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.

I bet my last track probably gave you lockjaw
(Hey, Lilkdubb)
For the fall, they been waitin' on me, I know that's what they all say
Live it up, they been hatin' on me, I ain't trippin' 'cause we all paid
New Givenchy, fuck the critics
Ridin' on the wave, you gon' wash away
I was the nigga with the ticket, the one had the ambition
Came up runnin', we'll take off from them cop cars
When we got caught, ain't do no trippin', that's what made us
This 30 stick up in this Glock, this what saved us
To bullshit, hard like a rock, it won't change us
Behind my mans, I'll die today, I won't change up
I put that shit on his mama, we did some dirt with that choppa
We done upgraded to models, bitches want fuckin', come swallow
They tryna slip out the condom, these bitches bite like piranhas
The one I want, I ain't find her
But spendin' time with them robbers
We all play with them choppas, we shoot this shit at yo' mama
Smokin' on dope, clutchin' my pole, hollerin', "Bitch, you want problems?"
Another homi', another body, another hat for the dollar
Come to murder, ain't no talkin', we leave yo' streets bloody
I'm tryna knock this brother off with the same gun
And I ain't ask him, go ask him just where I came from
Tell me, uh, is we gon' die?
'Cause, nigga, we gon' be slangin' iron today
Leave me alone, I'm seein' trouble in my rear view
They steady talkin', show them different, but they still do
And you can rap that gangster shit, I still don't feel you
You make one move and my young niggas gon' drill you
I make that music that them young niggas gon' kill to
You in the streets, so watch yo' back, don't let 'em steal you
He got a problem, he'll shoot, I'll kill, too
Ain't trippin', not 'til I show shawty what these pills do
I see them hoes steady cappin', tryna phase you
Gucci with Birkin and it came in a case, too
Told her I love her, she responded, "Bitch, I hate you"
Totin' .380, I'ma show 'em what that K do
Cuddlin' in a black Maybach, I need a Wraith, too
Nigga, don't run up on this bitch 'cause we gon' spray you
Aim at the nose, straight out the flap, bitch, we gon' face you
Bleed from the nose, I'm screamin "blatt," the truth like Jesus
Even though I did, don't let them people say I made you
'Cause I'ma steady keep doing shit that you can't do
Come to murder, ain't no talkin', we leave yo' streets bloody
I'm tryna knock this brother off with the same gun
And I ain't ask him, go ask him just where I came from

The lyrics of YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s song “Lost Motives” are centered around themes of hustle, ambition, and survival in opposition to haters, trouble and danger. The first verse portrays the rapper as being aware of the expectations that the people have of him and the envy and hostility that comes with success, while he brags about his wealth and fashion style. He also talks about his companions, who are willing to take on the police, the violence they have to deal with regularly and the loyalty among thieves. In the second verse, there is a continuation of the previous themes, with emphasis on violent action, guns, and drugs. The artist continues to assert his toughness and the life he leads, while also presenting himself as a target, constantly in danger of being attacked.
In the chorus, there is a repetition of the idea that YoungBoy’s crew is always ready for violence and confrontation, and that any rival who comes with an insult or a physical threat will likely face their retaliation. The words “Is we gon' die?” serve as a statement about the uncertain, high-risk nature of life as a rapper and member of a drug-gang. The bridge of the song has a similar theme, with emphasis on the artist’s relentless pursuit of his goals and his willingness to do what it takes to achieve them. Overall, “Lost Motives” is a song that glorifies the culture of violence and drug use while acknowledging the difficulties and risks that come with it.

