For example, in 2018, the Louisiana hitmaker put out six albums\/projects in between April and December. In 2022, he outdid himself, dropping seven. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Overall, he&#8217;s got the same amount of hustle and motivation he had when he first burst onto the scene as a rowdy teenager. In 2025, YB is showing that work ethic despite a prison stint stemming from fraud charges. The 25-year-old fed his fans immediately after getting out, unloading a 20-track compilation called More Leaks. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Of course, that would be followed by Make America Slime Again, his latest commercial release. The highly anticipated comeback album contained a whopping 30 songs with features from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/profile\/playboicarti\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\" target=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Playboi Carti<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/profile\/mellow-rackz\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\" target=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Mellow Rackz<\/a>. Some of the reactions to it have been a little mixed, especially considering the pro-Trump bars. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">The POTUS did pardon YB&#8217;s most recent federal charges, which the rapper was extremely grateful for. He released a statement <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/915214-nba-youngboy-thanks-donald-trump-hip-hop-news\" target=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">showing great gratitude towards Donald Trump.<\/a> &#8220;I want to thank President Trump for granting me a pardon and giving me the opportunity to keep building &#8211; as a man, as a father, and as an artist. This moment means a lot. It opens the door to a future I&#8217;ve worked hard for and I am fully prepared to step into this,&#8221; he said in part. <\/p>\n<p>NBA YoungBoy Make America Slime Again<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">But on top of this emotional whirlwind and a 1<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/934704-nba-youngboy-masa-first-week-sales-hip-hop-news\" target=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">6th top 10 debut on the Hot 200,<\/a> YB is not done yet.

Titled DESHAWN after YB&#8217;s middle name spelled DeSean, it&#8217;s going to consist of just 13 tracks, something that&#8217;s pretty foreign for either artist. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Hopefully, this formula will lead to a consistent tape with little to no filler.
