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.

Mm-hmm
Mm-mm
Say my prayers, so I know I'm protected soon as I walk in
Seemin' like that I'm the one that they don't wanna see win
I need my brother, just like my backbone, you more than my friend
Who gone be here by the time my bag gone? Hope more than my kids
Gunnin' for your love like a touchdown
Baby girl, you good, it's just us now
Full of drugs, seem I'm stranded with no trust found
I'd go crazy if I couldn't buy you a bustdown
You get it, a married woman need they riches
I feel it, I had to go hard for her to get it
I just left, I ain't comin' right back
Got off my ass got straight to business
I'm so up, don't wanna go back
I don't want no straps inside this Bentley
They don't wanna give me a chance
They say that I promote the killin'
It's too bad, I really speak it
It's too bad, I really live it
Catch my cut, can't throw dat glizzy
Me and Ben10 jumpin' fences
Take his sack and leave that pendant
Said I'm with you, then I meant it
Hold on, crossroad, that shit gon' cost all 'em
Whenever I go just make sure you don't fall for 'em
Step on him 'bout my bros, Lord knows I don't wan' lose none
I'm ready for you to come home, soon as the truth come
Say my prayers, so I know I'm protected soon as I walk in
Seemin' like that I'm the one that they don't wanna see win
I need my brother, just like my backbone, you more than my friend
Who gone be here by the time my bag gone? Hope more than my kids
Gunnin' for your love like a touchdown
Baby girl, you good, it's just us now
Full of drugs, seem I'm stranded with no trust found
I'd go crazy if I couldn't buy you a bustdown
Feel if I ain't had it, you wouldn't be with me
You gon' go and be with a nigga who would provide you with it
Screamin' "fuck yo brother," yeah, who's side you pickin'?
I feel I'm right, so I don't give a fuck about which way it go
Make my way through the night, I cannot pace slow
All this shit been crazy, I think 'bout Draco
You lied, ain't to my face, it's straight to my soul
Pussy-ass nigga ain't safe, gon' get his head blown
Grew up havin' to play inside that red zone
Send one, I'm sendin' it back, we call that ping-pong
I lay alone, kickin' it back, tryna get my head on
I got nothin' but meds in my Styrofoam
I'll be patchin' up my pain 'til I'm dead and gone
Gunnin' for your love like a touchdown
Baby girl, you good, it's just us now
Full of drugs, seem I'm stranded with no trust found
I'd go crazy if I couldn't buy you a bustdown
Say my prayers, so I know I'm protected soon as I walk in
Seemin' like that I'm the one that they don't wanna see win
I need my brother, just like my backbone, you more than my friend
Who gone be here by the time my bag gone? Hope more than my kids
Who gone be here by the time my bag gone? Hope more than my kids