Ay, tell me when to go
Asking for guidance and direction
I bet my last track probably gave you lockjaw
I am confident that my previous song was impressive enough to keep you mesmerized
For the fall, they been waitin' on me, I know that's what they all say
I am aware that people expect me to fail
Live it up, they been hatin' on me, I ain't trippin' 'cause we all paid
People criticize me even though we all succeed and make good money
New Givenchy, fuck the critics
I don't care about people's opinions, I will do me and wear what I want
Ridin' on the wave, you gon' wash away
If you don't stay on top of things and work hard, you will be replaced quickly
I came in by myself, they ain't listen
I came into the game alone, and others didn't listen to my ideas
I was the nigga with the ticket, the one had the ambition
I was the one with the plan and the drive to make things happen
Came up runnin', we'll take off from them cop cars
We grew up dodging the police and will do anything to keep running away from them
When we got caught, ain't do no trippin', that's what made us
When we were caught by the police, we never panicked, and that taught us how to be calm and composed in tough situations
This 30 stick up in this Glock, this what saved us
Having guns is what helped us protect ourselves and stay safe
To bullshit, hard like a rock, it won't change us
We are tough, and no matter what, we won't give up or change our ways
Behind my mans, I'll die today, I won't change up
I am loyal to my friends and will always stand with them, even if it puts my life in danger
I put that shit on his mama, we did some dirt with that choppa
I swear on someone's mother that we had to do some violent things with a gun
We done upgraded to models, bitches want fuckin', come swallow
We upgraded to better guns, and women are now attracted to us because of our status
They tryna slip out the condom, these bitches bite like piranhas
Women try to avoid using protection during sex, and some of them are very aggressive and desperate
The one I want, I ain't find her
I haven't found the right woman yet
But spendin' time with them robbers
I enjoy spending time with people who commit crimes and live dangerous lives
We all play with them choppas, we shoot this shit at yo' mama
We all handle guns and are ready to fight violence with violence, even if it means shooting a mother
Smokin' on dope, clutchin' my pole, hollerin', "Bitch, you want problems?"
I am smoking marijuana and holding onto my gun while challenging anyone who thinks they can take me on
Another homi', another body, another hat for the dollar
Killing another person means another paycheck for me
Come to murder, ain't no talkin', we leave yo' streets bloody
We are coming to kill, and there won't be any negotiation or discussion
I'm tryna knock this brother off with the same gun
I am planning to use the same gun to kill someone else
And I ain't ask him, go ask him just where I came from
Those who doubt me should go ask around and find out where I come from and what I am capable of
You make one move and my young niggas gon' drill you
If you make one wrong move, my young associates will respond with violence
I make that music that them young niggas gon' kill to
My music and lyrics are the soundtrack of violence and aggression
You in the streets, so watch yo' back, don't let 'em steal you
If you live in the dangerous streets, be careful of those who may harm you and take advantage of you
Ain't trippin', not 'til I show shawty what these pills do
I am not worried about anything, at least not until I show my girl what these drugs can do
I see them hoes steady cappin', tryna phase you
I see women trying to deceive me or talk me into doing things I don't want to do
Gucci with Birkin and it came in a case, too
I have expensive designer items, and they are well taken care of in their original packaging
Told her I love her, she responded, "Bitch, I hate you"
I told my girl I love her, but she responded with anger and hate instead
Totin' .380, I'ma show 'em what that K do
I am carrying a small gun called a .380, but I am still going to use it effectively
Cuddlin' in a black Maybach, I need a Wraith, too
I am currently riding in a luxurious black Maybach car, but I want an even more expensive Wraith car
Nigga, don't run up on this bitch 'cause we gon' spray you
If someone tries to attack me, I will respond with gunfire to protect myself
Aim at the nose, straight out the flap, bitch, we gon' face you
We aim at the nose and fire, so we can face our enemies directly
Bleed from the nose, I'm screamin "blatt," the truth like Jesus
If someone gets shot in the nose, they will bleed, and I will celebrate the truth of the situation just like Jesus would
Even though I did, don't let them people say I made you
Even if I influenced you in some way, don't let other people blame me for your actions and decisions
'Cause I'ma steady keep doin' shit that you can't do
I will continue to do things that others cannot or will not do, and I won't let them bring me down
Show them what's slatt
Show them what's up
This love me though
I am someone who people love and respect
At the top man, YoungBoy
I am at the top of my game, and my name is YoungBoy
I'm on that same shit
I am still doing the same things and sticking to what I know
I ain't doin' nothin', nigga
I am not doing anything wrong or illegal
Free Choppa Boy
My friend Choppa Boy is in jail, and I want him to be free
Free D Dogg
My friend D Dogg is in jail, and I want him to be free
You know what it is with me
You know who I am and what I stand for
Keep your head up out here nigga
Be careful and be aware of your surroundings, my friend
