Philly rapper LG has unveiled the music video for her hit song “YBM.” LG’s most recent track and video “YBM” (Young Black Militia) can be described as a movement song that covers the different aspects of Black culture. The track touches on the BLM movement and police brutality while reminding listeners of the dance culture and hip hop that is present in the Black community, teaching young listeners to embrace their blackness and guide this new generation onto a path where they no longer fall in line, but lead with ambition to make changes for the better.
LG’s track “YBM” has garnered over 6.1M plays on TikTok and her track “Level Up” has also been featured on the Space Jam 2 trailer. On the East Coast, LG has been featured on stations such as Hot97, Power99 FM, and 1039 Hip Hop.
LG’s musical background began from a young age and stems from her mother’s love for music. Her mother would create raps for LG to perform which would then encourage LG to dive deeper into music. At the age of 6 she learned the drums and piano and by age 12, she was recording her own music, sometimes recording up to 8 songs a day. LG’s goal in music is to push people to do and achieve more with their lives. She says:
“Music is a great way to get lost in a different world. I think this project isn’t so much about getting lost in the music, but tapping into your passion for what you want and using that to focus on accomplishing the goals you’ve set or the things you aspire to do.”
While her music has capturing beats and dynamic sounds, LG’s music is a reminder that every step is an opportunity to succeed.
