Gucci Gang rapper Lil Pump released his long-awaited third studio album, Lil Pump 2 this weekend. The project features the high-energy trap music that the rapper is known for, along with a few surprises. Among them is “Pump Rock x Heavy Metal,” a rock song that features metal elements. There are also guest appearances from artists like YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Rio Da Yung OG, Smokepurpp, Ty Dolla Sign, and G4 Boyz. The new release speaks about the subjects you’d expect from Pump: drugs, women, money, and guns.
Musically, LP2 is similar to his previous work as most of the songs have a catchy hook, a heavy, hard-hitting baseline, and strong 808s. It’s worth noting that this project, like his past releases, has its high and low moments. “I Don’t Mind” featuring YoungBoy Never Broke Again is widely considered one of the best songs on the album, while the aforementioned “Pump Rock x Heavy Metal” was met with more trepidation. Thus far, the reception to Lil Pump 2 has been mixed. While some fans are enjoying the 16-track effort, others feel like it’s more hit or miss.
Lil Pump 2 is Here
Lil Pump has been working on this album since 2019, completely dedicating himself to the follow-up to his 2017 self-titled project. In 2022 the artist made a since-deleted Instagram post hinting at LP2‘s existence. At the time he teased, “’Lil Pump 2’ is a masterpiece I can’t wait for you guys to hear it.”
Additionally, the 22-year-old made reference to it in an interview with Inked Magazine last year, claiming that the album would be released in August 2022. He said, “Yessirski! It’s dropping in August around my birthday. It’s about to be crazy. This is gonna be a masterpiece.” Lil Pump 2 is a solid reminder to the public of who he is and what he’s capable of. Will you be tuning in? Let us know in the comments below.
NBA Youngboy is at the height of his career, though his legal issues continue to hinder his full potential. YB emerged out of prison, landed on house arrest, and began unloading project after project in a historic run. However, he recorded everything from the comfort of his home, though not by choice. The rapper isolated himself in Utah where he locked in projects like The Last Slimeto and I Rest My Case.
YB made the most of his time but it appears that a judge decided to loosen up some conditions. Per All Hip Hop, Judge Shelly Dick removed two conditions from his restrictive release. One, in particular, allows YB to invite more than three guests into his home at a time. “No more than three persons may visit Gaulden at his home at any time. (19) No visitors are allowed at the Defendant’s home before 7 a.m. or after 9 p.m. ‘Home’ is defined as the Defendant’s residence and all property and appurtenances of the residence. It is so ordered. Signed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, this 15th day of March 2023,” the ruling reads.
NBA Youngboy’s House Arrest Conditions
NBA Youngboy’s remained on house arrest since late 2021. In October of that year, the rapper put up $1.5M bail. The judge ordered him to live on house arrest. The conditions didn’t allow more than three visitors at a time outside of his wife, business manager, and producer, who also resided in the same home. However, his latest attempt proved fruitful since he attempted to get off house arrest in July, though the judge denied the bid.
While YB could’ve lived anywhere, he opted for a quieter environment in Utah, which has been his creative haven. Though isolated, he honed into his craft, maintaining a sense of peace, despite the chaos that surrounds him in the music industry. It was during this time that he also secured a deal with Motown Records, ending his tenure with Atlantic, who he’s been signed to since late 2017. Hopefully, he’ll be a free man soon and we’ll get to see the rapper hit the road once his legal issues are resolved.
Rapper NBA YoungBoy has been granted a modification to his house arrest rules after being arrested on a prior gun charge in Baton Rouge, LA.
Court documents obtained by AllHipHop show that Judge Shelly Dick decided to make YoungBoy’s house arrest less restrictive on Wednesday. The Louisiana judge removed two conditions from the rapper’s supervised release — as a result of the ruling, he’ll be allowed to have more than three visitors without a curfew at his home
“The Court issues this written Order modifying condition number 18 and condition number 19 of the Order Setting Conditions of Release, Document 142 filed on October 27, 2021, for the Defendant, [NBA YoungBoy (real name Kentrell Gaulden)],” the documents read.
