Compton, CA - 

YG is doing his part to put to bed years of bad blood in his hometown of Compton.

On Sunday (August 18), the Kommunity Service rapper led a peace walk through the streets of the Southern California city in a bid to promote peace and unity between two of its 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 hit the pavement in hopes of ending 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.

This isn’t the first time that YG has shown his socially conscious side. The 4Hunnid honcho 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.

Meanwhile, he isn’t the only rapper who has attempted to bring peace to the birthplace of the Bloods and the Crips this year.

In June, Kendrick Lamar ended his historic Pop Out concert in Inglewood in powerful fashion by sharing the stage with members of various rival gangs.

“Aye, we ain’t never had this. We put this shit all together for muthafuckin’ peace,” K. Dot told the crowd while celebrating the moment. “This shit is making me emotional, man. We’ve been fucked up since Nipsey died. We’ve been fucked up since Kobe died.

“Let the world see this. You ain’t seen this many sections on one stage keeping it together and having peace.”
