YoungBoy started writing and making music around the age of fourteen, eventually dropping his first mixtape Life Before Fame in April of 2015.
YoungBoy started to gain recognition when he dropped his projects Mind Of A Menace 3, Before I Go, and 38 Baby, but gained the most recognition for his hit song “38 Baby.”
Shortly after the success of “38 Baby” Young Boy was arrested on November 28, 2016, and was charged with two counts of attempted second-degree murder in connection with a drive-by shooting which occurred November 7, 2016. YoungBoy ended up being sentenced to a ten-year suspended prison sentence after serving six months in prison.
After YoungBoy was released from jail, he dropped “Untouchable” which is one of his biggest hits to date. Following the release of “Untouchable,” YoungBoy released AI YoungBoy on August 4, 2017.
Later on, in 2017 YoungBoy ended the year by dropping Ain’t Too Long and started 2018 by releasing his debut studio album, Until Death Call My Name.
Nowadays YoungBoy has come up with more famous tracks such as “Drawing Symbols,” “Lil Top,” “House Arrest Tingz” and “Around”. These have appeared on albums as AI Youngboy II, Still Flexin', Still Steppin' and Top.
On March 25, 2021, the rapper was taken into custody by the FBI on an outstanding federal warrant for drug and weapon charges which date back to 2016. While locked up, YoungBoy’s team released the rapper’s third studio album, Sincerely, Kentrell, on September 24, 2021: it was originally set to be released in May of the same year. Nearly a month after, on October 22, YoungBoy was released from jail on a $500K bond and is currently placed on house arrest in Utah.
Ending 2021, YoungBoy partnered with the fellow Louisiana native, Birdman to present the two artists' joint mixtape, From The Bayou which would peak at #19 on the Billboard 200.
Beginning 2022 to a ferocious start, YoungBoy would begin to diss King Von on songs such as “Bring The Hook,” and “Fish Scale.” These songs would soon appear on YoungBoy’s eighteenth mixtape, Colors which would later peak at #2 on the Billboard 200.
Later in the year, just a month afterward, YoungBoy would find himself in a viral controversy with the Chicago native, Lil Durk as both of them exchanged brutal disses from Durk’s “AHHH HA,” to YoungBoy’s “I Hate YoungBoy” — both regarding the death of King Von.
Following his hastily start to 2022, YoungBoy would partner up with DaBaby to present the duo’s joint mixtape, BETTER THAN YOU in March. The mixtape would later peak at #10 on the Billboard 200, this would mark YoungBoy’s ninth top ten.
On April 1, 2022, continuing his victorious run, YoungBoy would release The Last Slimeto Sampler, a sample album for his August release, The Last Slimeto. This album would mark YoungBoy’s final album with Atlantic Records.
On July 15, 2022, YoungBoy was found not guilty of his federal guns charge. In a interview on Instagram, YoungBoy announced that he and his team were planning to go on tour.
As planned, on August 5, 2022, YoungBoy released The Last Slimeto which would mark his last album with Atlantic Records, completing the contract. The album would also peak at #1 on the Billboard 200 marking his fifth #1 album. The project would also break a tie with Taylor Swift as it scored a #1 album in each of the past four years.
On September 6, 2022, YoungBoy released Realer 2 as a surprise release, it is presented as a sequel to his December 2018, Realer. Just over a month following the release of Realer 2, YoungBoy released the Juvenile-influenced mixtape, 3800 Degrees which would peak at #12 on the Billboard 200. Two weeks prior to the release of 3800 Degrees, YoungBoy would release yet another mixtape hosted by DJ Drama as a part of his Gangsta Grillz series titled Ma’ I Got A Family.
Through Billboard, on October 24, 2022, it was announced that following YoungBoy’s departure from Atlantic Records, beginning 2023, he would release music under a joint venture deal between his own Never Broke Again and Motown Records.

