A month after linking up with
Birdman for the Cash Money-issued
From the Bayou,
YoungBoy Never Broke Again released the mixtape
Colors, the first of what one assumes will be several 2022 releases, given the rapper's prolific track record. Clocking in at over an hour, the release allows
YoungBoy to show off his range, from aggressive trap to more pop-leaning melodic tracks (late in the mixtape, two songs in a row have the word "emo" in their titles). While staying true to
YoungBoy's style, this is one of his more accessible releases. The only guests on the mixtape are
Quando Rondo ("Gangsta") and
Internet Money (on deluxe-edition bonus track "Flossin'").
Colors debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. ~ Paul Simpson
