Career

After releasing six independent mixtapes between 2015 and 2017, Gaulden was signed to Atlantic Records.

His January 2018 single "Outside Today" went to number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[1] His first studio album Until Death Call My Name (2018) went to number 7 on the US Billboard 200. In October 2019, Gaulden released the single "Bandit" with Juice Wrld. It became his first top-ten single.[2]

His 2019 mixtape AI YoungBoy 2 entered the Billboard 200 at number one. His April 2020 mixtape 38 Baby 2 became his second chart-topping project to top the Billboard 200. Gaulden's second studio album Top (2020) followed as his third chart-topping project in less than a year.[3]

In September 2021, Sincerely, Kentrell was released during his incarceration. It topped the charts again. It made him the third artist to have an album at the top of the charts while incarcerated (after rappers 2Pac and Lil Wayne).[4][5]  In August 2022, he released his fourth studio album, The Last Slimeto. It marked Gaulden's final studio album with Atlantic Records.[6]
