NBA YoungBoy‘s Slime Cry has been named by Rolling stone as the best album of 2025. Overall, the album is a significant moment in the rapper’s career. “In May, NBA YoungBoy dropped ‘Shot Callin,’ part of his comeback campaign after he spent much of 2024 in prison on gun charges,” wrote Rolling Stone senior editor Jeff Ihaza. “It was the sound of NBA YoungBoy reclaiming his place in the rap game – and became the statement song of 2025.”
Slime Cry marks the rapper’s first album since completing his massive “make america slime Again” arena tour in November 2024. The tour experienced some controversy, including cancellations in chicago and Atlanta, and also an incident were a teenager reportedly attacked him during a concert. Despite these issues, the tour was highly accomplished, earning $28.3 million dollars from selling 231,000 tickets across 17 shows, according to Billboard.
“You might feel a sensory overload, but you will never be bored by the Baton Rouge rapper’s compulsion, appetites, or his enduring melancholy that exist in the fog of the music, even when he is being violent, even when he is an egotistical maximalist,” wrote Rolling Stone contributor Jason Buford in a review of YoungBoy’s Newark, New Jersey stop. “At that show, he let adults into his web that the youth currently find irresistible. Packed in an area with people I might have babysat five years ago, YoungBoy was the 2Pac for his generation.”
Throughout 2024 and 2025, YoungBoy has also made significant charitable contributions, donating tens of thousands of dollars to anti-violence organizations across the country, including Atlanta’s YouthSpark and Dallas‘s Manifest Freedom and Urban Specialists.
