Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, better known by his stage name NBA YoungBoy, is an American rapper who first came to the limelight in 2016 as one of the promising stars of the current generation. Immensely talented, Gaulden took to rapping and recording early in his life. Inspired by local artists, he came up with his debut album in 2015, at the age of 16. He soon followed it with the release of the Mind of a Menace trilogy. Just when everything seemed to be perfectly in sync, destiny brought a major jolt in his life as he was arrested on suspicion of first-degree attempted murder and his surging career took a dip. However, not taking it slow, NBA YoungBoy did not put a stop to his music career and instead got himself deeply involved in it. The uncertainty behind the future of his burgeoning career was overruled by the release of his hit singles while in prison. Win or Lose was a major hit and made him an overnight sensation. Some of his later hits include Untouchables, No Smoke, and Outside Today, each of which charted at different positions on Billboard Hot 100.
