Rapper NBA YoungBoy has just released his new album, Make America Slime Again, right on time for Independence Day. The album was released on July 4.
The album cover shows the rapper wearing a green ski mask while standing in front of an American flag—this cover has received a lot of attention on social media. This is YoungBoy's first major release since his December 2024 project, I Just Got a Lot on My Shoulders.
It follows his March 2025 mixtape, More Leaks, which was a compilation of unreleased material.
Leading up to its release he released a handful of singles—“Where I Been,” “Top Tingz,” “Shot Callin,” and “Finest.” All of those singles may or may not be included on the album, it is unclear. But it shows that the new music follows a trend that YoungBoy has displayed over the past year.
His high output continues with his strong loyal fanbase, and he is still one of the most discussed artists in hip-hop. His new release returns him to the middle of the hip-hop landscape as he continues to return to the limelight after legal challenges.

YoungBoy to Launch National Tour in September
In addition to the new album, NBA YoungBoy has revealed a national tour that will start in the fall. The Make America Slime Again Tour will launch on September 1 in Dallas, Texas, and run through November 12, ending in Seattle.
The tour will stop in more than 45 cities, with major markets including New York, Houston, and Atlanta. This will be YoungBoy’s first headlining tour since 2020 and is a big milestone in his journey back to live performances.
In Texas, fans can also look forward to DeeBaby, EBK Jaaybo, and k3 making appearances with YoungBoy on select dates. Ticket prices will start around $89, according to the venue and location.
The tour announcement comes just after YoungBoy recently received a presidential pardon, which gave him latitude to move more freely and begin public appearances once again after legal restrictions kept a close eye on his travel itinerary.
With a new album and a big tour on the table, NBA Youngboy could be starting a new chapter in his career, one that could see him back at the top of the leaderboard again on the charts and on stage.
