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 ↴
(Hello? This is Mike Laury)
(Dubba-AA flexin')
(This is the sound)
Please don't get amazed by all these diamonds, get you a plain jane
Baby, your love like cocaine, tell 'em I want the whole thing
Off-White on my offseasons, can't take no break, we gon' run this game
Sittin' up inside of the court hopin' not to be judged by half of the choices I made
Ridin' in a double-R, drank in my cup, intentions aimed to kill all my pain
I'm runnin' with killers, I'm with 'em, you diss 'em then know to reclaim
Came from the bottom, ran it up and I ain't changed
Go tell them niggas I don't owe them shit
Ran off like assassin
Got a hundred different ways for a nigga get rich
Tryna stay on that, my mind bent
Did a jail bid, where my time went
Did a jail bid, where my time went
Got a brand new piece that Shyne sent
Got a brand new piece that Shyne sent
Hundred thou' inside of my Amiris
Dirty money spent on Prada I ain't proud of
Clean lean make a dirty bottle
Solitaires lay around the collar
In the streets, you just another body
Casket real bright, but it's dark in it
Future real bright, but it's war in it
Real born killers that was taught in it
Thinkin' 'bout givin' my Maybach up, startin' to feel too regular
Young nigga walkin' with that fentanyl
Get out of line, we stretchin' you
Hatin' ass niggas ain't keepin' up
I ain't spendin' nothin', still flexin'
Still ridin' 'round in a foreign car
Plenty of hoes, big mansion
Please don't get amazed by all these diamonds, get you a plain jane
Baby, your love like cocaine, tell 'em I want the whole thing
Off-White on my offseasons, can't take no break, we gon' run this game
I hope that you been holdin' me down, that money came
Say you wan' chill, so I let you come kick it
Blood everywhere 'cause this real-deal business
Guns everywhere and I'm real-deal billin'
Ten-thousand dollar 'fit, ridin' in a Honda Civic
She ain't know what to do, she had asked me to pick it
Bought her everything, it was nothin' 'pecific
If you get distracted, if you lack on a mission
Won't ever do that, I'm on top of my pivot
I'ma show you the value of love
But on top of that, that Patek gold value is plain
I feel like this metal protecting my life
It's gon' block that static that's all in the rain
Hope money ain't got you playin' games
What's real ain't gon' never change
Please don't get amazed by all these diamonds, get you a plain jane
Baby, your love like cocaine, tell 'em I want the whole thing
Off-White on my offseasons, can't take no break, we gon' run this game
I hope that you been holdin' me down, that money came

Solitaires lay around the collar
Diamond necklaces adorn my neck
In the streets, you just another body
In the dangerous streets, you're just another person at risk of being killed

I ain't spendin' nothin', still flexin'
I'm still showing off even though I'm not spending any money
Still ridin' 'round in a foreign car
I still drive around in a luxury foreign car
Plenty of hoes, big mansion
I have many female companions and a large mansion
Say you wan' chill, so I let you come kick it
You said you wanted to hang out, so I let you come over
Blood everywhere 'cause this real-deal business
There is violence and danger involved in my line of work
Guns everywhere and I'm real-deal billin'
I carry guns everywhere I go and I make a lot of money
Ten-thousand dollar 'fit, ridin' in a Honda Civic
I'm wearing expensive clothes, but driving a relatively low-end car
She ain't know what to do, she had asked me to pick it
She didn't know what to choose, so she asked me to decide
Bought her everything, it was nothin' 'pecific
I bought her everything, without any particular reason or occasion
If you get distracted, if you lack on a mission
If you lose focus or don't live up to expectations, you'll fail
Won't ever do that, I'm on top of my pivot
I won't lose focus, I'm on top of my game
I'ma show you the value of love
I'll demonstrate to you how valuable love can be
But on top of that, that Patek gold value is plain
In addition to love, the value of expensive jewelry is also important
I feel like this metal protecting my life
I feel like the jewelry I wear is a form of protection
It's gon' block that static that's all in the rain
It will block negative energy and distractions
Hope money ain't got you playin' games
I hope that money hasn't corrupted you or caused you to act differently
What's real ain't gon' never change
What's true and genuine will always remain the same

[Chorus]
This choppa came automatic
Red flag, you know the business
