In June 2013, YG signed to Young Jeezy's CTE World. His 2013 single "My Nigga" featuring Jeezy and Rich Homie Quan has peaked at number 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming the highest charting song of his career. He then released the singles "Left, Right" and "Who Do You Love?" featuring Drake leading up to the release of his debut studio album. His debut album, My Krazy Life was released on March 18, 2014, by Pu$haz Ink, CTE World and Def Jam.
YG came up with the idea for Pu$haz Ink in September 2008 with friends Ace and PC. He later officially co-founded the record label with DJ Mustard.[20] Originally the "label" was used as a promotional tool and a brand for YG and DJ Mustard's group of rap collaborators they had grown up with. Then as YG, Ty Dolla Sign and DJ Mustard grew in popularity, they decided to officially form a record label for Pushaz Ink, including rappers RJ, Reem Riches, Tee Cee, and Slim 400. In June 2014 YG signed music producer Kidd Cole sources say.

In YG's song Scared Money, the rapper reflects on his success and makes observations on the behavior of those around him. The song includes a series of rhetorical questions, which the rapper uses to criticize certain behaviors he deems to lack authenticity. YG addresses the behavior of people who bring money to the club but don't spend it, flaunt themselves on social media but don't deliver in person, and those who betray their gang to no avail. The rapper also boasts about his wealth and success, proclaiming his importance in VIP and his love for material possessions, such as his choice of Glock.
In the second verse, YG talks about his experience being a successful rapper and gaining attention from popular media outlets. He compares himself to basketball phenom Luka Dončić and emphasizes his loyal affiliation with his gang. YG also compares his YG sneakers to Louboutin kicks, highlighting his dominance in the fashion industry.
The bridge of the song emphasizes the central theme: YG highlights that scared money doesn't produce any profits, while justifying his own lavish lifestyle. The song finishes with YG boasting about his success with women and how he talks “country,” which some can see as a nod to his Southern Californian roots.
