'No Introduction' will be released on Pete Wentz's (Fall Out Boy) label Decaydance through Travis McCoy's (Gym Class Heroes) imprint Bat Squad. The 18 year old artist was named "One of the Best Undiscovered Rappers in America" by Vibe Magazine and MTV News declared Tyga "the hottest export out of Compton since NWA."

The first single off the album is "Coconut Juice" and it is already invading homes everywhere by way of heavy video play on TV and the web. Featuring cameos by Travis McCoy, Lil' Wayne, and Pete Wentz, the video for "Coconut Juice" has truly become an online sensation having amassed THREE MILLION impressions online in less than 1 month. "Coconut Juice" is a bouncy and infectious summer anthem that is an undeniable smash. The song has sold over 30,000 digital tracks in only 4 weeks and has been added to regular rotations on dozens of Crossover and Top-40 stations.

Tyga's hip hop roots blend with a pop/rock vibe to make his album a stand out in today's cluttered musical landscape. He says, "The best advice I've ever given anyone is to be yourself and that's exactly what I did with this album. I've made music all of my life and I have definitely tried to present a fresh and new sound that's never been heard. If other rappers albums are like one big bag of regular potato chips, I'm trying to give people the variety pack - bbq, ranch, salt n vinegar, everything. There's something for everyone - Enjoy The Chips!"

Additional contagious tracks on "No Introduction" include "AIM," which talks about how technology is the new form of communication. Tyga raps, "She don't know me by my name, she just knows me by my AIM," this song is sure to become the ultimate social networking page pick. "Diamond Life," which touches on Tyga's life as part of Hollywood's elite crowd and the hardships he has overcome to get there has already been selected to be a featured song in XBOX 360's highly anticipated NFL Madden 2009.
Tyga's live show has also garnered rave reviews since his breakout performance earlier this month at the Bamboozle Festival where Rollingstone online selected him as "one of five breakout artists" from the festival. Tyga's hectic touring schedule from now till the end of the summer will include high profile radio shows for stations such as KYLD/San Francisco, HOT-97/New York (‘Summer Jam') and KZZP/Phoenix, as well as dates on the Ying Yang Twins' national tour scheduled to begin mid July. Record release parties have also been scheduled during the first two weeks of release in New York, Cleveland, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Tyga will kick off the release of "No Introduction" with his debut appearance on MTV's ‘TRL' show June 10th.
