a new day for distinctly California gangsta rap.
