NBA YoungBoy was undeniably one of the most active rappers of the year in 2022. Successfully dropping eight tapes over the past 12 months, the 23-year-old was all over everyone’s playlists.
It seems as though he has his eyes on continuing this trend in 2023 as well.
According to reports from Billboard, the Baton Rouge native will celebrate the first week of the new year by releasing his first offering of 2023. The album is titled I Rest My Case.
The official album cover is circulating on social media in anticipation of its arrival on streaming services on Friday (January 6).

Furthermore, the project will serve as YoungBoy’s first under his new label, Motown Records. He signed the deal in October last year and reports indicated that it would go into effect in 2023.
Following this news, the “Make No Sense” rapper claimed to be turning down large sums of money for potential tours. “I done found time for myself. Every $15 million tour come my way getting turned down. I don’t wanna do no show. I don’t want nothing but a bigger house. It gave me time for myself. My daughter know who I am, b*tch, I know who I am,” he flexes in the Instagram video.
The final of the aforementioned eight albums he released in 2022, was the 21-track Lost Files. Among the other seven are two joint projects with other rappers. The first of which is BETTER THAN YOU with Da Baby. The latter, released in November, is 3860 with Quando Rondo.
It will certainly be interesting to see how many more projects he drops off this year.

As 2022 comes to a close, NBA YoungBoy is keeping his foot on the gas. Just last week, he dropped off his eighth project of the year, Lost Files.
On Wednesday (December 28), he returns to drop off yet another single, “Letter To Big Dump.” The song serves as the Baton Rouge native’s tribute to his late friend, Big Dump. He was tragically shot and killed four years ago, in 2018.
Throughout the track’s nearly nine-minute runtime, the 23-year-old candidly reflects on losing people close to him. Moreover, he addresses the effects that these losses have on him. Drums are noticeably absent from the beat, as YoungBoy instead opts to get deep over a simple guitar loop.
“Look inside my eyes, I know they seen evil / But I been this way since I was a child and I feel I’m the one who deserve to leave here / I had a conversation with the man who contracted your life to be gone / I hope you seen my progress and glad I’m movin’ on, I’m grown” the Baton Rouge native sings explicitly in the first verse.
He dedicates the outro to addressing Dump directly, talking in a stream-of-conscious manner. “I’m over here, I’m gettin’ myself together, Dump / I’m startin’ the real n*gga, I’m too real / I’m holdin’ it down, man, I know, I know for a fact, you proud,” he says.
Although the new track is yet to arrive on streaming platforms, make sure to listen to it on YouTube above for now. Comment your thoughts on the song afterwards. Finally, make sure to tune into our newest holiday playlist here.
Quotable Lyrics:
They think I’m crazy from all this pain runnin’ deep through me
All the hurtful things, I just sit ’round and play like I don’t see
Give up all these things for to feel my grandma kiss on me
Broke down and I cried, ran to the bathroom, Jaz followed behind
2022 has been a busy year for NBA YoungBoy in more ways than one. The 23-year-old has dropped seven more full-length projects and countless YouTube videos in the past twelve months.
On top of this, his time has also been spent being a father to his growing list of children. The newest addition to his family came in September when he officially welcomed his tenth into the world.
This marked his second kid with his new fiancée, YouTuber Jazlyn Mychelle.
The “Make No Sense” rapper’s father duties run deep. His other eight children are with seven different women. Not all of them are happy with their situations.
One, in particular, is social media star, Jania Meshell. She and YB are co-parents to their son, Kacey. However, there has been some drama involving the pair.
The influencer recently took to her Instagram Stories to air out her feelings. “Nobody love me fr and yesterday showed me that when I’m not around I get talked about like a dog,” she wrote.
“The things I heard come out of somebody mouth tonight was so disrespectful,” she went on. “I don’t ever wanna deal with anyone ever again ’cause I just feel like everybody feel that way about me.”
It sounds like the 22-year-old has had enough of the drama surrounding YoungBoy. She subsequently concluded her message by announcing that she would be taking a break from social media to pull herself together.
Things with her baby daddy clearly didn’t work out. However, the influencer is currently dating Atlanta Hawks star, Dejounte Murray.
The Baton Rouge native was recently stirring up some beef with the new couple after hearing that his son was kicked out of the car by the point guard.
“I’m a real shooter b***h, yo bf a hoe! I was cool with him until he put my son out the car and made him walk,” he wrote in an IG Story.
Meshell later cleared the air on her own Instagram account. She asked Kacey while on Live if the NBA star has ever put them out. “He didn’t,” replied the six-year-old.
Furthermore, YoungBoy took shots at his baby mamas in late October. This came as a response to some tweets that a number of them had written about his alleged lack of a relationship with his kids.
Meshell was one such parent. “Growing up without one, I just love it for kids that actually have it,” she wrote on Twitter about “real fathers.”
It seems as though The Last Slimeto rapper is having an undeniably hard time balancing his responsibilities and keeping everyone happy.
