NBA YoungBoy Set to Drop ‘Make America Slime Again’ After NYC Billboards Spark Anticipation
After a few delays and cryptic teasers, it looks like NBA YoungBoy is finally ready to unleash his highly anticipated new album, Make America Slime Again. The buzz surrounding the project reached new heights this week after slime-themed billboards appeared in New York City, as captured by DJ Akademiks. True to the album’s title, the promotional material features green goop dripping from the top — a visual nod to the face mask YoungBoy wears on the album cover.
Though the billboards didn’t reveal an official release date, fans are confident the wait is nearly over. All signs point to a Friday, July 25 release, and with the visual marketing campaign now underway, it seems YoungBoy is sticking to that schedule.
Originally slated for release on July 4, the album was postponed, but YoungBoy made sure fans weren’t left empty-handed. On Independence Day, he dropped a surprise 10-song pack, keeping his loyal following satisfied while buying himself more time. Then, on July 19, he followed up with a two-track bundle featuring “So Not Sorry” and “Out The Window” — a subtle reminder that he’s always working, even when plans shift.
One of the more eyebrow-raising moments during this rollout has been his collaboration with Mellow Rackz, former partner of fellow rapper Kodak Black. Their playful track “Guys Just Wanna Have Fun” flips the iconic Cyndi Lauper hit and seems to double as a shot at Kodak. The Florida rapper didn’t take it lightly either, labeling YB’s previous releases as “a*s” just two days after the song dropped. Meanwhile, Rackz and YoungBoy were also spotted spending time together in Paris, fueling speculation that the track may have been about more than just music.
Whether or not “Guys Just Wanna Have Fun” makes the final cut remains unclear, but it’s unlikely to be part of Make America Slime Again. According to early reports, the album will feature a whopping 30 tracks — though no features have been officially confirmed yet.
Beyond the music, YoungBoy is preparing for a major career milestone. In September, he will embark on his first tour in five years, with shows scheduled through mid-November. It’s a moment fans have long awaited, especially given the rapper’s lengthy hiatus from performing live due to legal restrictions and personal choices.
As the release of Make America Slime Again inches closer, the momentum surrounding NBA YoungBoy only continues to grow. With high-profile feuds, bold promotional moves, and one of the most prolific discographies in modern rap, the Louisiana native is making it clear: he’s not just back — he’s taking over the summer.
