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.

(DMac on the fuckin' track)
Got you, you know I got you
He ain't seein' me walk out, don't think for to leave
Anything we can talk 'bout, you can tell me some things
You think I'm too thugged out, my past too uneasy
Tonight you should go out, it's okay if you leave me
It's okay, I'll be fine, can't run away
So, I just lay here gettin' full of drank
Now you come in, put that pussy on my face
I want a brand new FN, motherfuck that Drac'
Tote that stick, I'm with that shit, I'm gon' protect you, bae
Whole lotta money on they head, it ain't safe
I just wanna put that bitch to bed, if he play
Rundown, shoot him in his head
Hit a lick for Jordan, now I don't mind we ain't kicked
Gettin' my life in order, gettin' in line with that bread
Count me out, tell them get in line with they ass
I been gettin' that money, they want me sad or me dead
Ran into love, come from cold heart
Ran up a bag, you was slow startin'
I want a Porsche, and it's push-start
I drive that Benz like a go-kart
I repair that girl with my hands, from a broke heart
I been fuckin' up and goin' in like a pop star
She'll pour my life on me, do right, I swear, I'm gon' start
She know I'm a demon, day through night, and this ain't just start
I made her my wife and then I promised we won't grow apart
He ain't seein' me walk out, don't think for to leave
Anything we can talk 'bout, you can tell me some things
You think I'm too thugged out, my past too uneasy
Tonight you should go out, it's okay if you leave me
'Cause I don't wanna party
It's okay, I'll be fine, can't run away
So, I just lay here gettin' full of drank
Now you come in, put that pussy on my face
Come up from the bottom, ain't nothin' that's gon' stop me
I been destined to prosper, I put that on my mama
I been missin' my childhood, told my family I got 'em
On my back like a chopper
I can't die, I'm survivin'
I done let go the wheel, like I just know it's God drivin'
But I mostly, for surely know, that it's my grandma who got me
And I been savin' words for a note
I ain't ignoring you, just catch me when I blow
Got you, you know I got you
