YG is back with a new single and video called ‘Out on Bail’, off his forthcoming new album My Life 4Hunnid.
The Compton rapper had changed the name of the album to that from Laugh Now Kry Later and recently announced that it will hit stores on October 2. YG’s recent singles (listen to the previous one ‘Equinox’ here) have not had big commercial success but going by the description of the album by him, it looks like the project will not have too much crossover appeal.
In the accompanying video, directed by Austin Simkins, YG makes it rain on a prison yard and performs on top of a cop car before riding out in his red Ferrari and hitting the club.
Watch the video for the banger above. YG said the album is heavily influenced by Tupac and reveals that Lil Wayne is featured on a song off the album, titled ‘Blood Walk’.
“This album was highly influenced by Tupac. This is as far as the space I’m in and what I’m dealing with in life. He went through a lot of the stuff that I’m dealing with right now, and he was making records about it, and just the tone and the cadence of how he was coming up. I was playing with a lot of that type of sway of Tupac. So that’s a fact, that’s a fun fact. Since I was playing with all the Tupac stuff, I had to go get somebody else who was influenced, highly influenced by Tupac. So I went and got Lil Wayne to sing with me on a song.”
“And the song is like, I think it’s a song that everybody’s going to love, because it sounds like it’s some street sh-t, but Lil Wayne shot it like the 2008 way, you know what I’m saying? 2007, 2006, he sounds like that. So we all look out for that, you feel me? That song was called “Blood Walk.” It featured Lil Wayne and my artist D3, but it’s fire though.”
