Background

The title is a reference to YG's record label, 4Hunnid Records. American singer Ty Dolla Sign and American record producer Mustard, who are two of YG's closest friends, also run the label. Nobody has signed to it yet, as it was recently launched. [1]

On the album's cover art, YG is wearing a red shirt with the album's title written all over it and a red light is shining on his body. This is due to the fact that the rapper is closely associated with the Bloods street gang, in which they wear the color red. [2]

Singles

YG released the album's lead single, "Laugh Now Kry Later!", on May 1, 2020, alongside the official music video. The album's original title was supposed to be the same name as the single. [3] The second single, "FTP", which stands for "Fuck the Police", a protest single supporting the protests related to the Black Lives Matter movement, was released on June 2, 2020, in coincidence with Blackout Tuesday.

Commercial performance

In the United States, My Life 4Hunnid debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200 with 64,000 album-equivalent units, which included 40,000 pure album sales (a majority of which were paired with bundles from his 4 Hunnid clothing line). [4]