Yeah
I wonder if Lil Tug and Jordan can hear me
I ain't got much to give
Barely seen love, seem like the fake be the first thing appear
I ain't never takin' back what I said, not even once I'm killed
I don't wanna do it, now they say I'm wrong and I'm who kept it real
I just wanna turn this shit around, now that I see it clear
They took the soul from Boozilla
Killed Lil Dave when I was little
Since the time I ain't found forgiveness
That shit turned me into a killer
Came from sellin' drugs with my nigga
Went and found a thousand ways to get it
They done found a thousand ways to down me
I don't give a fuck 'cause now I don't feel 'em
I ain't have a thing when I was a lil' one
Whatever my children want they gettin' it
I done lost my patience in that prison
I done lost my cadence, cases pendin'
I can see the fakeness, faces grinnin'
Can see that they don't want me in it
If I can't trust her, I can't love her
I done walked away from plenty
See me go, as I fly away from these niggas
They just want to keep up in my business, I say fuck 'em
They don't need me, no
I'm wastin' time on these bitches
I'm wastin' time, soon as I trust 'em I'm in trouble
This a deserved Bentley
This that new hustle hard edition, I say swerve in it
Come up from hustle, heart of trenches, blew out curbs in it
They feel like I done lost my mind and I feel tempted
I feel like they want to keep me down and I'm still winnin'
And I'm still in it, leavin' richer than I came in
With two new hoes, for every one bitch got my name bent
Smile through it all, they still ain't askin' where my pain went
Or even if it left, it never did, I ain't gotta frame shit
After all it's still the same shit, after all I still ain't gain shit
Now you blamin' me and I caught you first
I ain't with' all this lil' game shit
Been with you, I ain't seein' the same bitches
Say it ain't true, you engaged in it
Had a broken heart and I played in it
And now I got this cage feelin'
I said, see me go, as I fly away from these niggas
They just want to keep up in my business, I say fuck 'em
They don't need me, no
I'm wastin' time on these bitches
I'm wastin' time, soon as I trust 'em I'm in trouble
I'm in trouble nigga, I can't
I can't, I can't trust neither one of them, none of 'em
They got, they got me with a cage feelin' or some shit, all this shit
But you know, you know I'm holdin' up
I'm holdin' up longer than a, longer than a bridge ,nigga
That's who I'm is
Longer than a bridge, believe that
The lyrics to "Cage Feeling" by YoungBoy Never Broke Again explore the singer's experiences with betrayal, forgiveness, and his determination to overcome obstacles and rise above the negativity surrounding him.
In the first verse, YoungBoy reflects on his past and how he hasn't received much love. He acknowledges that fake people are often the first to appear in his life. Despite not wanting to engage in negative actions, he feels misunderstood and criticized. However, he is now determined to turn his life around and see things clearly.
The second verse delves into the pain and trauma YoungBoy has experienced. The mention of Boozilla and Lil Dave refers to individuals who have had their souls taken away or lost their lives, causing a profound impact on YoungBoy's outlook on forgiveness and turning him into someone willing to defend himself. The lyrics also depict his journey from selling drugs to finding different ways to make money. There is a sense of resentment towards those who have attempted to bring him down, but he no longer cares about their opinions.

