NBA YoungBoy, the rapper who has been recently sentenced to 27 months in federal prison for illegal gun possession, is back to business. The intense lyricist dropped five songs today on YouTube, just as he always does.

Along with this unexpected drop, he revealed the title and release date of his forthcoming album, I Got a Lot on My Shoulders, due December 6, 2024.

NBA YoungBoy's release for 2024 tracks is only the year's second release for the top rapper. That rapper has had a long career of consistently accessible music to immediately be able to get that name to ring in your head.

With his previous works racking up millions of streams, he's found his niche in the modern hip-hop scene.

The clip has since sparked debates around cultural exchange and the global penetration of hip-hop music.

This prompted many fans to weigh in on Twitter in reaction to the viral video. It sparked comments from praising the spirit of the supporters to allegations of cultural appropriation.

"Same across the Asian culture too — fu***d up like around...," one commented. Other remarks include, "The way these Asian people are appropriating black culture to this level is delusional," and other tens of people patted their backside.
