Posted by Los Angeles, CA – Tattoos are synonymous with Hip Hop culture and rappers always love to get fresh ink. YG, who already has a boatload of tattoos, recently got a new piece done in memory of his fallen friend Slim 400.
The Compton rapper got the tattoo done over the weekend and took to his Instagram Story to give fans a close-up look at the new art. The tattoo is on YG’s calf muscle and shows a picture of Slim 400 wearing a red bandana.
“@slim400blk brazy blood, love you P Treez!” he captioned the post.

Slim 400 was shot and killed in Inglewood, California in December 2021. The late rapper was best known for his long-running affiliation with YG, and appeared on tracks such as “Twist My Fingaz,” “When I Was Gone” and “Word Is Bond.” He also released several solo projects including 2016’s All Blassik, 2019’s High Off TTreez and this year’s BompTTon.
The Compton native survived a previous attempt on his life in 2018 when he was shot eight times in a drive-by shooting. Slim was rushed to St. Francis Medical Center in Los Angeles and underwent multiple surgeries before making a successful recovery.
