Youngboy Never Broke Again has shattered records that have left fans and peers alike stunned. With his latest album, Slime Cry, he has been crowned the most certified rapper of all time by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). This monumental achievement surpasses even the likes of hip-hop heavyweights Kanye West, Drake, Jay-Z, and others.
Released just last January, Slime Cry is Youngboy's eighth studio album, which comes hot on the heels of his August 2025 mixtape Deshawn, hosted by DJ Khaled. The Baton Rouge rapper has made a habit of dropping new music at breakneck speed, with an impressive resume boasting over 29 other bodies of work and 102 singles.
One of Youngboy's standout tracks, "Shot Callin," was named the third best hip-hop song of 2025 by Rolling Stone, highlighting his resurgence in the rap game after spending most of last year behind bars on gun charges. The song serves as a triumphant return for Youngboy, reclaiming his place among the hip-hop elite.
Despite some controversy surrounding his massive Make America Slime Again arena tour, including cancellations and an incident with an audience member, the run was still wildly popular and celebrated, earning $28.3 million dollars and selling 231,000 tickets across 17 shows. The success of this tour showcases Youngboy's enduring appeal, as evident in a review by Rolling Stone contributor Jason Buford, who wrote that he "let adults into his web" and became the 2Pac for his generation.
In addition to his musical achievements, Youngboy has also used his platform for good, donating tens of thousands of dollars to anti-violence organizations across the country.
