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 β38 Baby.β
Shortly after the success of β38 Babyβ 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 βUntouchableβ which is one of his biggest hits to date. Following the release of βUntouchable,β YoungBoy released AI YoungBoy on August 4, 2017.
Later on, in 2017 YoungBoy ended the year by dropping Ainβt 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 βDrawing Symbols,β βLil Top,β βHouse Arrest Tingzβ and βAroundβ. 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, YoungBoyβs team released the rapperβs 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 βBring The Hook,β and βFish Scale.β These songs would soon appear on YoungBoyβs 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 Durkβs βAHHH HA,β to YoungBoyβs βI Hate YoungBoyβ β both regarding the death of King Von.
Following his hastily start to 2022, YoungBoy would partner up with DaBaby to present the duoβs joint mixtape, BETTER THAN YOU in March. The mixtape would later peak at #10 on the Billboard 200, this would mark YoungBoyβs 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 YoungBoyβs 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 Maβ I Got A Family.
Through Billboard, on October 24, 2022, it was announced that following YoungBoyβs departure from Atlantic Records, beginning 2023, he would release music under a joint venture deal between his own Never Broke Again and Motown Records.

Aye
Aye, they might could do it better
I ain't trippin' off all that shit
Used to be broke but now I'm rich, I'm spendin' every penny
2Pac Shakur, ridin' through the North up in the Bentley
Tryna assassinate my character, I ain't say I did it
Nigga, you got that yayo? (well cut some nigga)
Nigga, you let them K's go? (bust some nigga)
Oh, you duckin' them laws? (you better run from them niggas)
Oh, you playin' with that raw? (why don't you front some nigga?)
The block is hot, the block is hot
The block is hot, the block is hot
The block is hot, the block is hot
The block is hot, the block is hot
Whole lotta killing, Helter Skelter like I'm Charles Manson
These niggas hatin' now keep that hammer, all these diamonds dancin'
Me and Meek Mill watchin' movies in Rick Ross mansion
You disrespect, I up the TEC and let you niggas have it
23 shots, Lebron James I shoot the cavalier
These niggas speakin' on my name I'ma get it clear
When they shot, they aimed for my brain but I'm still here
I'm a Bad Boy, never met Diddy but that's what it is
Used to be broke but now I'm rich, I'm spendin' every penny
2Pac Shakur, ridin' through the North up in the Bentley
Curtis Jackson ain't no actin' when I'm on a mission
Tryna assassinate my character, I ain't say I did it
Nigga, you got that yayo? (well cut some nigga)
Nigga, you let them K's go? (bust some nigga)
Oh, you duckin' them laws? (you better run from them niggas)
Oh, you playin' with that raw? (why don't you front some nigga?)
The block is hot, the block is hot
The block is hot, the block is hot
The block is hot, the block is hot
The block is hot, the block is hot
I'm in the all white Porsche wit' heat ridin' through Hollygrove
Discussin' 'bout what it's gon' take to get them birds gone
Say "look, look daddy," I ain't your whoadie make me bust your dome
Got a 100 shots up in the Caddy while I'm headed home
My lil' hitter quiet like Slim, we gon' shoot above the rim
We gon' pop 'em when we see 'em
Whip his pockets 'fore we kill 'em
We got the police on our trail, so we runnin' when we see 'em
Don't wanna front us now run, we gon' rob 'em when we see 'em, bitch
Police hit our stash house but we ain't closing shop
They got some niggas movin' work who stay right up the block
Knock on the door, I need a zone yeah I got the guap
Soon as he open up the door, he gon' see the Glock
Nigga, you got that yayo? (well cut some nigga)
Nigga, you let them K's go? (bust some nigga)
Oh, you duckin' them laws? (you better run from them niggas)
Oh, you playin' with that raw? (why don't you front some nigga?)
The block is hot, the block is hot

The lyrics of YoungBoy Never Broke Again's "Diamond Teeth Samurai" is about his past struggles and how he came from being broke to rich. The song also talks about how he doesn't care about what others think of him and that he won't let anyone assassinate his character. The first two lines of the song go "Aye, Aye, they might could do it better, I ain't trippin' off all that shit." which means that he acknowledges that others could do things better, but he doesn't let that bother him. He raps about 2Pac riding through the North in a Bentley and the fact that Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) isn't acting when he's on a mission. The main theme of the song revolves around surviving on the streets and the dangers of living that kind of life.
The chorus repeats "The block is hot" several times, which is a reference to the increased police presence in neighborhoods with high crime rates. The next verse mentions killing, which could be interpreted as a reference to street violence, and then goes on to say that he and Meek Mill watch movies in Rick Ross's mansion. The lyrics showcase his ability to balance two contradictory lifestyles, and he warns that he will up his TEC (handgun) and let people have it if they disrespect him. He also mentions that he was shot at and targeted, but despite this, he won't go down easily.
Overall, "Diamond Teeth Samurai" can be taken as a warning to anyone trying to cause YoungBoy Never Broke Again any harm that he's not an easy target. The song reflects on his past struggles and how he's emerged from poverty, but it also highlights the dangers of the lifestyle that has made him successful.
