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 (pussy ass niggas they be hatin')
(Hoes still ain't safe)
Ayy, say man these hoes in here tryna turn down my vibes or whatever
(Hoes know they hate)
Ayy, you know I had to turn up my hood right (Slime)
Body after body on these bitch-ass niggas
Walk-up at Saks and spent eighty grand
It won't be the opps (it won't)
Broke-ass nigga startin' to diss, he a fan
Tell the young nigga just stop (oh)
And I been gettin' money since I learned that I can
Tell me one nip, who held me down (?)
I be switchin' up the mode on horizon
Holdin' on to my pole on the side of the Bentley (yeah)
Different type of flex I don't need more cars (slidin')
Red, green flag, he a gang member (mine)
That's my brother, and I'ma paint with him
Hit a fuck nigga up, keep a stain with him (bah, bah)
You ain't finna score shit, shouldn't have came with him
Post up with the sticks, no gang switchin'
Snake-bitch, kill 'em all, they some lane switchers (kill 'em)
My clique'll send 'em all at your brain, nigga
Top of the business I got more points then a beanbag
Tighten your arm up, 'fore you shoot it loose, kickback
Layin' on my grave, nigga, chain we'll hit at (?)
Scary ass nigga, got no aim, how you miss that?
Murder through any hood, same with big hat
X shit, my lil' nigga Sewer bang Cartel
Right shit, talkin' to the killers up in Glendale
You ain't got to check shit that was a sent well
Count a million cash, got the time goin' slow (ooh, oh)
Drugs keep a nigga calm from the shit I've seen (seen)
Ridin' in a Wraith all through the night (Wraith)
Tell her to take the vibes
Upgraded my necklace, I'm keepin' it clean (clean, keepin' it clean)
Shorty want me, her ex fuck with my ex
First, first time, had to tell the queen, stop that
Boss up, 'cause I'm knowin' that you 'bout that
Can't let a nigga think you an outlet (nah)
It ain't nothin' you can't get, you a breadwinner (bread)
Took the heart out for K, left the head with her
Standin' on stage, in the back got the dead with 'em
Already got my niggas just stalkin', he a dead sitter
Before I departed away from my soul
Told you my son'll stay with 'em
He get chased in this bitch and get hit with the stick
Make sure that they lay in the grave with him
Came through, shots out cool
Home run, Top Babe Ruth
Keep your cool
Standin' on business, don't break no rules
Never for a penny
I ain't buyin' that cash, I get it rented
I be on they ass, so they barely in the city
I popped that boy, I'm mad I ain't finish
You a lizard for the lick, pussy-bitch you ain't beamin'
Count a million cash, got the time goin' slow (time goin' slow, oh-oh)
Drugs keep a nigga calm from the shit I've seen (shit I seen)
Ridin' in a Wraith all through the night (Wraith)
Tell her to take the vibes
Upgraded my necklace, I'm keepin' it clean (clean, yeah)
Shorty want me, her ex fuck with my ex
First, first time, had to tell the queen, stop that (girl, stop that)
Boss up, 'cause I'm knowin' that you 'bout that (gang-gang, you 'bout that)
Can't let a nigga think you an outlet (nah)
It ain't nothin' you can't get, you a breadwinner (bread)

Bitch, we on your ass
