Fresh off joining forces with Birdman for their collaborative project From the Bayou, YoungBoy Never Broke Again returns today with his first new song of 2022.
Released in tandem with a music video, “Fish Scale” is the promo single from YoungBoy’s untitled forthcoming mixtape, which is dropping this month. “New tape less than two weeks,” he wrote in the YouTube description for the track.
“Spotted him, I sent a pic to that n***a to show him I’m only lettin’ him breathe/Shot at him, I swung that stick at that n***a/The bullets, they stronger than Hercules,” he raps over sinister production.
“Fish Scale” arrives on the heels of his latest single “Black Ball,” and comes just two months after the Baton Rogue rapper was released from jail under a strict home confinement order that includes a GPS monitor and 24/7 surveillance. He was arrested on an outstanding federal warrant.
Back in November, YoungBoy highlighted his Never Broke Again crew with the Never Broke Again Vol. 1 project, an 18-track project that comes on the heels of his fourth No. 1 album, Sincerely, Kentrell, which in October knocked Drake’s Certified Lover Boy out of the top spot on the Billboard 200 with 137,000 equivalent album units sold in its first week.
