YGM, a record label rooted in the streets of Little Rock, Arkansas, is closely linked with a local gang known as Y'z. This group has affiliations with well-known gangs such as the Bloods, Crips, and Folks, as well as lesser-known entities like "FTS" (Fo The Savages) and "DMG" (Dirty Money Gang). They often declare their hostility towards rivals through terms like YGMK and Y'zK. Predominantly active in South, East, and North Little Rock, YGM stands for "YungNs Gettin Money."
Among the notable artists within YGM are Jay, KD, and HotHead. The rest of their group, referred to as Y'z, are considered enforcers and known colloquially as shooters. The gang's identity is often signified by the colors red, gold, and black, and their members are commonly seen wearing hoods paired with hats or ski masks.
Y'z has been involved in numerous street altercations with a rival gang called "DartGang" (DBG), and they have been known to disrespect deceased members of DBG in their lyrics. The group's influence extends beyond Arkansas, with connections to Chicago's "Reese" from TYMB and "HotHead," as well as purported ties to Flint and Detroit.
Despite the violent lifestyle, they pay homage to their fallen members, maintaining a sense of loyalty and remembrance within their community.
