Rapper YG only just released his debut album, My Krazy Life, in March. In the summer of 2013, however, he garnered more than 75 million views on YouTube with his single “My Nigga.” You could say he has a following. For someone who’s not even old enough to rent a car, YG has already worked with quite the hip-hop roster: Jeezy, Rich Homie Quan, Ty Dolla $ign and Drake. YG brings his My Krazy Life Tour to Dusk nightclub (44 E. 7th) 9 pm Thursday, May 15. In a recent interview with BET, YG’s mom (who opens up his album with “Momma Speech Intro”) recalls her son’s dedication to skateboarding. Afterparty at the WJ Skatepark?

Eugene’s “local hero of saxophone” and origami artist Tomo Tsurumi is recovering at RiverBend from a serious bicycle accident in which he was hit by a car in early May. Tsurumi was wearing a helmet and suffered no brain trauma and is able to walk, but the impact caused several fractures to the face and neck. Tsurumi passed a message to EW through his partner Liliana Darwin López: Always wear a helmet and drivers — share the road.  Learn how to support Tsurumi in his recovery here. Downtown won’t be as vibrant until we hear the sounds of his sax again.
