Tyga has been getting quite the attention with his surprise mixtape success "Rack City," and it seems like the perfect time to release his Young Money debut, Careless World.  Unfortunately, the Cali emcee's album has been pushed back yet again (it was originally slated for a December 20th release) to an unknown time early this year April 24th.

Careless World is rumored to feature artists ranging from Young Money diva Nicki Minaj and Big Sean to QB's finest, Nas.  For now, keep rapping "Rack City" with your grandma and Careless World will be here before you know it.

Last month, a not so safe for work music video for Tyga's smash "Rack City" dropped, which captured the true purpose of the raunchy track.  Since the song's become way more mainstream now, he's got a video that could actually see the light of day on BET.  Watch below as he traded in the women for video games on this Grand Theft Auto inspired music video for "Rack City."