They continued: “It is hereby ordered that condition number 18 and condition number 19 of the Defendant’s Order Setting Conditions of Release are modified as follows: (18) No more than three persons may visit Gaulden at his home at any time. (19) No visitors are allowed at the Defendant’s home before 7 a.m. or after 9 p.m. ‘Home’ is defined as the Defendant’s residence and all property and appurtenances of the residence. It is so ordered. Signed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, this 15th day of March 2023.”
In October 2021, YoungBoy, who was facing two federal gun charges at the time, was released on $1.5million bail and ordered to live under house arrest. His release limited him to three visitors at a time, in addition to his wife, a producer and his business manager, who also shared his home. The rapper fought back and petitioned to get off house arrest this past July, but was denied.
Last month, the rapper spoke with Billboard about his recent situation. YoungBoy, who has been living in Utah under house arrest, called it his “best experience.” Additionally, he noted that the experience changed his perspective on life and music.
“I’m very scared right now,” he said later in the article. “It’s just natural. I’m not big on people. I never knew why once I walked on the stage, I could get it done and leave — but I am terrified of people. People are cruel. This is a cruel place.”
He added: “You’ve got to be thankful for it. It’s very beautiful, you know? There’s so much you can experience inside of it. But it is a very cruel place. And it’s not my home.”

Lil Durk has yet to respond to India Royale and NBA Youngboy’s back-and-forth. However, fans are anticipating that he’ll eventually issue another incoherent message on Instagram. On Monday night, things went left after India Royale lashed out at NBA Youngboy for heckling Lil Durk’s attempt to win back his ex. “Lol damn I know how it be when that h*e turn to a demon,” he tweeted following Durk’s weekend-long Instagram tirade. That response evidently got under India Royale’s skin, who went in on NBA Youngboy for mentioning the father of her child.
“Don’t speak on me bitch. I let you slide the first time,” she wrote. “That’s still my BD. Ion play about him. Y’all can chill. Fr.” The fact that India even responded caught everyone off-guard. Still, she didn’t clarify who she was speaking about until she referred to YB as “Dent Head.” As she and YB continued to trade shots back and forth, Durk began to trend online as many expected him to come to India’s defense.
Lil Durk Trends On Twitter
Durk’s recent social media output made him an immediate target when India Royale began going in on NBA Youngboy. Though he and India Royale appeared to have their fair share of issues when it came to their relationship, it felt surprising that she would even give YB the time of day. Still, her flurry of responses to the Louisiana rapper in defense of the father of her child led fans to come to their own conclusions of how he would respond.
Over the weekend, Durk shared several statements where he professed his love for India and vowing to make things right. Though he initially stated that the two were done, he followed up with a lengthy message where he explained that he wants to work things out. Ultimately, India Royale appeared to be fed up with his online antics and reiterated that she’s single. Perhaps, this feud with YB could bring them closer together. Check out the responses below.
The beef between Lil Durk and NBA Youngboy appears to have expanded into a Chicago vs. Everybody situation. Last night, YB’s comments regarding Durk’s relationship with India Royale sparked a bevy of tweets from Durk’s otherwise quiet ex-fiancée. Royale snapped after YB chimed in on their issues, delivering a flurry of subliminal tweets before confirming that she’s “talking about dent head,” a comment that 600 Breezy found particularly funny. “Called his lil ass dent head [crying emoji] I love Chicago,” 600 Breezy wrote on Twitter.
Despite India’s humorous take, the mother of one of NBA Youngboy’s children, leaped to YB defense in response to Breezy. “Don’t you got 3 triplets that you don’t take care of?” she wrote. “D*ck riding is at an all time high rn.” And while this could’ve simply been the end of the interaction, Breezy snapped back while bringing up allegations made by YB’s other baby momma, Jania Meshell, who said the Louisiana rapper gave her herpes. “Don’t you got herpes that you don’t take care of. Breakouts are at an all time high too boo,” he quipped.
