One of Los Angeles’ most popular rappers took time to give back to young Angelenos this weekend.

Grammy-nominated and multi-platinum rapper YG held a back-to-school drive in L.A. Sunday, where families in need were gifted backpacks full of essential school supplies.

In addition, several of the event’s sponsors made donations, such as clothing brand Ethika, who donated apparel so that students can look fresh for the upcoming school year.

The drive also provided over 2,000 boxes of food for families in partnership with Los Angeles Mission.

Attendees also had the chance to enter raffle giveaways; prizes included a new laptop, gaming chair, tickets to Lakers and Clippers games and more. The crowd was also treated to a hip-hop dance performance by Tommy the Clown and even got to hold exotic reptiles brought by Wildlife People.
