NBA YoungBoy is always feeding fans on YouTube with his freshest material, and his exclusive single and music video "Highly" is the latest example. On it, the Baton Rouge MC employs a more melodic style and more strained, ambitious vocal deliveries to reflect on his romantic relationship. While he talks about the lows as much as the highs, his passionate performance on the mic carries a lot considering the simple and basic instrumental. YB's wails and warped inflections are pretty compelling here in a raw way, even if they are not clean by any means. But more malleable flows pop up throughout to give the cut another sense of energy. Even if you're not a fan of YoungBoy's music, you can't deny it's heartening to see his impassioned commitment to his style succeed.

Quotable Lyrics from Highly

Baby, taking that stuff you don't like, might vomit,
Turn you around, I hit you from the back, pulling your bonnet,
Baby, I'm your moon and you are my comet,
Me and you a real big boom, and it's massive like atomic

About The Author
Gabriel Bras Nevares is a staff writer for HotNewHipHop. He joined HNHH while completing his B.A. in Journalism & Mass Communication at The George Washington University in the summer of 2022. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Gabriel treasures the crossover between his native reggaetón and hip-hop news coverage, such as his review for Bad Bunny’s hometown concert in 2024. But more specifically, he digs for the deeper side of hip-hop conversations, whether that’s the “death” of the genre in 2023, the lyrical and parasocial intricacies of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle, or the many moving parts of the Young Thug and YSL RICO case. Beyond engaging and breaking news coverage, Gabriel makes the most out of his concert obsessions, reviewing and recapping festivals like Rolling Loud Miami and Camp Flog Gnaw. He’s also developed a strong editorial voice through album reviews, think-pieces, and interviews with some of the genre’s brightest upstarts and most enduring obscured gems like Homeboy Sandman, Bktherula, Bas, and Devin Malik.