NBA Youngboy’s BM & 600 Breezy Continue Trading Shots
Shortly after 600 Breezy mentioned NBA Youngboy’s alleged herpes diagnosis, Arcola continued to allege that the Chicago rapper doesn’t take care of his children. She claimed that he’s “loud and wrong,” adding, “Dead beat is at an all time high.” Still, Breezy made it clear that he takes care of all of his children and that their mothers are quite loyal to him. “All 4 of my real bay mamas said they will beat yo ass,” he wrote along with a shrugging emoji.
Around the same time she took shots at 600 Breezy, she also called out India Royale. “Not too much on him… child tf out ms mamas,” she added. However, India wasn’t necessarily going to bite the bait. She quietly replied on Twitter, “Ignoring you like your BD do.” Afterward, Royale reacted to the numerous individuals trying to speak on the matter. “Now everybody wanna chime in with their opinion. I see what Tupac was talking about,” she continued. Check out 600 Breezy and Arcola’s exchange above and peep India Royale’s tweets below.
It really takes one common enemy to bring two people together, and that person is NBA Youngboy. In the midst of Lil Durk’s attempt to win India Royale back, NBA Youngboy couldn’t help but allegedly comment on their relationship woes. From a non-verified account Akademiks said belonged to YB, the “Right Foot Creep” rapper sympathized with Durk’s position, albeit snarkily. “Lol damn I know how it be when that h*e turn to a demon,” the tweet reads, along with a laughing emoji.
Afterward, Youngboy reiterated the campaign slogan for his upcoming album, Don’t Try This At Home, writing, “It’s all entertainment. Given Youngboy’s long-standing feud with Lil Durk, India Royale wasn’t about to allow the rapper to disrespect the father of her child, regardless of their current standings. India unleashed a pair of tweets aimed at a subliminal target. “Don’t speak on me bitch. I let you slide the first time,” she wrote. “That’s still my BD. Ion play about him. Y’all can chill. Fr,” she added. At this point, fans largely speculated that she took issue with NBA Youngboy’s comments but she later made it abundantly clear in her subsequent tweets.
India Royale Clashes With NBA Youngboy
“That lil boy need to find somebody to play with. You was just a dirty lil bad kid. You ain’t like that Fr,” India wrote afterward before confirming that she’s “talking about dent head.” India then questioned Youngboy’s street credentials. “Ppl think because they was dirty and in the hood they automatically gang,” she wrote. “You wasn’t toting no guns, you was food deprived.” Evidently, Royale wasn’t necessarily interested in allowing NBA Youngboy to continue taking shots at her.
“Don’t be dense. If he wasn’t talking about me this time he was the last time,” India commented on Instagram. “TF Ima real Chicago b*tch. Y’all don’t lost it.” It seems as though YB found the interaction rather amusing as he shared a screenshot of “DentHead” on Apple Music. “[crying laughing emoji] b*tch I know 1 thing you ain’t gone muthaf*cking play with me,” he tweeted with the picture. Check out India Royale’s comments above.
NBA Youngboy will release his new album sooner than you think! NBA YoungBoy, also known as YoungBoy Never Broke Again, is one of the most popular rappers in the game now. He’s been making waves with his unique style and sound, and fans are anticipating his album,‘Don’t Try This At Home.’
On February 27, the rapper announced on social media that the album will be released in April. On that same day, he released a new song called “Next” which will probably be on his next album. However, below is everything we know about the album so far.
NBA Youngboy Album: The Release Date
Don’t Try This At Home is YoungBoy’s sixth full-length studio album, after his fifth studio album,I Rest My Case. YoungBoy first talked about the album on his AMP radio show. He asked fans which project they would prefer, Don’t Try This At Home or I Rest My Case.
