Micheal Ray Stevenson, professionally known as Tyga, is a renowned American rapper born on November 19, 1989. Tyga, which is a backronym for Thank You God Always, gained recognition after signing a recording contract with Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment in 2008. His major label debut album, ‘Careless World: Rise of the Last King’ released in 2012, achieved platinum certification by the RIAA and peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 chart. The album received critical acclaim and produced hit singles such as ‘Rack City’ and ‘Faded’ featuring Lil Wayne. Tyga’s musical journey continued with albums like ‘Hotel California’ in 2013 and collaborations like ‘Fan of a Fan: The Album’ with Chris Brown in 2015.
Despite disagreements with Young Money, Tyga released his fourth album ‘The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty’ independently in 2015. Produced by Kanye West, the album had lower-than-expected sales figures. His subsequent albums, ‘BitchImTheShit2’ in 2017 and ‘Kyoto’ in 2018, faced challenges in making a significant impact. However, Tyga’s single ‘Taste’ featuring Offset in May 2018 marked a momentary return to commercial success, earning diamond certification by the RIAA. This success paved the way for his seventh album ‘Legendary’ in 2019, continuing his musical evolution and contribution to the hip-hop industry.
