AceShowbiz - YG wasn't happy when he found out that his album "My Krazy Life" was nowhere to be seen in the Best Rap Album category of the 2015 Grammy Awards. After the nominees were announced on Friday, December 5, he responded to the snub by debuting online a new song called "2015 Flow".
The track was the rapper's collaboration with hitmaker DJ Mustard who's also pissed for not being nominated for Producer of the Year. On it, YG talks about his own album and the accolades he received for the hit singles off the record.
"It's that Silicon Valley flow/ I got that Sundance Vision, n***a you ain't know/ God damn, I got album of the year still/ Three plaques in/ Imagine how these wack rappers feel," he raps before telling fans he'll be cooking up new material in the studio and making hits next year.
YG's "My Krazy Life" was released back in March and peaked at No. 2 on Billboard 200 chart. It earned generally positive reviews from critics. Some even considered it as one of the best rap albums of 2014.
The album, however, failed to appear alongside Iggy Azalea's "The New Classic", Eminem's "MMLP2" and Wiz Khalifa's "Blacc Hollywood" in the Best Rap Album category.

"Grammy's 2014 best rap albums. No YG tho? Lol wtf," he wrote on Twitter after the announcement. His collaborator, DJ Mustard also vented his frustration over the snub on social media, taking to Instagram to post a screenshot of a fan's message that read, "So @DJmustard doesn't get nominated for Producer of the Year after having 10 Gold & Platinum records this year and creating a new sound?"
