‘Sincerely, Kentrell’ is YoungBoy’s fourth number one album following AI Youngboy, 38 Baby 2, and Top. It’s also his best career opening week in terms of total units sold. Another accomplishment from the 21-year-old rapper is he becomes the first hip-hop artist to deliver the #1 album in 2019, 2020, 2021.
