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.

Oh Lord, Jetson made another one
Got a brand new pendant, I think I paid over for it (over for it)
I'm starting to think that I pay over for your love (your love)
I'm fresh as hell, yeah, that's your loss, I ain't no scrub (I ain't no scrub)
I was falling in love with you, I ain't take you as no dub (ain't as no dub)
You something else (uh), you don't know what to do with yourself (you don't)
But I just wanna wrap you up and hold you in my arms for the night
You been gone for so long, let's celebrate that we unite
I hit you up, you said don't call you, that was hurtful (that was hurtful)
I guess I figure after all I deserve you, hold up (I deserve you)
Been a thug, I swear I did not mean to hurt you (I didn't)
But look who we are, look what we built, now they can't search you
Accept all the pain up, it come to a C
Swear I can't wait to take you somewhere over the seas
Waitress gon' wait the table, during it, I be pouring up lean
Watching Mexico, Narcos while I'm rubbing your feet
She a real rough rider, let me get behind her
Put this dick inside her and she just want my title
I make her eat a Perc', fuck her, shawty a survivor (eat it up)
She a hood queen and her name is Ranada
She a real rough rider, let me get behind her
Put this dick inside her and she just want my title
I make her eat a Perc', fuck her, shawty a survivor
She a hood queen and her name is Ranada

I'm starting to think that I pay over for your love (your love)
I'm fresh as hell, yeah, that's your loss, I ain't no scrub (I ain't no scrub)
I was falling in love with you, I ain't take you as no dub (as no dub)
You something else (uh), you don't know what to do with yourself (you don't)
You grown, you don't need no help (you grown), my love is too heartfelt (uh)
But I just wanna wrap you up and hold you in my arms for the night
You been gone for so long, let's celebrate that we unite
Put a Patek on your arm, it brought tears to your eyes
That wasn't a gift, that was some shit to make it right, damn
Met up this morning but I'm still feeling like
Oh, you don't want me? I'm not perfect, I should die, damn
L, loyalty, love, love life
O, oh, I'm that nigga that they don't like
V, I be that nigga that's overtime
E, everyday life, we livin' life
Now take off, 'cause shawty bad, we livin' fast
And you can't tell her for to give up somethin' you never had
She a real rough rider, let me get behind her
Put this dick inside her and she just want my title
I make her eat a Perc', fuck her, shawty a survivor (eat it up)

She a real rough rider, let me get behind her
Put this dick inside her and she just want my title
