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.

Ain't no goin' back, my nigga Wheezy on the track

Can I take a minute for to tell you how I'm living? Yeah
I'd rather show you, fuck the critics, I'ma try leave out the killing
Young nigga pull up in that Bentley with no head
This a motion picture from the trenches, check how a nigga kick it
For a lil' big benji, pop out, get wheelied, yeah
Whole lot of big benjis, fuck 'round, I spend it, yeah
Strapped down, I'm with it, fuck 'round and I hit it, yeah
Sending God my wishes, still got some pending, yeah
I'm with some hoes more realer than these niggas, and that's a fact
I'm with my bros more triller than these bitches, understand that
Youngin from the slums and he don't wanna tote no pistol, we ain't heard of that
I'ma let him play it, we coming from a pencil, he don't know 'bout a trap, nah
Get trapped in fucking with these hoes, she just want a baby
More deep into life, he worried 'bout his goals, she think it's crazy
All through the night, back to back hearin' them poles, this shit amazing
In his hood, he don't see no greatness, he gon' grow or let it faze him
Nigga fade him
Got some OG's in the hood gon' ride 'bout him
They like that he keep his head in them books so they won't let you slime 'bout him
Police probably slide on him
Only for to see if he got that fire on him
But youngin ain't gettin' that, he ain't feelin' that
So he learned to hide on 'em
Now let me tell you that I'm a different breed
Had my first baby at 16, no Plan B, I had one dream
And it was something like Luther King, wanted for to keep the peace but couldn't
Turned 17, 'fore you knew it, me and Ben was hopping from out of bushes
At them bitch ass niggas
Shit, you gon' die or you gon' take one? Nigga, what's your answer?
You up that fire, you better break one, nigga, what's the hassle?
Still to this day, I'm on FaceTime talkin' with the pastor
Like is they with me or against me, probably want me splattered
Can I take a minute for to tell you how I'm living? Yeah
I'd rather show you, fuck the critics, I'ma try leave out the killing
Young nigga pull up in that Bentley with no head
This a motion picture from the trenches, check how a nigga kick it
What you thinkin' 'bout, what you hearin' 'bout? I'ma see about it, nigga (I'm with you)
You got twenty on that nigga head, then make it forty, nigga
Shit, you know me still on dummy, I'll put a hundred, nigga
For to see you smile, I risk my life, that's on my mama, nigga
You was with me at rock bottom, nigga, I ain't forget it
When I wanted to slide, they ain't wan' drive me, nigga, and you was with it
When I was hollerin', "Who want problems?" You was holdin' up your semi
I kept on sayin' I'ma burn this bitch down, you was tellin' me, "Let's get it"
My day one, you my brother
And I love you to death
I'll never go against you
I ain't never put anything before you
Not these diamonds, not this money
Or neither these hoes, whatever goes
Can I take a minute for to tell you how I'm living? Yeah
I'd rather show you, fuck the critics, I'ma try leave out the killing
Young nigga pull up in that Bentley with no head
This a motion picture from the trenches, check how a nigga kick it
For a lil' big benji, pop out, get wheelied, yeah
Whole lot of big benjis, fuck 'round, I spend it, yeah
Strapped down, I'm with it, fuck 'round and I hit it, yeah
Sending God my wishes, still got some pending, yeah
Yeah, Wheezy laid the beat
I'm a slimeball for real

The song "Rebel's Kick It" by YoungBoy Never Broke Again tells a story of a young man who has experienced life in the trenches and how he still manages to live his life despite the difficulties. He does not want to carry a gun and believes in achieving his goals without resorting to violence. He is accompanied by people he considers his real friends who are more loyal and truer than the fake people surrounding him.
The opening lines of the song mention the producer, Wheezy, who has produced the track. The artist then talks about his life and how he lives it. He prefers not to tell people how he's living and wants to show it to them. He also wants to avoid violent crimes but rather focus on achieving his dreams. The song talks about being rich and spending money on material things such as a Bentley, but it also touches on the darker side of life, where he talks about wishing to God for his pending dreams.
The second verse of the song talks about the reality of the streets and the trap life. Young people get involved with guns and violence, and they do not have any goals for their future. YoungBoy Never Broke Again talks about a young man who is raised in the hood who does not wish to carry guns and how his friends and some of his neighbors support him.
Overall, the song's meaning is to show that despite the darkness in the "trenches," there are still people who would support and care for you. There are still people who want to live without violence and achieve their goals. The song carries a powerful message and is a testimony to the artist's own life experiences.

Now let me tell you that I'm a different breed
I'm unique and stand out from the crowd
Had my first baby at 16, no Plan B, I had one dream
I became a father at a young age, but still had dreams and goals for my future
And it was something like Luther King, wanted for to keep the peace but couldn't
I wanted to make a positive impact like Martin Luther King Jr, but unfortunately violence and negativity were too prevalent in my environment
Turned 17, 'fore you knew it, me and Ben was hopping from out of bushes
I became involved in criminal activity at a young age, my friend Ben and I would ambush people from bushes
At them bitch ass niggas
We would target and attack people who we deemed to be weak or inferior
Shit, you gon' die or you gon' take one? Nigga, what's your answer?
We would give our victims the choice to either die or be shot, asking them to choose their fate
You up that fire, you better break one, nigga, what's the hassle?
If you're carrying a gun, be prepared to use it, it's not a game
Still to this day, I'm on FaceTime talkin' with the pastor
I still have a relationship with the church and its leaders, I seek guidance and support from them
Like is they with me or against me, probably want me splattered
I question whether the people around me truly have my best interests at heart, or if they want to harm me
What you thinkin' 'bout, what you hearin' 'bout? I'ma see about it, nigga (I'm with you)
What's going through your mind? What rumors are you hearing? I'll investigate and support you
You got twenty on that nigga head, then make it forty, nigga
If you want someone harmed, I'll double the reward for their attacker
Shit, you know me still on dummy, I'll put a hundred, nigga
You know I'm not afraid to take risks and put up a large sum of money for something I believe in
For to see you smile, I risk my life, that's on my mama, nigga
I care about your happiness so much that I'm willing to put my own life in danger to achieve it, I swear on my mother
You was with me at rock bottom, nigga, I ain't forget it
You were there for me when I had nothing, and I appreciate that
When I wanted to slide, they ain't wan' drive me, nigga, and you was with it
When I wanted to commit a violent act, some people didn't want to be involved, but you were willing
When I was hollerin', "Who want problems?" You was holdin' up your semi
When I was looking for trouble, you were there to back me up with your gun
I kept on sayin' I'ma burn this bitch down, you was tellin' me, "Let's get it"
I was threatening to cause destruction, but you encouraged me to follow through on my words
My day one, you my brother
You've been my friend since the beginning, and I consider you family
And I love you to death
I care about you deeply
I'll never go against you
I'll always be loyal to you
I ain't never put anything before you
You're my top priority, I value our friendship over anything else
Not these diamonds, not this money
I won't let material possessions come between us
Or neither these hoes, whatever goes
I won't let women come between us either, whatever happens, we'll remain friends
Yeah, Wheezy laid the beat
Again, this beat was made by Wheezy, who I appreciate and acknowledge
I'm a slimeball for real
I'm not perfect, I've made mistakes and engaged in illegal activities
I spin it, yeah
I spend my money freely and without hesitation
