HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Epic / EPIC Day Sulan came to win. The first lady of YG’s 4Hunnid collective asserts that victory is the only thing on her mind these days and with the recent release of the imprint’s first collaborative project, Gang Affiliated, the 24-year-old Compton native is primed and ready to go.
