By no means is “Ride For (My Nigga)” a new song; it was featured on the Corporate Thuggin’ Entertainment #ItsThaWorld EP. However, it is fitting as YG just inked a deal with Young Jeezy‘s collective, adding a replacement for Freddie Gibbs, who left a few months back.

The DJ Mustard produced track functions as the West Coast rapper’s official single. Featuring Jeezy and Riche Homie Quan, who is heating up the South, the track is filled with loyal rhymes over Mustard’s distinct sound.
