YoungBoy Never Broke Again, also known as NBA YoungBoy or simply YoungBoy, has been a growing presence in the hip-hop mainstream scene since 2015.
The Birth of YoungBoy
He is born as Kentrell DeSean Gaulden on October 20, 1999 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He dropped out of ninth grade and decided to focus on his music, but was soon arrested for robbery. A detention center in Tallulah was where he started writing lyrics for his first project.
He started producing his own music and released his first mixtape in 2015 and kept releasing until he attracted attention with his October 2016 mixtape, 38 Baby. A 2017 mixtape, AI YoungBoy started his presence at the Billboard charts, its single, Untouchable, peaked at number 95 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart.
Making It
Gaulden announced his first studio Album, Until Death Call my Name in January 2018 after signing a deal with Atlantic Records. The single Outside Today was released in the same month. The song became YoungBoy’s highest-charting song, peaking at number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100. His 12th mixtape Decided, released on September 7, 2018, peaked at number 9 on the Billboard 200.
The constantly changing emotions he expresses with every song has made its mark on YouTube; and his listeners and fan bases have been expanding beyond it. His tumultuous lifestyle and numerous involvements in violence have created a lot of noise, but that hasn’t deterred him from hustling in the only way that he knows how.
