Also known as NBA YoungBoy, American rapper and songwriter YoungBoy Never Broke Again is one of the hottest performers in the industry, having had several hits on the Billboard Hot 100 charts by the age of 18, and a list of collaborators that includes artists like Trippie Red, Lil Baby, Lil Yachty, Birdman, Future, and Plies. Widely known for his double-platinum single ‘Outside Today,’ which peaked at 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent nineteen weeks on the chart, he has to date released one studio album, four EPs, and thirteen mixtapes, all of which can be found on his YouTube channel that now has over 4.6 million subscribers and close to 3 billion views. His singles ‘Genie,’ ‘Untouchable,’ ‘No Smoke,’ and ‘Overdose’ are certified platinum, as is his first album, Until Death Call My Name.
Releasing his first mixtape, Life Before Fame, at the age of 15, YoungBoy caught the ear of rap fans searching for a new sound. Still, it was a year before Youngboy generated significant buzz with 38 Baby, which featured Boosie Badazz, Kevin Gates, Stroke Tha Don, and NBA 3Three. By 2017, he was making appearances in videos from artists like 21 Savage, Meek Mill, Young Thug, and Yo Gotti, and in the same year, he released his first Billboard 200 charting mixtape, A.I. YoungBoy. The young artist shows no sign of slowing down, having released several projects throughout 2019, with international dates in the calendar.
