YG drops ‘Hollywood’

The track features Shoreline Mafia and was produced by Ty Dolla $ign

Multi-platinum recording artist YG returns with his new single, โ€œHollywood,โ€ featuring Shoreline Mafia, produced by longtime collaborator Ty Dolla $ign. The track is the second release from his forthcoming project, The Gentlemanโ€™s Club, and arrives just in time for the summer.

With its upbeat West Coast sound, โ€œHollywoodโ€ carries a balance between confidence and fun. The hook โ€œThis some West Coast shit you canโ€™t fuck with / South Central all the way to Sunsetโ€ feels like both a declaration and an inside nod to anyone who knows the city. Shoreline Mafia adds their usual raw presence, while Ty Dolla $ign lays down a smooth but bouncy beat that lets the track ride. โ€œHollywoodโ€ is a full-circle moment for the duo and is the first track produced by Ty since their breakout hit โ€œToot It and Boot It,โ€ released over a decade ago. The song is a reminder that even as YG evolves, the West is still home.

Alongside the single, YG dropped the official music video, which leans into the Gentlemenโ€™s Club storyline seen in his last video for โ€œ2004.โ€ YG and Shoreline Mafia arrive in a black limo, dressed in all-black suits, confidently setting the tone. YG steps out of the limo carrying a takeout bag from The Marathon Burger, the burger spot founded by the late Nipsey Hussle, a quiet nod to legacy and community. The video also features a cameo from Ty Dolla $ign and a crew of dancers styled in classic Gentlemenโ€™s Club look in black suits and dress shoes, echoing YGโ€™s new aesthetic.
