YoungBoy Never Broke Again has finally dropped his first album since he was released from prison.

On Friday, July 25, the Baton Rouge native released his new studio LP MASA (Make America Slime Again) via Never Broke Again, LLC. The project comes with 30 tracks, including previously released singles, "Diesel," "Where I Been," "Kickboxer," and more. The 25-year-old rap star recruited Playboi Carti to jump on "Fire Your Manager," and Mellow Rackz for "Cold World." On the song "XXX," YB gives a nod to President Donald Trump, who recently granted him a pardon and freed him from prison.

"Whatever Trump doin', b***h it's good for the youngins," he raps.

After he pleaded guilty to possessing a gun as a felon, NBA YoungBoy spent a year in prison before he was released earlier this year. He was supposed to spend the next five years on supervised release. Fortunately for him, President Trump gave the prominent rapper a pardon. Shortly after learning about his pardon, YB issued a statement to his Instagram Story thanking Trump, Pardon Czar Alice Marie Johnson, and everyone who believed in him. The pardon allowed YB to hit the road for his first headlining tour in years.

NBA YoungBoy's "My Sh!t" from his MASA album sits at the top of iHeartRadio's Rap Rising playlist this week. It joins other new joints by Freddie Gibbs, Offset, Drake, Tyler, The Creator and more. Hit the playlist up top and scroll below for more new music.
