YG‘s latest project Just Re’d 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 YG’s 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 “My N-gga” and “Who Do You Love?” as well as a star-studded supporting cast that included Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Jeezy.
The 4Hunnid honcho also cracked the top five with 2018’s Stay Dangerous and 2020’s 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 city’s rival gangs.

YG was joined by members of the Treetop Pirus and Fruit Town Pirus, as well as fellow Compton rapper The Game, as he sought to end the years-long feud between the warring Bloods factions.
“We came together. My hood and the Fruit Town Pirus across the street, we’ve 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,” he told a reporter (via TMZ).
He added: “We all from Piru so we don’t really need to be beefing with each other. We’ve been doing that shit for years so it’s time to like… if we can clean it, clean it up. There’s been a lot of conversations about that shit so I put some energy towards it and we got it right.”
YG also celebrated the lack of “negative shit” and police intervention, saying: “It’s successful. All love and positive. We outside.”

The group even broke bread (literally) while marching in the sunny California sun, swinging by Tam’s Burgers — the Compton spot made internationally famous thanks to Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us” video — for a bite to eat.
YG previously showed his socially conscious side when he famously released the Donald Trump protest anthem “FDT” in 2016 and dropped the similarly titled, N.W.A-inspired “FTP” (short for “Fuck the Police”) four years later following the death of George Floyd.
