NBA YoungBoy has revealed the release date and cover art for his upcoming album, Don’t Try This At Home.
The 23-year-old rapper took to his personal Twitter account on Tuesday (March 21) to announce that his new project will be released on April 21 and is set to include 33 songs.
The artwork depicts the F.G. Clark Activity Center in YoungBoy’s hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana — home to Southern University’s Jaguars basketball team — adorned with Don’t Try This At Home graphics on its roof.
YoungBoy’s announcement comes shortly after releasing a trailer for the album in February featuring his song “Next.”
Don’t Try This At Home is also expected to include his latest single “Demon Party.”

During his appearance on the Rap Radar podcast in February, NBA YoungBoy claimed he would be “talking crazy” on Don’t Try This At Home, but clarified his lyrics are purely for entertainment purposes.
“I’ma talk crazy on there,” he said at the time. “I’ma show you Murda Man. I’ma talk crazy on there, but I’m letting you know though, don’t try this at home. It’s all entertainment, bruh. I’ma talk my shit and everything I’m talking, letting you know, don’t try this at home.
“Entertainment and reality is very different. What I do think, some of the entertainers make their entertainment their reality also, if I said that right.
“Don’t get me wrong too, a lot of people you’ll see today, that’s 100 percent who they is. I don’t doubt it. A lot of rappers today, half of them probably 100 percent who they is. But I guarantee you, bro, the majority of them, nah.
“It be like this, bro, you’ll look at these rappers’ videos, you gon’ see a gun in this video, right? You go to the next one, he got a gun in his video, right?
He added: “You gotta dig a little deeper sometimes, bro. Alright, now look at his mama. His mama ain’t no gangsta, so how the fuck is he a gangsta? That shit don’t be adding up, bro.”
NBA YoungBoy’s last album I Rest My Case was released in January via Motown Records.
The project — his first since leaving Atlantic Records — debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 chart with roughly 29,000 total album-equivalent units in its first week.
