You know you're living life on the edge when 21 Savage tells you to put the chopper away.
That's one of the situations Baton Rouge rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again describes during the latest episode of MASS APPEAL's Open Space. The MC sat with us to discuss his relationship with his rap mentors (21 included), the effects of jail on his life and what fuels his admiration for Kendrick Lamar.
What fascinates many people about YoungBoy is how aware he is of his precarious practices. He included a clip of Meek Mill expressing his concern for him at the start of the video for "Untouchable" and his recent songs like "No Smoke" don't hide the fact that he's on constant alert. In the Open Space interview, he explains how fellow Louisiana standouts Kevin Gates and Boosie Badazz have helped him contend with these realities. "Gates, he told me just keep working. Boosie, he showed me some things that you might not want to hear about," YoungBoy says.
YoungBoy recently dropped his 'AI YoungBoy' mixtape. Watch his "Open Space" above.
