Fresh off releasing his fifth solo full-length project of 2022, YoungBoy Never Broke Again has signed a deal with the Universal Music Group-owned Motown.
According to Billboard, the Baton Rouge rapper will begin releasing music through Motown in 2023. Complex reached to a YoungBoy rep, who confirmed the signing. The news arrives a year after he announced a joint venture with Motown Records and his Never Broke Again collective.
“I felt like I had a responsibility to my artists to make sure to find the right partner for my label,” YoungBoy said at the time. “I’m looking forward working with Ethiopia, Kenoe and Motown Records.”
Last week YB joined forces with DJ Drama to drop Ma I Got a Family, which marked NBA YoungBoy’s sixth offering of the year, following Colors, The Last Slimeto, Better Than You, Realer 2, and 3800 Degrees.
After releasing the 19-track LP, YoungBoy teased plans to release four more projects before 2023.
“Fun challenge ‘10 tapes 1 year ??’” he wrote on YouTube. “I’m finna be on 6 you think I can do it?”
