"Bad Morning" is a song by American rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again, released on September 24, 2021, as the opening track from his third studio album, Sincerely, Kentrell . Released while incarcerated, the song portrays an image of pain and suffering while also including a sense of gangsta rap as he speaks about firearms and illegal activity.
The song was first teased by YoungBoy via his Instagram as a Triller snippet prior to his incarceration. Garnering major attention while incarcerated, YoungBoy's team added it to Sincerely, Kentrell.[1]
In the songs, YoungBoy makes notable references to DaBaby's chart-topping 2019 studio album Kirk as he rapped: "Ridin' bumpin' Kirk with a .30 and a pole." He also made references to his devotion to Islam as he rapped: "All praise to Allah, one was dead in less than sixty." YoungBoy also made direct reference to Herm Tha BlackSheep, YoungBoy's close friend and Never Broke Again-signee.
Rolling Stone's Will Dukes noted that "over somber pianos and a soulful organ[s]," YoungBoy "reflects on some of his regrets."[2] HotNewHipHop's Will Aron A. stated that "gospel organs and shredding guitars fuel the production for NBA Youngboy to offer a dose of honest reflection and bossed up flexes. It’s a song that captures Youngboy’s trials and tribulations, as well as his perseverance throughout the ups and downs."[3]
