YoungBoy Never Broke Again Releases New Full-Length Album UNTIL DEATH CALL MY NAME  Image

YoungBoy Never Broke Again has announced today's release of his massively anticipated full-length debut album. "UNTIL DEATH CALL MY NAME" is available now at all music retailers and streaming services HERE.

A provocative, poignant, and rather complex body of work that sees THE GIFTED Baton Rouge-based rapper promising to push ever harder to better the lives of his family. "UNTIL DEATH CALL MY NAME" includes a number of critically acclaimed tracks, including "Diamond Teeth Samurai," "Solar Eclipse," and the RIAA gold certified smash, "Outside Today."

All three tracks are joined by powerful companion visuals streaming now via YoungBoy's official YouTube channel. "Solar Eclipse" has already drawn over 51 million views HERE while "Outside Today" is fast approaching 86 million views HERE and "Diamond Teeth Samurai" just hit 25 million views HERE.

At a time where he is facing many challenges, YoungBoy has chosen to speak to fans through his music with the release of his newest visual, "Overdose." In addition to this he has further commemorated his debut album, by sharing a personalized bucket list of some of the goals he would like to achieve in the coming years and invites fans to follow this journey with him. Stay tuned for more details on the official Never Broke Again LLC., Instagram.

"UNTIL DEATH CALL MY NAME" marks the official follow up to last year's standout "AI YOUNGBOY," highlighted by the RIAA platinum certified single, "Untouchable," and the platinum certified smash, "No Smoke" - the latter marking YoungBoy's first ever RIAA certification. Both tracks' companion videos are also huge hip-hop favorites, with "Untouchable" logging over 115 million views and "No Smoke" boasting over 98 million views via Youtube alone HERE.

"AI YOUNGBOY" - which followed a series of increasingly acclaimed mixtapes, including "AIN'T TOO LONG" - proved one of 2017's most highly regarded projects with inclusion on an array of year-end lists, including The New York Times' "Best Albums of 2017" and Vulture's "10 Best Rap Albums of 2017," which declared the mixtape to be "a spotless introduction to (YoungBoy's) world." Pitchfork named "AI YOUNGBOY" to its "20 Best Rap Albums of 2017," writing, "It's a cold and absorbing project that bubbles with pent-up rage and unease as it hides trauma with gun-toting machismo... (YoungBoy) has grown into a formidable MC in his own right, versatile and charming. These are tales of a young man trying to find his way, one who feels beholden to the same streets that could cost him his life." "YoungBoy is rapping harder than ever about doing what's necessary to stay on a path to salvation," wrote Noisey in its "100 Best Albums of 2017." "The bigger space he gives to spirited harmonizing adds more tenderness to his sentiments towards getting his family on solid ground, outside of Louisiana's borders. The result of both is a layered emotional outpouring well BEYOND his years."

"AIN'T TOO LONG" was first unleashed towards the end of 2017 to widespread critical applause, including XXL, which praised the lead single, "War With Us," as "a hard-body track (that) finds the young MC talking tough while posting up in the hood." "'AIN'T TOO LONG' finds (YoungBoy) a better singer and songwriter than ever before," decreed Pitchfork. "He's never cold-hearted or detached. YoungBoy runs hot with revenge and remains obsessed with safeguarding his family at home and in the streets."
