YGās latest project Just Reād Up 3 has made a rather disappointing debut on the Billboard 200.
Despite being supported by numerous singles and boasting collaborations with the likes of Mustard, Lil Yachty, Saweetie, Ty Dolla $ign and G Herbo, the mixtape landed at number 151 on the albums chart.

While Billboard has yet to publish official numbers, Akademiks reports that the double disc project mustered just 8,000 equivalent sales in its first week.
These figures represent the lowest chart position and sales tally of YGās career since he first cracked the Billboard 200 with his debut album My Krazy Life in 2014.

That project reached number two on the chart, bolstered by the hit singles āMy N-ggaā and āWho Do You Love?ā as well as a star-studded supporting cast that included Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Jeezy.
The 4Hunnid honcho also cracked the top five with 2018ās Stay Dangerous and 2020ās My Life 4Hunnid but has largely struggled to replicate the success of My Krazy Life, with his previous LP I Got Issues peaking at number 18.

Despite the lackluster performance of his latest project, YG has been trying his best to prop up his community of late.
Earlier this month, the father of two led a peace walk through the streets of his hometown of Compton in a bid to promote peace and unity between two of the cityās rival gangs.

YG was joined by members of the Treetop Pirus and Fruit Town Pirus, as well as fellow Compton rapperĀ The Game, as he sought to end the years-long feud between the warring Bloods factions.
āWe came together. My hood and the Fruit Town Pirus across the street, weāve been at war for, like, the last 10 years. We just enemies. So I felt like we all needed to come together and walk down our main street,ā he told a reporter (viaĀ TMZ).
He added: āWe all from Piru so we donāt really need to be beefing with each other. Weāve been doing that shit for years so itās time to likeā¦ if we can clean it, clean it up. Thereās been a lot of conversations about that shit so I put some energy towards it and we got it right.ā
YG also celebrated the lack of ānegative shitā and police intervention, saying: āItās successful. All love and positive. We outside.ā

The group even broke bread (literally) while marching in the sunny California sun, swinging by Tamās Burgers ā the Compton spot made internationally famous thanks toĀ Kendrick LamarāsĀ āNot Like Usā videoĀ ā for a bite to eat.
YG previously showed his socially conscious side when he famously released the Donald Trump protest anthem āFDTā in 2016 and dropped the similarly titled,Ā N.W.A-inspired āFTPā (short for āFuck the Policeā) four years later following the death of George Floyd.
