NBA Youngboy enlist only Nicki Minaj as the guest artist on “Ma’ I Got A Family Now.”
Although recent legal difficulties, YB remains a pivotal character in hip-hop, despite being more contentious than most. With an infinite supply of music, massive statistics, a do-or-die fan base, and rising label initiatives, the only thing that might derail NBA YoungBoy’s meteoric rise is himself but this doesn’t seem near. YB’s performances are all about passion, as he smoothly glides over bayou-inspired synths with his dramatic, whispered softly cadence. Ma’ I Got A Family, which boasts Nicki Minaj and (surprise) budding new wave sensation Yeat, has 19 tracks and demonstrates YoungBoy’s mix of infectious hooks, adaptable rhythms, and swift verses.
This record really kicks off with the exciting “Pop Out.”
NBA YoungBoy spits over some rock-n-roll beats here, which doesn’t happen very often. The groove on “Pop Out” is one that Kurt Cobain would be really pleased with. NBA YoungBoy, on the other hand, effortlessly swings the groove while spitting forth rough rap lyrics and incredibly calm melodies. Lyrically, he reinforces that he is driven by women, Glocks, and retaliation. Overall, I had a lot of fun seeing him work to this rhythm.
The switch from “Pop Out” to “Rain” is flawless.
“Rain” is driven by anguish, emotion, and tenacity. NBA YoungBoy amps up his feelings in the song, employing a cold rap style and strong voice to comment about his difficult times and yearning for connection. Overall, I appreciate how many nuances there are in this song. I also enjoy how sensitive NBA becomes to it.
Alexander McQueen, it appears, brings out the best in NBA YoungBoy.
First and most importantly, “McQueen” has an exceptional production. The track that NBA YoungBoy spits his rhymes over is harsh, intricate, and unique from what you’re used to listening to him spew over. NBA deserves recognition as well. He performs an excellent job of mixing between such a wide assortment of sounds, maintaining the tempo under control, and identifying the precise genres prepared to shine out. NBA YoungBoy invests in “Chose” and “Rose Gold.”
Sincerity is damned, I adore how NBA YoungBoy approaches “Chose” and “Rose Gold.” He smoothly transitions from frenetic and frigid rhythms in the two tracks, reveals his bitter side, and creates the perfect blend of combative and wicked.
In the song “Change On Me,” the mask is totally removed.
He talks about his greatest vulnerability in “Change On Me”: women. It’s amazing to hear him perform the song while seeming transparent, sincere, and sensitive. The track could have advanced a few slots on this list if the production quality had been better, in my opinion.
Interestingly, NBA YoungBoy excels at shifting into “Sport Mode” when it has to.
Another of those compositions, “Sport Mode,” will reach your emotions before it reaches your senses. NBA’s incredibly moving voice and relaxed raps, in addition to the song’s melancholy beat, will have a big impact on you. You’ll find yourself following the steps even with his words, which alternate between egomania and humility. Who would have guessed that NBA was Geppeto?
The tracks that NBA YoungBoy recites and performs over are among the factors that, in my opinion, make this cd the one where you can hear him at his finest. You experience plenty of gorgeous production in Ma’ I Got A Family. NBA YoungBoy provides us with powerful sound choices over the majority of songs along with, in my opinion, great rapping. I believe that the production of this cd has made NBA sound overall much more concentrated.
NBA Youngboy Has Signed A Deal With Motown Records
I adore how NBA YoungBoy often produces his records by him. Having said that, I liked listening to Nicki Minaj and Yeat on Ma’ I Got A Family. Although that left much to be desired in “I Admit,” I felt the former performed “I Don’t Text Back” remarkably well. Nevertheless, witnessing those two musicians here was entertaining. There are several strong performances on this CD. NBA YoungBoy, in my perspective, is unique when he amps up his emotional story as he does in Ma’ I Got A Family. On this album, his words are strong, his rap delivery is powerful, and his voice hit hard.
In 2023, Youngboy continued putting out new music as he released three new projects. The rapper’s third project of the year “Richest Opp” in May, followed up on the previously released 33-track album “Don’t Try This At Home” and January’s “I Rest My Case“.
Sensitive Kentrell was given preference over the Grim Reaper.
