In 2008, Tyga inked a recording deal with Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records, and Republic Records following a string of independent releases. The popular singles “Rack City,” “Faded” (with Lil Wayne), “Far Away” (featuring Chris Richardson), “Still Got It” (featuring Drake), and “Make It Nasty” were all featured on his major label debut, Careless World: Rise of the Last King, which was released in 2011.
