YG has been promoting his new “Red Friday” mixtape heavily all week, leading up to its eventual release on, well, Friday.
Except that’s not how it went.
A leaked version of the stream went up on Audiomack today (today being Thursday, and not Friday) and now YG is blaming his label for the early unofficial release.
Seeing how much success he had with “Fuck Donald Trump,” this Twitter rant is one DJ Mustard beat away from being YG’s next banger.
The 8-song project features guest appearances from 21 Savage, RJ and Mitch. Listen to the stream below.

Red Friday is set to drop Friday (November 25) on Black Friday. YG will be hosting a special mixtape signing in Oakland with 1,400 physical copies available for purchase for $100.

YG is really making a big deal out of his Red Friday mixtape and has now planned a special Black Friday signing in Oakland, California for the project’s release.
The Compton rapper announced on Instagram that he will be selling hard copies of Red Friday for $100 apiece at a signing and meet and greet at Beastmode in Oakland on Friday (November 25). This follows the example of his friend Nipsey Hussle, who sold his Crenshaw mixtape for the same price back in 2013, advertised as “The World’s First $100 Album.” YG says there are only 1,400 “kopies” of Red Friday available as part of the Proud 2 Pay initiative that Nipsey founded.
Fans who can’t make it to Oakland will still be able to download a digital copy of the Red Friday mixtape upon its release.

After the release of his Still Brazy album and while still riding the success of his “FDT” Donald Trump diss track, YG announced new music today (October 24), following a similar hint he sent yesterday.
He doesn’t give a release date or any further details on what the new music is. Will YG’s new release be a single, a video, or an entire project? Stay tuned.
The Compton MC has been working on the 400 Summers mixtape with DJ Mustard after the two reconciled in April. He also signed a multi-million dollar deal with Interscope for the major label to house his 4 Hunnid imprint.
[UPDATE]: YG released “One Time Comin'” a song dedicated to victims of police brutality tonight (October 24). Listen here.
Let me guess, more semi-political rap?
Fuck YG both of his albums are fucking trash anybody who like to listen to his garbage is a loser
Outside of TDE, most west coast rappers r trash. The beats are horrible. Move to the west if your a shitty aspiring rapper. You got a better chance at making it.
He going to rap about killing trump posted up with his shooters selling drugs and throwing gang sings
Hahaha. Damn I miss Tupac, Biggie and Phife Dawg
i miss MC Hammer
Most gang members are likely prohibited from voting due to prior felonies. However, if poles, I’m confident an overwhelming majority of them would have supported a Hillary Clinton presidency..
$100 bucks…maybe if there are some DTF thots attending!
saw your mom in line
Zap!
Studio Gangster
who cares? this guy is a fake blood. I grew up on Lil Wayne and he is a real blood. what a shame…. Baby and Weezy created hip hop in 1999. dont disrespect legends! swag
U r truly an idiot smdh….
Lmao! Your trollin is wild
“Baby and Weezy created hip hop in 1999” l
Wayne aint not real blood. Got picked up by baby when he was 11 aint never did no gang bangin period
Wayne aint no real blood. Got picked up by baby when he was 11 aint never did no gang bangin period
For whatever reason I just don’t like to listen to Yg. I like some of his music but I think for the most part it’s pretty typical and doesn’t standout in no way. I would listen to JA$tun1 on soundcloud might be something you want to hear.
Whatever happened to the YG army that was all over the comments when he dropped Still Brazy?
YG is complete trash. His music doesn’t stand out in any way and is the same ol recycled trap beats rappin about the same shit. Aside from TDE, Bishop Lamont is the only original authentic emcee doing anything different on the westcoast or in music in general. He just released his debut album, The Reformation.
Gibbs is the best west coast rapper for sure
Gibbs from Gary, Indiana..that’s the midwest
Yea but…. every gibbs fan knows hes west coast as well. Go listen to “lakers” … but yea i feel u. Either way hes the best livin in cali
Gibbs is definitely “a Los Angeles rapper” at this point and YG doesn’t suck
Gibbs is in no way an LA rapper. He is NOT from Los Angeles nor does he rhyme about Los Angeles related subject matter. He’s good but in no way will he ever be an Los Angeleno. He’s proud to be from Gary, Indiana the home of the Jacksons.
Lmao. A lot of jealous f aggots up in the comment section hating on the nigga yg. Truth is none of yall would say shit to his face or any other TTP niggaz……pussy azz busters.
Ha he fucked up, he said “cd” instead of “kd” like a real blood.
