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 ↴
These niggas know what up, know I'm bout whateva'
I'm in the streets I keep that heat, you know I be steppin'
I miss the nawf just like my granny, my heart in them trenches
Yo' girl gone cheat on you for nothing
So I'm done with these bitches
I think about it every minute, ain't stoppin' my mission
Interrogated by detectives won't tell 'em I did it
I told Montana that I love him, on Dave I meant it
Put 20 thousand on his head, they catch him I send it
Get on my knee on side the bed like "father, forgive me"
Was sellin' weed fucked up my profit, I ain't make a dolla'
The fame getting to my niggas, I cut off my partners
Before I call on you, I put my trust up in this choppa'
Movin' like he can't get touched real quick, I bet I stop em'
Nigga ain't give me shit but hand out like I owe him something
I don't give a fuck if we step together, I'll show you something
Bitches think they slick, they all deceive so I'll never love em'
Bre was my first love but she changed so I'll never trust her
This the files of a nigga who ain't neva' bleed
This the story of a child who was in them streets
Why the fuck I'm taking care of them? They ain't do shit for me
Why the fuck I'm showing you so much love?
And bitch you leaving me
Keandre dead, the only thing I think about is Tyler
I'm full of pain and wake up every morning and I'm smilin'
They think I'm dumb
You got me fucked up I got plenty knowledge
They don't give a fuck about how I feel
They don't know my problems
Just 'cause you around me, I ain't forget bout everything you said
I let some shots off in the air for my niggas dead
Do anything in the world for you, I'm livin' red
Showin' love to them niggas they might bust my head
Mad 'bout a gun, but for a fact I won't do you nothin'
Mad that I'm up but you remember you ain't give me nothing
I ain't give up on my mission, fuck you mean bitch I was steady hustlin'
Handin' all you niggas money bitch and I steady strugglin'
Montana know about my pain and everything I told him
I told him watch what he was saying, but shit I had to fold him
Up in that cell bitch I was cryin' with no one to hold me
Youngboy a soldier, I remember what my grampa told me
Batty bwoy if you cross I'ma take your life
I'm full of drugs so I'ma die if I get caught tonight
Tell my lil' brother and my sons it's gone be alright
NBA to the end, it's a way of life
Young nigga fillin' up his arm with some heroin
He was abandoned as a child screaming red rum
You spell it backwards, what that mean? Nigga murder
Livin' wrong or right, trustin' nobody 'til the his time come
Yo' ex just exposed you, now you mad like I was neva' here
Where I come from I gotta keep this bitch up on my hip
Momma' forgive me for all the times I use to trip
Know its a purpose in this world why I need to live
It ain't too long
Y'all don't give a fuck 'bout me, bitch
I did something for all y'all, y'all got me fucked up
Out the flap I ain't gotta' smile in nobody face
Y'all tell me 'bout all y'all problems, y'all don't ask how I'm feelin' huh?
Bitch I been feelin' like I'm finna die
Bitch I cry alone
This for all them young niggas who gone
And all the people who miss they babies, you heard me?
Fuck everybody who ain't mine, y'all ain't making my life no betta', gang
Young nigga fillin' up his arm with some heroin
He was abandoned as a child screaming red rum
You spell it backwards, what that mean? Nigga murder
Livin' wrong and right, trustin' nobody 'til the his time come
Batty bwoy if you cross I'ma take your life
I'm full of drugs so I'ma die if I get caught tonight
Tell my lil' brother and my sons it's gone be alright
NBA to the end, it's a way of life
The lyrics to YoungBoy Never Broke Again's song "Preach" offer an introspective look into the life of a young man who has experienced a lot of pain and hardship. The opening lines reveal that he turned the preacher's daughter bad, which he acknowledges as a foolish act on his part. He asserts that he'll do whatever it takes to survive on the streets and that he's always armed and ready to fight.
Throughout the song, he reflects on his past and his struggles, admitting that he's made mistakes, but also expressing his determination to stay focused on his mission. He expresses his distrust and disappointment with women he's been involved with, including his first love Bre, whom he says he can never trust again. YoungBoy also touches on his relationships with friends and associates, some of whom he's had to cut ties with due to their negative influence or lack of loyalty.
The song ends with a message of resilience and hope, as YoungBoy expresses his commitment to his family and his NBA crew, even in the face of adversity and danger. The repeated refrain of "NBA to the end, it's a way of life" emphasizes his sense of loyalty and community, despite the challenges he's faced.