Nevertheless. YoungBoy was featured on the cover of Billboard’s Power 100 magazine in February, where he mentioned the album’s release. As of right now, there is no official release date for ‘Don’t Try This At Home.’ Fans thought it was just another name for IRMC. However, he teased the project on the NBA Instagram page when YoungBoy released AI YoungBoy 3.
Also, NBA YoungBoy has been teasing the album on social media and in interviews. With his post on Instagram, it’s safe to assume that it will be dropping soon in April. Fans eagerly await news about the release date, and it’s sure to be a highly anticipated event when it drops.
NBA Youngboy Album: The Features
‘Don’t Try This At Home,’ is definitely a big album that will reinstate NBA YoungBoy as a great rapper.

NBA Despite his desire to become a Mormon, YoungBoy isn’t quite ready to walk on from violent songs. Remember when NBA YoungBoy stated that he wants to put an end to the violence? While he has reduced how he talks about shooting people, he hasn’t ceased talking about dunking on people on “Next.”
The Sound
NBA YoungBoy has always had a unique sound, blending elements of Southern rap with more melodic and emotional lyrics. Based on what we’ve heard so far, ‘Don’t Try This At Home’ will continue in the same vein. The first single from the album, ‘Toxic Punk,’ features YoungBoy’s signature style, with a catchy hook and introspective verses. It’s clear that he’s continuing to evolve as an artist, and fans can expect to see more in his sound next.

And this could cement NBA YoungBoy’s place as one of the biggest names in rap. With his unique sound and style, there’s no limit to where he’ll go next.
However, while waiting for his new album release, you can keep streaming “Next” since it will be on the new album. The song is a fantastic banger with a lot of flexing and a little threatening.

In conclusion, YoungBoy’s ‘Don’t Try This At Home’ album is one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year. His fans are happy to see who else might be on the album.

Also, let’s know your thoughts in the comment section about this big event that is about to shake the industry!
The one-year anniversary of Lil Durk’s 7220 album is quickly approaching, and for some time now, the Chicago native has been teasing a follow-up project for fans. The 17-track effort found him working with Future, Gunna, Summer Walker, and Morgan Wallen, setting expectations high for whatever he’s got in store next. Unfortunately, some recent rap beef is beginning to overshadow excitement surrounding The Voice 2.0.
As you may have seen online earlier this week, the “Laugh Now Cry Later” collaborator seemingly reignited his past feud with NBA YoungBoy and Quando Rondo. “I can drop this single and f*ck the streets up, on God,” Durkio wrote on Instagram recently. “Your release date ain’t safe son.” Though he didn’t explicitly name-drop anyone in the post, internet sleuths assumed he was dissing the Never Broke Again artists.
Lil Durk’s Back & Forth with Quando Rondo and NBA YoungBoy
As AceShowBiz notes, YoungBoy’s Don’t Try This at Home album is due to drop sometime in April. The Louisana native has already had a busy year, previously sharing 19 titles on I Rest My Case as well as a single called, “Next.” For Quando’s part, he’s been steadily working on his forthcoming release, 1633. He’s already unveiled the cover art, also announcing that his work will be dedicated to the late Lul Pab, who lost his life in a tragic shooting last year.
“One more month,” the 23-year-old wrote. “I put my heart in this album, seen a lot of blood sweat and tears. Lost my right-hand man in front of my eyes. I love you thug, I’m going number one for you big brah.” In response to Durk’s apparent sneak diss, Quando wrote on his own Story, “Drop that shit, we all on a time schedule!” Clearly, the Savannah native is unbothered by any potential competition from his fellow rapper.
Back in Album Mode
In wake of the interesting social media exchange, blogs began lighting up with rumours of beef between OTF and NBA. For his part, the father of six is attempting to combat the drama with yet another message written on his IG Story. “If I don’t say it out loud, it’s not real,” he reminded readers before asking them to “stop click-baiting Smurk.”
