History Tilts As YoungBoy Never Broke Again Releases “Slime Cry”

YoungBoy Never Broke Again drops Slime Cry, a new album arriving alongside a historic milestone that placed him above every rapper before him. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, YoungBoy holds 126 RIAA certifications, officially crowning him the most certified rap artist of all time! YoungBoy’s 140.5 million certified units place him behind only Elvis Presley across all genres—surpassing artists like Drake, Kanye West, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Eminem, and Rihanna. The pace is unprecedented because it’s a benchmark achieved through legacy timelines, but this time compressed into less than a decade of relentless output. Shaped by a direct-to-fan ecosystem that has consistently bypassed traditional radio and industry machinery, “Slime Cry” arrives as a continuation of that momentum,

What typically takes generations of catalog building, YoungBoy has executed before his mid-20s, earning recognition as the most successful rapper of the past decade. Across platforms, YoungBoy has generated more than 30 billion global streams, including over 16 billion YouTube views. He also holds the record for the most Gold-certified songs in music history—surpassing the combined totals of Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, and Michael Jackson. The scale extends beyond recordings. YoungBoy’s Make America Slime Again Tour ranks among the highest-grossing hip-hop tours in U.S. history, moving over 500,000 tickets and generating more than $75 million across 42 shows—placing him in a rare company alongside Drake, Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, and 50 Cent.
