NBA Youngboy Milestones











The latest milestone follows the release of Youngboy's new album, More Leaks. The project surfaces during the rapper's 23-month incarceration following his federal gun charge conviction in late 2024. His absence from the spotlight hasn't dulled his creative fire. If anything, More Leaks cements his status as one of hip-hop's most prolific and emotionally raw voices. Production on More Leaks reflects the breadth of YoungBoy's sound, balancing hard-hitting trap rhythms with introspective melodies. The lineup behind the boards includes acclaimed producers like Cheese, Bnyx, F1lthy, Harry Fraud, and London On Da Track, each adding a unique layer to the album's sonic landscape. The beats hit with force but leave space for vulnerability, amplifying the emotional weight of his verses.




Critics and fans alike have praised More Leaks for its unfiltered emotion and raw honesty. YoungBoy navigates themes of betrayal, loss, and survival with the urgency of an artist who refuses to be silenced. Even from behind bars, his voice remains loud, cutting through the industry's noise with a relentless determination that few can match. Despite his legal battles, YoungBoy's creative output refuses to slow. More Leaks doesn't just serve as a stopgap between projects-it reinforces his influence and unwavering connection to his audience. Each track pulses with the energy of an artist who thrives in chaos, turning personal turmoil into compelling music that resonates with millions.
