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.

Last life
In this life that I'm livin', I pray I make it through the night
As I ride through my city, I'm thinkin', lookin' at the lights
For so long, we was hurtin', I got the chance to make it right
Plenty times you done hurt me, I done been all alone tonight
They claim that they with me, but shoulda known that they ain't right
Can't get knocked off my pivot, I gotta play my cards right
Gotta stack up them Benji's, my nigga we gon' ball for life
For so long, I been striving, going hard, tryna make it right
So much pain in my body, know you can see it in my eyes
You say that you was with me, promised that you was down to ride
Now when I look around, you ain't nowhere by my side
Hurt me so deep, but it's okay, I'm on my grind
I got two sons, I'm just 16, can't waste my time
Straight from the bottom, to the top, I gotta climb
That boy say that he don't like me, tell him fall in line
Soul survivor, I won't stop, yeah I'ma grind for it
I'm from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I done came far
Whole lot of diamonds around my neck, yeah I'm shining hard
I'm sixteen, driving in all these exotic cars
And I don't owe nobody shit, but my mama boy
And my niggas, 'cause they was the one's who behind me boy
Remember I ain't have none to eat, I had to go steal for it
Show you my bank account, I swear I got 6 figures large
Niggas 'round me, they hatin', prolly was snakin' for it
These niggas under disguise, livin' under the board
I guess these niggas they wasn't made for it
Lord please don't mistake me
Please don't die 'cause I ain't going for it
In this life that I'm livin', I pray I make it through the night
As I ride through my city, I'm thinkin', lookin' at the lights
For so long, we was hurtin', I got the chance to make it right
Plenty times you done hurt me, I done been all alone tonight
They claim that they with me, but shoulda known that they ain't right
Gotta stay down and get it, I know that it's gon' be alright
Can't get knocked off my pivot, I gotta play my cards right
Gotta stack up them Benji's, my nigga we gon' ball for life
Aye, I can't even lie I really miss my daddy
Can't trip 'bout you leaving me
It wasn't for you, this wouldn't happened
Woke up with a opportunity to feed my family
My limits the stars and I wanna grab it
Yeah I just wanna grab it
I'm on a whole 'nother level
In this life that I'm livin', I pray I make it through the night
As I ride through my city, I'm thinkin', lookin' at the lights
For so long, we was hurtin', I got the chance to make it right
Plenty times you done hurt me, I done been all alone tonight
They claim that they with me, but shoulda known that they ain't right
Gotta stay down and get it, I know that it's gon' be alright
Can't get knocked off my pivot, I gotta play my cards right
Gotta stack up them Benji's, my nigga we gon' ball for life

Yeah I just wanna grab it
I am determined to seize my opportunities
