Mini bio
How it started.
Tyga told Rain that he wrote his first rap at 12, then recorded himself and made beats after school. He packaged his own mixtapes and handed out CDs around Los Angeles, including malls, barbershops and Melrose. Giving a CD to Travie McCoy helped him make the connection that led to meeting Lil Wayne at 17.
Finding his audience.
His debut album No Introduction arrived in 2008, the year he signed with Young Money. Careless World: Rise of the Last King followed in 2012 and reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200. Its single “Rack City” reached the Hot 100 top ten.
Songs to come back to.
His catalog includes “Taste” with Offset, “Ayo” with Chris Brown and the 2019 album Legendary. In 2023 he and YG released Hit Me When U Leave The Klub: The Playlist. NSFW followed in 2025, and the ten-song $TARFACE project arrived in July 2026.
