NBA YoungBoy Releases New Album

Youngboy never misses when it comes to music. NBA Youngboy, also known as Kentrell Gaulden, has been dropping albums like it’s nothing. His most recent album called “Ma’ I Got A Family” has a lot of hit songs throughout it. The album has 19 songs, and it dropped on October 21, 2022. The cover of the album shows Kentrell, Jazlyn Mychelle, and two babies. Jazlyn is Kentrell’s current girlfriend and one of his babies’ mothers. “Ma’ I Got A Family” is top three on apple music right now. Kentrell just never misses.
In the album, there aren’t any hardcore, aggressive songs. Kentrell went with a unique, soft, and pleasing type of sound. I like a lot of songs on his album, but the one song that stands out to me is “Rose Gold.” From the smooth and mellow beat to the flow of words in the song, it is very astonishing. When Youngboy continuously rhymes with the beat, it amazes me. I will literally sit there and ask myself, “Why is he going so hard on this beat like that?” When I listened to “Rain,” I was really tuned in because he was basically saying that he wants to be alone, but he still wants someone who is going to be there for him. He is technically saying give him his space so he can get himself together, but still be there for him when he needs you. A lot of time we need our space to collect ourselves and we also need someone who we can rely on at any time.
In a song on the album called “Kentrell Talk,” Youngboy talks with his fans telling them his opinion on how he feels about the rap game. This really surprised me because he never expresses himself in the way he did in this song. He will always express his feelings in a song but he has never talked to us like he was having a conversation with us. He is telling us that the rap game is fading away because of the fans. Fans are quick to judge a rapper because they do not carry themselves like other rappers they listen to. Everyone has their own way of expressing themselves. If you’re going to be that picky towards a rapper then you should just stick with your Pop or R&B artist.
Overall, Youngboy will continue to drop the heat, and I will continue to enjoy every last song he drops for his fans.
