Career as a Rapper

NBA YoungBoy got acquainted with fellow Baton Rouge rapper, OG 3Three, and together they did unlawful acts to pay for their studio time. He was only fourteen years old when he started producing his own music using a microphone. 

The rapper was inspired to record his own music and produce mixtapes because of a local artist named Lil Phat. In 2014, he succeeded and released his very first song, Life Before Fame. This was then followed by the trilogy releases called Mind of a Menace.

Two years went by, YoungBoy released another meteoric mixtape 38 Baby which earned him a lot of attention with millions of views on YouTube. He collaborated with fellow Baton Rouge rapper Scotty Cain for a ‘song-for-song rap beef’.
