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.

Hell nah, baby girl that's rude, please do not be disrespectful
She like, "Youngboy I got a question, can you tell me somethin'?"
She like, "If I do anything you want, can I be your main one?"
Hell nah, that's aggravatin', catch me when I'm perculatin'
Let her know I had that placement
Wanna be me, that's impersonatin'
All these nigga be perpertratin'
Check my watch that's Rollie skatin'
All these niggas just act like Satan
'Til a real demon baby catch 'em and face 'em
Catch me in that turbo, I be swervin'

Bitch, I know your daddy and your granny know I is (yeah, ha)
Bitch, I got that stack (ha)
Motherfuck your brother (ha)
Put his head on flat (ha)
The lyrics to YoungBoy Never Broke Again's song How Ya Know are revealing about his mentality towards love, money and women. In the first verse, YoungBoy questions how this woman knows she is in love with him because he does not reciprocate these feelings. Instead, he is only interested in making money and his material belongings. The woman tries to win him over by tempting him with sexual acts but it does not work as YoungBoy is not interested in being tied down. He further states that he is not interested in anyone that tries to imitate him or his lifestyle. He places importance on his possessions and his status which is indicated with his mention of his Rollie and the fact that he has a lot of money to hand out. The chorus reiterates his stance on love versus money, stating that he loves his material possessions more than a woman's love.
In the second verse, YoungBoy talks about his day to day activities, showing how his life is primarily based on his interests. He seems to be having a lot of down time, playing video games and making music. He mentions that he has a lot of money, as seen in his diamond chains, rings and AP on his arm. Yet, despite his wealth, he is still searching for love but is only interested in it if it is only about sex.
Overall, the song How Ya Know reveals YoungBoy Never Broke Again's disinterest in being tied down by love or relationships. He is only focused on himself, his possessions and his material wealth, as well as his hobbies, such as video games and music making. This puts up an interesting juxtaposition with the woman in question, who seems to be throwing herself at him despite his lack of interest in relationships.
