YoungBoy Never Broke Again's career has been a wild ride in a relatively short amount of time. In spite of a string of legal issues that have plagued his career, the teenage Louisiana native has created a cult following that has long awaited his new album, Until Death Call My Name (out today).

First making waves with his 2016 mixtape 38 Baby, YoungBoy Never Broke Again's breakout year would end on a sour note due to his Dec. 2016 arrest in Austin, Texas, on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder stemming from a drive-by shooting in Baton Rouge, La.

After taking a plea deal, YoungBoy Never Broke Again was released in May 2017. Three months later, he dropped his first commercial mixtape, AI YoungBoy, which debuted at No. 24 on the Billboard 200, evidence of his growing popularity and ability to translate his buzz into tangible success.

Led by the singles "No Smoke" and "Untouchable," which peaked at No. 61 and No. 95 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, respectively, AI YoungBoy continued to raise the upstart's profile heading into 2018, but YoungBoy Never Broke Again face yet another setback when he was arrested in Florida in February on a warrant from Georgia and charged with assault, weapons violations and kidnapping. (Around the same time, a hotel surveillance video leaked that depicts him assaulting his girlfriend.)

Released on bail in March 2018, YoungBoy Never Broke Again's legal issues prevent him from leaving the state of Louisiana, using social media or going to any clubs or bars, but the stipulations of his bail have not stopped his hustle. His debut album Until Death Call My Name boasts guest appearances from Birdman, Future, and Lil Baby. The album is packed with testimonials inspired by the street life and rhymes that offer a glimpse into the life and times of YoungBoy Never Broke Again.

After giving Until Death Calls My Name a few focused listens, XXL picked 20 standout lyrics from YoungBoy Never Broke Again's debut.
