TOP 3

Honorable Mention. Diesel

On “Diesel,” NBA YoungBoy floats over a slick, shadowy trap beat and delivers one of his most unhinged performances to date, shifting between chaotic outbursts, eerie calm, and explosive energy like a ticking time bomb with no pattern. You never know what version of him you’re about to get next, which makes the track as unsettling as it is captivating.

Lyrically, YoungBoy is in full attack mode—spitting with icy conviction about wiping out enemies, standing tall through the madness, and embracing the chaos that surrounds him. “Diesel” isn’t just another track—it’s a dive straight into the most theatrical and unpredictable corners of his psyche.

What’s wrong with this jigga?

3. Kickboxer

If you’ve ever wondered what NBA YoungBoy would sound like gliding over a triumphant, trap-heavy beat that feels tailor-made for Jeezy or Gucci Mane, “Kickboxer” is your answer. The production comes in hot with booming drums and victorious horns, setting the stage for a full-on flex session, and YoungBoy delivers exactly that.

From start to finish, he bounces between relentless, laid-back, and high-energy flows once again, showcasing just how nimble he is behind the mic. Lyrically, “Kickboxer” is all chest-puffing confidence: he raps about escaping the gutter, stacking checks, rocking expensive diamonds, and running through women like it’s nothing. This isn’t introspective YoungBoy—this is him stepping into the booth purely to remind people that he’s still got it like that.

2. Peepin

On “Peepin,” NBA YoungBoy taps into a rarely celebrated side of his artistry—one that balances raw street narratives with moments of emotional vulnerability. The track rides over a bluesy, soul-soaked hip-hop beat that feels more jazz club than bando, and YoungBoy wastes no time putting his versatility on full display.

From the jump, his lyrics hit like war reports with heart. He reflects on loyalty, paranoia, and surviving chaos while keeping a close eye on the fake energy around him. What makes “Peepin” special is how he shifts gears throughout: there’s a version of him that sounds theatrical and haunted, another that comes across as animalistic and on edge, and then one that’s calm, calculated, and cold. These vocal shifts bring texture to a track that’s already rich with tension. It’s not just a banger—it’s a layered, introspective street sermon that shows YoungBoy is still more than capable of connecting with hood disciples.

1. Priorities

“Priorities” is one of the more balanced, addictive records NBA YoungBoy has dropped all year. If you’re a fan of YoungBoy when he’s not on full-on demon time, but still has that edge, this is that version. The track rides out over a hard-hitting yet silky, soul-infused beat, offering the kind of sonic duality that makes it feel both luxurious and raw.

Lyrically, YoungBoy leans into the flexes that made him a household name: stacks of money, street power, and women who are ride-or-die. But it’s the delivery that really elevates this one. He raps in a chopped-up, almost conversational flow that glides over the instrumental like he’s just cooling in the backseat of a Phantom. And when the chorus hits, he sings with just enough melody to make it catchy, but not so much that it loses its grit.

Make America Slime Again by giving us a bunch of tracks that sound like this, YB.
