Upcoming artist YoungBoy Never Broke Again announced the release date of his upcoming album Until Death Call My name. The 18-year-old Baton Rouge rapper took to Instagram to announce the anticipated date, March 2, for the album. The rapper packaged it with a new single titled, “Love is Poison.”
Back in August, NBA YoungBoy joined artists like Cardi B, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and Lil Uzi Vert after signing a five-album deal with Atlantic Records. The deal is reportedly worth $2 million. This young artist has been working hard dropping a 14- track mixtape titled Fed babys in November with Interscope signee and Yo Gotti affiliate Moneybagg Yo.
The Louisiana rapper and father of two sons is also responsible for three projects that dropped in 2017 – Mind of a Menace Reloaded, AI Youngboy and Ain’t Too Long which dropped in December. Youngboy announced toward the end of 2017 that he planned to release a mixtape titled, Ahlan, which translates to ‘welcome’ in Arabic, but the project was never released.
The “Solar Eclipse” rapper made a major splash in the hip-hop game last year with consistent music and collaborating with popular artists like Quavo, Lil Durk, Kevin Gates and others. NBA has not released a tracklist or cover art for the new album. He recently dropped visuals for the track “Solar Eclipse,” which could find a spot on the newest album.
With NBA Youngboy dropping so much music in 2017, he may want to hold onto some of those verses as he looks at a long road of fulfilling his contract obligation of five albums. With album one releasing March 2, it’ll be interesting going forward to see a tracklist for the album and who he brought into the studio to collaborate with on the anticipated project.
