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.

Youngboy Never Broke Again Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Niggas gon' talk, it's whatever 'cause they don't know me
Never stand down, Nation Business, you gotta show me
Earn and provide for myself 'cause nobody have ever ho-o-o-ld me
Aye, say look, aye, I'm tellin' you I can't love you
Ya heard me why the-what the fuck you want me to do when I've been wrong my whole life
Ya heard me, shit
Ya heard me but it is this right over love (and I don't want to hurt you)
And that man I am pardoned, believe dat, yeah
I got some shit up in my blood, it never leave for life
And you so perfect, you deserve it, I can't treat you right
And if I ever get a chance I might hurt you (I knew it hurt)
So go and travel, find somethin' new like a bird do (brrr)
I'm from the north, my brothers come out that four
I'm in the valley, me and Quincy steady servin' that dope
And I grew up around some killers, shake the block with that pole
If I was ever for the fuck, you three gon' carry my load
I could rock some, grams out the bag, I'm finna drop some
Hit it wit' that soda, mediocre, milly rock some
Passin' through the block, get caught out, that choppa cut some
Fuckin' wit' my brother, ask him can I hold a block or something
Now tell me do you comprehend? We stand on Nation Business (Nation Business)
Now tell me do you understand? I got some cases pendin' (cases pendin')
Had a talk wit' all of my niggas and they steady spendin'
Unfamiliar places, livin' life could have your brain missin'
Healin' my pain, on a level, pissin' out Codeine
Niggas gon' talk, it's whatever 'cause they don't know me
Never stand down, Nation Business, you gotta show me
Earn and provide for myself 'cause nobody have ever ho-o-o-ld me
Yeah, no one ever hold me yeah, no one ever hold me yeah, slatt
Healin' my pain, on a level, pissin' out Codeine
Niggas gon' talk, it's whatever 'cause they don't know me
Never stand down, Nation Business, you gotta show me
Earn and provide for myself 'cause nobody have ever ho-o-o-ld me
Aye, pass me the cup right there
Eh, eh, eh, Quando Rondo nigga, eh
I got some shit inside my cup, dirty Sprite stick to the ice
You said you love me, gave you my heart then you scarred me for life
Your loyalty I never doubted, never thought 'bout it twice
If lovin' you was wrong then baby I don't wanna be right
I'm from the trenches, used to be strapped with that pole
Just bought leaky a new extension, back that up with some smoke
Nothin' but killers in my mirror, for a check they gon' go
And that's a bet they gon' blow (Throw one in the head and give it to me)
Clutchin' my metal while I fill my candy wit' Codeine
Trapped in the wagon, steady servin' Perkys to dope fiends
I'm 'bout to fill my mouth wit' VVS, I'm gettin' tired of the gold teeth
Hittin' the bank not a suggestion, I'm steady fiendin' for money
Healin' my pain, on a level, pissin' out Codeine
Niggas gon' talk, it's whatever 'cause they don't know me
Never stand down, Nation Business, you gotta show me
Earn and provide for myself 'cause nobody have ever ho-o-o-ld me
Yeah, no one ever hold me yeah, no one ever hold me yeah, slatt
Healin' my pain, on a level, pissin' out Codeine
Niggas gon' talk, it's whatever 'cause they don't know me
Never stand down, Nation Business, you gotta show me
Earn and provide for myself 'cause nobody have ever ho-o-o-ld me
