In another song called “Rebels Kick It,” Youngboy says “And it was something like Luther King, wanted to keep the peace but couldn’t.” Youngboy is trying to send a message to stop racism and speaks about his personal experiences with discrimination. He brings up the topic of oppression and racism in the song and talks about how his cousin was killed. In the next song “Where the love at”, YoungBoy raps “I ain’t know my age, he was 16, they killed Lil Dave, where’s the love when a child gets murdered, Or a cop gets knocked down, black lives not now.” However, he claims that what he really needed was his birth mom Sheronda when he was growing up. He explains that Monique, 3Three’s mom was like a mother figure to him. In the song “Lonely Child” on the album, YoungBoy raps “ I call Monique my mama, but Lord knows I need Sheronda, who wants someone to help him out, mind in a rage, I’m way too young to feel this pain.” The brace left noticeable permanent scars on his face. The injury required a head brace until the spine healed. His fans question the scars on his face, in which he states in an interview conducted by DJ Smallz Eyes 2 on Youtube that his neck broke as a toddler from wrestling. YoungBoy dropped out of school in the ninth grade to pursue his music career, but was soon arrested for robbery and was sent to a detention center in Tallulah, Louisiana. Not long after, his grandmother passed away from heart failure in 2010. According to an article by TheFader, when YoungBoy was eight his father was sentenced to 55 years in jail for a robbery gone wrong and his mother moved out of the neighborhood leaving him with his maternal grandmother. He draws a lot of inspiration from his hardships as a youth. Some of the topics include his childhood, current feelings, and relationships. His songs reflect upon his upbringing which he tends to rap about. However, the overall message that YoungBoy is trying to portray is significant and emotionally intense. This is an album worth listening to, specifically for an older audience due to the explicit language and violent descriptions. YoungBoy has a unique way of conveying his depressing emotions with upbeat rhythms, writing his songs almost like a journal entry through his lyrics. This album is Youngboy’s second Top 10 on the Billboard 200 Chart. After being sued by the NBA for his name he is now known as YoungBoy Never Broke Again. Daphne Cabrera '23 and Alyssa Maggioni '20īorn on October 20, 1999, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 20-year-old rapper Kentrall DeSean Gaulden, formally known as NBA YoungBoy recently released an album titled AI Youngboy 2.
