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.

Mike WiLL Made-It
Past tense futuristic, they'll never get it
I wished for this not knowing what it'd be worth by the time I get it
Thought drugs would make me love you harder but you still ain't feel it
This ain't 'bout fiends, this ain't 'bout critics, this about how I'm livin' (talk to 'em)
No matter which way it go
Time flow, as we come, as we leave
We come back with another one, they'll never know, yeah
What they see, got 'em blind, on my knees
In disguise, I can't take it
They say it's gon' get better
But it ain't seeming like it, it ain't seeming like it
They say my problems gon' get better (yeah)
But it ain't seeming like it, it ain't seeming like it, yeah
Youngin in the drop-top
Swerving lane to lane, what a dirty game, yeah
With an eight ball of the H, you tryna serve somethin'
His lil' nigga flagged him down, tryna tell him that he heard somethin' (what up)
He ain't take that too well, by tonight, he gotta murk somethin'
He pulled out, bled the block (skrrt)
Left the bend and cocked his Glock
He wanna leave the city, he just need enough of guap, yeah
This shit'll never end, help you understand, I'd rather not
I'll blow they brains with the aroma comin' out this pot (dope)
Career dirty, took a bath, came out diamonds dancing
Shawty bad, I can't be with her, right now I can't chance it
4KTrey, I run with killers, this shit real, ask 'em (4KTrey)
You can't say that that shit fake if everybody sayin' it
No matter which way it go
Time flow, as we come, as we leave
We come back with another one, they'll never know, yeah
What they see, got 'em blind, on my knees
In disguise, I can't take it
They say it's gon' get better
But it ain't seeming like it, it ain't seeming like it
They say my problems gon' get better
But it ain't seeming like it, it ain't seeming like it, yeah
Bring them bags in, my nigga weigh it up and then I'm clockin' out
Pharmaceuticals, I got them pounds, we got H and all
One hundred, you can ask Lil Harris, Chevy, I'ma break it off
Or go ask Famgoon 'bout your face, I'll try to take it off
Better play your role, don't break the law
Flame'll be the last thing you saw
We built this shit together, we can't fall
Swear I ain't gone for the bros, I ain't helped no more who been caught
Just sent D-Dawg money but I ain't happy he still ain't call
As time flow, I can't cope through the scope
I'ma aim, take the brains off a fuck nigga
Calm down, they thinking I'm lame but my nuts bigger (nuts bigger)
It runnin' all through my veins, blood of a thug nigga, yeah
No matter which way it go
Time flow, as we come, as we leave
We come back with another one, they'll never know (yeah)
What they see, got 'em blind, on my knees
In disguise, I can't take it
They say it's gon' get better
But it ain't seeming like it, it ain't seeming like it
They say my problems gon' get better

In the song Seeming Like It by YoungBoy Never Broke Again, the rapper reflects on his past and his current struggles. He starts by saying that his past was futuristic and that people will never understand it. He wished for success without realizing its value during the journey. He thought drugs would make him love someone more, but it didn't happen. The song is not about criticism or addiction; it's about how he's living at the moment.
The chorus talks about the general sense of hopelessness that YoungBoy feels. He talks about how they can't see his pain and struggle, and no matter how much he tries, things don't seem to be getting better. It seems like everyone is blind to his problems despite all of his efforts to make things right.
In the second verse, he talks about a young man who is living a double life. He's trying to make money by selling drugs but also wants to leave the city. The young man gets involved in a conflict and resolves to take someone out, looking to leave the city as soon as he gets enough money. YoungBoy associates with killers who are very real, not just pretending to be tough. The third verse is the rapper's statement of self-empowerment, where he doesn't want to be a pawn in someone else's game. He wants to make his way up, and if anyone tries to stop him or his friends, he will take them out without an afterthought.
Overall, the lyrics show the struggles that YoungBoy has faced in his life and how he tries to cope with them. He feels alone and that no one can understand his problems or his past, and he wants to make a better life for himself, even if it means taking the law into his own hands.