“Back to album,” he confirmed, though an official release date and other details surrounding the highly anticipated project are unknown at this time. Who do you hope to see Lil Durk work with on The Voice 2.0? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
Even with a new album dropping earlier this year, YoungBoy Never Broke Again hasn’t stopped hustling when it comes to dropping fire tracks. Most recently, he released “Demon Party” this Thursday (March 2) on YouTube, accompanied by a music video that similarly exemplifies the hauntingly reflective nature of the song. “Demon Party” joins YoungBoy’s fifth studio album I Rest My Case and single “NEXT” as his first solo releases of 2023.
Although this most recent song reveals YoungBoy’s troubling life, with lyrics like “made from a jail cеll, countin’ my property,” the 23-year-old still finds ways to include his successes. Above all, he refers to himself as a “boss,” and isn’t afraid of dark forces who want to attack him. The music video itself showcases YoungBoy standing solo, and through scenery exemplifies a dichotomy between fire and ice. Even with these seemingly harsh weather conditions, the Louisiana-born rapper remains contemplative and calm throughout the video.
YoungBoy Refuses To Hold Back With Upcoming Album, “Don’t Try This At Home”
On Tuesday (February 27), YoungBoy slyly dropped “NEXT,” which exudes more of an upbeat effort. Both releases from this week are attached to the rapper’s album DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME. Last month, he took to the Rap Radar podcast to discuss his upcoming project, describing work as being “peaceful.” While YoungBoy mentioned how he refrained from getting too aggressive with his lyrics in I Rest My Case, he has no inhibitions in his new effort. He told the podcast, “I’ma talk crazy on there. I’m a show you the Murda Man. I’m gon’ talk crazy on there, but I’m letting you know though, don’t try this at home. It’s all entertainment, bruh. I’ma talk my s### and everything I talk, I’m letting you know, don’t try this at home.”
While the release date has yet to be announced for DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME, YoungBoy has so far showcased the lack of control he’s hinted at with his lyrics. You can check out the music video for “Demon Party” up above. As always, keep in touch with HNHH for the latest news on hip-hop.
Quotable Lyrics:
Steady gettin’ high, I can’t sleep, ooh, what I ‘Cause the demons party all night long Get it? Hahaha, haha (‘Cause the demons party all night long)
The feud between OTF and Never Broke Again continues to escalate as Lil Durk and Quando Rondo appear to be revving up to release new music. Over the past few months, Durk’s continued to hint at the release of a new project, though he hasn’t provided much information on it. The rapper dropped his last album, 7220, over a year ago before releasing OTF’s Loyal Bros project in December. Clearly, he’s preparing to have the summer on lock with his follow-up.
In recent weeks, he’s hyped up the release. First, he mentioned that the forthcoming project “ain’t regular,” though he didn’t indicate what to expect. Most recently, he made it clear that he’s willing to step on anyone’s release date without fear. “I can drop this single and f*ck the streets up on god,” he wrote on Instagram this week. “Your release date ain’t safe son son.” It seemed unclear who is was targeting but the recent response from the Never Broke Again crew signals that they took it personally.
Quando Rondo Responds To Durk
This morning, NBA Youngboy allegedly addressed Durk’s latest post in a series of tweets from a new account. YB didn’t mince his words, either, calling Durk “old” while proving Joe Budden’s theory that the “Stop The Violence” campaign didn’t come from a genuine place. “Kiss my ass bitch see me in the streets,” YB wrote on Twitter. “Old ass think he slick stop watching me,” he added in another tweet while referring to Durk as a fan.
Though Quando Rondo certainly doesn’t have the numbers to back him like Durk or Youngboy, he evidently has little issue with the Chicago rapper dropping on the same day as him. He responded to Durk’s post about release dates, writing, “Drop that shit we all on a time schedule!” Quando Rondo previously stated that his upcoming album will drop in a month, which he’ll dedicate to the late Lul Pab, who was fatally shot last summer. “Seen a lot of blood sweat and tears I lost my right hand man in front of my eyes I love you thug I’m going number 1 for you big brah,” Rondos said earlier this week.
