Since breaking out through his many mixtapes at such a young age, YMCMB rapper Tyga has gone from strength to strength within the music industry. It has been interesting to follow his progression in his work and we can hear a more refined as well as a mature sound which shines through from the vivid story telling. Perhaps his biggest accolades have some from his No. 1 album, Careless World: Rise of the last King, which produced two platinum singles, “Rack City” and “Faded” but there is no doubt there is more to come.
