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.

Who made this shit?
(Tay Tay made the beat)
It's Lil Top
I'm reporting live, nigga, I'm reporting live from lockdown

They just want me for to fail, they don't wanna see me win at all
Know they happy that I'm gone, I guess this shit here make them proud
My youngest daughter, she caught COVID
Now a nigga wanna change, I can bet my feelings on it
Famous but right now I'm lonely
Seem that all my hoes phony, they just want me for a name
They just want me for my money
It's stormy now but gon' be sunny
On the phone, it ain't much that I can tell you
Just hold me down and I promise I won't fail you
How I'm feeling, it ain't no one I can tell it to
Who really love me? I can say a few
Mama, I'm so sorry, I can't save myself
Grandpa, just your opinion matter, it ain't no one else
Momo, I miss your love, I been tryna find myself
Don't wanna be in jail, just tell 'em I accept the chair
I'm sorry that I ain't call
I been thinking that you with someone else
We wit' it through collect call, baby
Hoping when you hear my voice that I turn you on crazy (hold on)
Smoking dro that my celly gave me
Hoping Baby Joe done found safety
'Cause I don't wanna lose no brother, I been going crazy
Heard 10 got good news and I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting on them to free a nigga, yeah
My girl act like she don't need a nigga, yeah
Even though I'm locked up you got all my time
You don't know, inside I feel like I'm dyin'
YoungBoy driving fast, I won't crash at all

I'm recordin' through the jail phone I'm dead raw, dead raw
Most these niggas scared to fight, they that soft, that soft
They got me wearin' Bob Barker, wish I had on some VLONE
Prosecutors wanna hang me, they don't wanna see me home
I am not a bad person, please excuse the time I'm on
I just wanna raise my kids, they just wanna say I'm wrong
I'm sorry that I ain't call
I been thinking that you with someone else
We wit' it through collect call, baby
Hoping when you hear my voice that I turn you on crazy

[Chorus]
All these niggas talkin' 'bout them switches, choppa came automatic
Red flag, you know the business
Pop his ass, wе drop his ass
That be that green flag activity
All these niggas talkin' 'bout killin' mе
So bet, let's get it started
They know I been a murder man
We bust his brain, jump in that water
Hold on, swim like you a shark, bitch
Show him he a goldfish, show him how that pole hit
Walk down wit' that four-nick'
Hold on, talkin' bout that glizzy switch
My nigga, get your soul lit
Know you heard 'bout all these bodies, we be wildin'
That gravediggin' shit
[Verse 1]
Pallbearers bring your body to the grave (Mm-hmm)
Don't do no missin' wit' these K's, and that's on Dave (Mm-hmm)
Don't give a fuck about where you from
We leave you slumped, and that's on Dump
On bottom, the Draco got a drum
Come out the window, then we dump (Bow, bow)
Leave him dead, bro, don't call my phone
I'm bein' investigated by DOJ and the Feds
Slime gon' have the money, where you stay at?
I'm a child, that's how I play it
Watchin' 'toons while gettin' head
Backyardigans inside my bed
Then I switch to Bob the Builder
Take a bitch then body build her
They know I like bodies, I catch bodies wit' the slimest niggas
They know I be wildin', from my mama house, I shot a nigga
Fuck it, shoulda split his fitted
[Chorus]
All these pussy niggas talkin' 'bout them switches, this choppa came automatic
Red flag, you know the business
Pop his ass, we drop his ass

We bust his brain, jump in that water
Hold on, swim like you a shark, bitch

[Verse 2]
Shawty got that ass, that's my lil' baby, I buy her a bottle

Makeup on my face, or either way, bitch, you don't want my problems
They know I'm gon' see about it
They know I don't give no fuck
They know they don't want to see Lul Tim jump from out that truck
They know Quando rollin' like them 60s, buck, he put you up
Know I'm a thug ass nigga out that north, and I'ma throw it up
And I'm in this bitch, I whacked that bitch but innocent
I buy my babymama anything, bitch, 'cause I'm really rich
I pull up on that silly shit, I'm laughin', but it turn out bad
Try to fight me, I'ma pop you daddy
4MATIC, you can catch me in that Maybach flashin'
