2x RIAA Certified Double Platinum artist Roy Woods pens an ode to the trials and tribulations of being young and famous with his recent release ‘Young Boy Problems’. The Canadian native signed to Drake’s OVO Sound label is gearing up for the release of his second studio album ‘Mixed Emotions’. A self-care break turned into a reconnection with his first love of music, and Woods is preparing to dominate the charts again with some heavy hitter collaborations on his highly anticipated upcoming album dropping this summer.
More than sex, drugs, and money, ‘Young Boy Problems’ gives you a look at how Woods navigated through the early stages of his career after signing to the Owl gang at only 19. With this sultry ballad, Woods reveals mixed emotions due to the pressures of fame, and not being in the right state of mind which caused him to make bad decisions and suffer from toxic relationships.
Lyrically and vocally this single is absolute fire, and we hear definite influences of Drake. The bars Woods drop set the mood for Cali nights cruising and vibing out with friends, heading into the “letting it go” summer season. It’s an easy feel good vibe.
On Twitter Woods shared “This song takes me back to Young Boy Roy, I’ve done a lot of growing up since then…”
Woods’ loyal fans are excited he is back and share their love for him and the single writing on YouTube, “first time I heard this Dude it was 2015… Until this day his music just hit hard everytime I play it… “, “TORONTO ROY. Let’s go. Another classic rnb single. If im unconscious, wake me uppp again. W!”, “This is beautiful song ️.”
The music video is a surreal depiction of life in the fast lane with sex, drugs, and money all at your disposal with Woods delivering an emotion-filled realistic view into that world.
The Ontario native latest song follows a successful string of singles such as “Don’t Love Me”, “Luces” ft Fuego and Polima West Coast, “Bad Bad” and “Insecure.”
