Gangsta Rap Revivalist YG's Just Re'd Up Tour
Upon releasing his debut album My Krazy Life in 2014, Compton born and raised rapper YG became synonymous with the revitalisation of West Coast Gangsta Rap, harking back to the genre's funk-edged 90s roots whilst keeping his hot topic, politically-angled lyrics firmly based in tackling the social injustices of the present. This year he's hitting the road with brand new album 'Just Re'd Up 3'.
Unafraid to play directly to and for the crowd, he encourages mosh-pit levels of chaos and soaring moments during a capella sing-a-longs, occasionally throwing in his signature dance move to up the ante. Wear comfortable shoes and expect a rock show atmosphere with a hip hop pedigree.
