Slime Cry is the ninth studio album by American rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again. It was released through Never Broke Again and Motown on January 16, 2026. The album features guest appearances from Burna Boy and Jelly Roll while its production was primarily handled by Mally Mall, D-Roc, and BlokkOnDa808s, with occasional production from FnZ, 18yoman, 30 Roc, and Lewis Parker, alongside many other producers. The latter mixed and recorded the entire record. The album serves as a follow-up to Gaulden's eighth studio album, MASA and his twenty-second mixtape, DeShawn (both 2025).
Slime Cry received favorable reviews from critics who praised the record's production and Gaulden's vulnerability while criticizing how there's not much "terrain left to map", considering Gaulden's lengthy discography. It debuted at number six on the US Billboard 200, in which it earned 70,000 album-equivalent units, of which 1,000 pure sales. The record marks Gaulden's seventeenth top-ten record on the chart, tying Drake for the second-most top-ten albums on the chart, while being the fastest to accumulate them. The album was supported by a sole lead single released alongside the album: "Devil Go Away" featuring Jelly Roll.
