In 2016, he released the 38 Baby mixtape, which featured fellow Baton Rouge rappers like Badazz and Kevin Gates. Shining a spotlight on his gritty and violent upbringing, YoungBoy displayed a talent for wordy bars, combining the spirits of contemporaries like 21 Savage and Boosie Badazz. His debut mixtape, Life Before Fame, arrived in 2015 and was quickly followed by a trilogy of releases titled Mind of a Menace. Inspired by local artist Lil Phat, the young Gaulden started rapping and recording. Originally known as NBA YoungBoy, the rapper was born Kentrell DeSean Gaulden in Baton Rouge in 1999. I Rest My Case, the first album issued through the rapper's deal with Motown, appeared in early 2023, and was quickly followed by the lengthy Don't Try This at Home and mixtape Richest Opp. He continued releasing mixtapes like 3800 Degrees and the DJ Drama-hosted Ma' I Got a Family in quick succession. YoungBoy returned to the top of the Billboard 200 with 2021's Sincerely, Kentrell and reached number two with 2022's The Last Slimeto. He closed his whirlwind year with yet another mixtape and a collaboration with Rich the Kid, Nobody Safe. He remained in the upper reaches of the chart in 2020 with multiple mixtapes before hitting number one with his sophomore album, Top. His debut album, Until Death Call My Name, reached the Top Ten of the Billboard 200 when it appeared in 2018, and his 2019 mixtape, AI YoungBoy 2, topped the chart.
Following his release in 2017, he became a regular fixture on the Billboard charts, frequently issuing mixtapes, EPs, and singles. He debuted as one of 2015/2016's rising talents, but that trajectory was altered slightly after a six-month prison sentence. YoungBoy Never Broke Again is a highly prolific rapper from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who has attracted a loyal following for his uncompromising street narratives.
