It’s safe to say NBA Youngboy has been on a successful run lately with releasing new music back to back.
Even though he may be on house arrest, NBA Youngboy proves yet again that nothing will stop him from releasing new music. The rapper released his third studio album, Sincerely Kentrell in September of last year while behind bars, the album debuted atop Billboard’s Hot 200.
In December, the 22-year-old rapper released his joint project with Hip-Hop heavyweight Birdman titled From the Bayou, which was home to singles such as “Black Ball,” “How Ya Kno,” “Choppa Boy,” and more.
Now, the Baton Rouge native has released his highly anticipated mixtape Colors featuring the single “Bring The Hook” that took shots at the late King Von.
The twenty-track project includes only one feature from a friend of NBA Youngboy, Quando Rondo on a single titled “Gangsta.” Check out the new project and let us know what you think!
Fresh off of receiving a diamond play button from YouTube for reaching 10 million subscribers, the Never Broke Again community has announced that new music from the Baton Rouge rap star is on the way.
NBA Youngboy is set to drop the new mixtape Colors, this Friday. The cover art and release date are out, and on every social media platform.
This is only the second week of the year and NBA Youngboy is dropping music for the second consecutive week. Last week, the 22-year-old rapper dropped a verse on DeBaby’s new joint “Bestie/Hit.” He also dropped two new songs of his own. new songs “Foolish Figure,” “Emo Love,” “Emo Rockstar,” and “Fish Scale” are all projected to be on the new mixtape.
GoldLink participated in the COLORS video series to debut his latest single “Justine’s Interlude.” The twice-Grammy nominee Washington, D.C. rapper once again toggles the line between Rap & R&B in his latest release, a meditative song only comparable to the artist’s melodic voice.
Crooning about tenderness, keeping loved ones close, losing them, the dizzying, lush nature of the industry, and so forth, the past XXL Freshmen double-dutches between piano trills and a soft-punching bass. The vulnerability GoldLink brings to “Justine’s Interlude” makes it so the rapper not only turns the mirror on his adversaries, but also on himself: “You do something to me / I write all my song about women I never keep.” So it’s only apt that the color scheme of the room matches “Justine’s Interlude,” not a melancholic blue, or a drab grey, but something honest to the touch like a honey-brown, something like skin.
“Mac died, and I couldn’t talk / Couldn’t bear the thought / Two days before it, we was talkin’ ‘bout love and loss / Then he mentioned Ariana’s mom, and newer songs / Never told a soul, but I knew he was dead all along.”
The “Crew” rapper is coming down from the success of his 2017 At What Costalbum furthers his unique storytelling abilities here by naming that which was has gone nameless.
Throughout “Justine’s Interlude,” GoldLink, who is close friends with Brooklyn-native singer Justine Skye, whom the song is named after, alludes to Sheck Wes and the rumored late 2018 abuse allegations:
“I think it’s funny how blogs talk / So many shows I had been to where models walked / So many stories about you and so and so from Harlem / And ain’t too many from Harlem / So take a guess.”
To dispel the heaviness, GoldLink concludes with a playful Harlem Shake.
Other recent Colors series guests include J.I.D. and Jay Rock. In 2018, GoldLink appeared on albums by Denzel Curry, Mya, and Tom Misch, among others.