I wonder if Lil Tug and Jordan can hear me
I'm curious if my deceased friends can hear my thoughts
I ain't got much to give
I don't have much to offer or provide
Barely seen love, seem like the fake be the first thing appear
I rarely experience genuine love, it often seems like fake love is the first thing to show up
I ain't never takin' back what I said, not even once I'm killed
I will never retract or deny what I've said, even after I'm dead
I don't wanna do it, now they say I'm wrong and I'm who kept it real
I didn't want to engage in certain actions, but now people claim I'm wrong despite being true to myself
I just wanna turn this shit around, now that I see it clear
I simply desire to change my circumstances now that I have a clear understanding of the situation
They took the soul from Boozilla
Someone robbed Boozilla of his spirit or essence
Killed Lil Dave when I was little
When I was young, I witnessed the murder of Lil Dave
Since the time I ain't found forgiveness
Since then, I haven't been able to find forgiveness
That shit turned me into a killer
That experience transformed me into a violent individual
Came from sellin' drugs with my nigga
I originated from the drug dealing lifestyle with my close friend
Went and found a thousand ways to get it
I explored numerous methods to make money illegally
They done found a thousand ways to down me
They have discovered countless ways to criticize or belittle me
I don't give a fuck 'cause now I don't feel 'em
I don't care anymore because I don't feel affected by their opinions
I ain't have a thing when I was a lil' one
I didn't possess anything when I was young
Whatever my children want they gettin' it
I'll provide whatever my children desire
I done lost my patience in that prison
I have lost my patience during my time in prison
I done lost my cadence, cases pendin'
I have lost my rhythm or flow, as legal cases are pending against me
I can see the fakeness, faces grinnin'
I can perceive the insincerity, seeing smiling faces hiding their true intentions
Can see that they don't want me in it
I can perceive that they don't want me to be involved
If I can't trust her, I can't love her
If I am unable to trust a person, I cannot love them
I done walked away from plenty
I have distanced myself from many individuals
See me go, as I fly away from these niggas
Observe me leaving, as I escape from these individuals
They just want to keep up in my business, I say fuck 'em
They only want to involve themselves in my affairs, but I don't care about them
I'm wastin' time on these bitches
I am spending unnecessary time on these women
Soon as I trust 'em I'm in trouble
As soon as I start trusting them, I end up facing difficulties
This a deserved Bentley
This Bentley is something I have rightfully earned
This that new hustle hard edition, I say swerve in it
This is the latest version of hustling hard, and I excel at it
Come up from hustle, heart of trenches, blew out curbs in it
I grew up in the heart of the struggle, overcoming obstacles and surpassing expectations
They feel like I done lost my mind and I feel tempted
They believe I have gone insane, and I am enticed by their thoughts
I feel like they want to keep me down and I'm still winnin'
I sense their desire to oppress me, but I continue to succeed
And I'm still in it, leavin' richer than I came in
Despite everything, I am still involved and leaving with more wealth than I started
With two new hoes, for every one bitch got my name bent
I have two new attractive women for every previous one who was obsessed with me
Smile through it all, they still ain't askin' where my pain went
I maintain a smile despite everything, yet they don't inquire about my emotional suffering
Or even if it left, it never did, I ain't gotta frame shit
Even if the pain appeared to disappear, it never truly did, and I don't need to fabricate anything
After all it's still the same shit, after all I still ain't gain shit
In the end, everything remains unchanged, and I haven't gained anything
Now you blamin' me and I caught you first
You are accusing me, but I am the one who discovered your wrongdoing
I ain't with' all this lil' game shit
I'm not interested in participating in these petty games
Been with you, I ain't seein' the same bitches
Despite being in a relationship with you, I haven't encountered the same kind of women
Say it ain't true, you engaged in it
You deny the truth, but you were actively involved in it
Had a broken heart and I played in it
I had a shattered heart, but I still engaged in relationships
And now I got this cage feelin'
Now I have this feeling of being trapped or confined
I'm in trouble nigga, I can't
I'm facing difficulties, man, I can't handle it
I can't, I can't trust neither one of them, none of 'em
I cannot place my trust in any of them, none at all
They got, they got me with a cage feelin' or some shit, all this shit
They have trapped me or put me in a state of confinement with all this nonsense
But you know, you know I'm holdin' up
But you know, you know I'm managing to endure
I'm holdin' up longer than a, longer than a bridge, nigga
I'm managing to endure for an extended period, just like a bridge, man
That's who I'm is
That is my true identity
Longer than a bridge, believe that
Believe that, I'm able to endure for a long time, just like a bridge
