C-Murder Declares NBA YoungBoy The New Generation’s Soulja Slim

August 22, 2023

The TRU group member heaps high praise on his Louisiana brethren.

James “Soulja Slim” Tapp Jr. passed away on November 26, 2003, at the age of 26. According to fellow No Limit Records alumnus C-Murder, 23-year-old YoungBoy Never Broke Again embodies the spirit of Soulja Slim.

Like Soulja Slim and C-Murder, Grammy-nominated rhymer YoungBoy Never Broke Again hails from the state of Louisiana. The Don’t Try This at Home album creator has recruited millions of followers from around the world. YoungBoy also has his share of haters.

“I want to ask the older cats to stop hating on our new generation that rap. These dudes [are] really eating and it’s all legal,” wrote a currently incarcerated C-Murder on Instagram.

C-Murder also added, “NBA Youngboy keeping it realer with me than any n#### I know. However it go, I’m rolling with him in war or peace. He’s my Soulja Slim of the new generation.”
