Background notes
Archive material and source history
Y-G-S formed in Los Angeles in the early 2000s, coming out of the city's underground hip-hop scene. They were a collective with members like Young Guillotine on vocals and Sam G handling production, along with E-Steady on drums and Aye-Yo on keyboards. Their sound pulled from R&B, funk, and electronic music, which gave them a different feel from a lot of what was happening at the time.
Their debut album 'The Cutting Edge' came out in 2005, and the track 'Cutting Corners' got people's attention. The song had a catchy melody and lyrics that dealt with city life in a direct way. They followed that with albums like 'Urban Renewal' in 2008, 'City Lights' in 2012, and 'The Revolution' in 2016.
Some of their other songs, like 'Last To Know' and 'I Don't Care,' kept that mix of groove and straightforward writing. Their music sometimes drew criticism for its language and how it handled social issues, but that didn't slow them down much. They kept making music that felt both current and a little left of center.
