Lost Files (YoungBoy Never Broke Again album)

Lost Files is the second compilation album by American rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again. It was released through Atlantic Records and Never Broke Again on December 23, 2022. The entire project was mixed by Fabian Marasciullo and is the first project of 2022 from YoungBoy to not include any production or engineering from his in-house producer and engineer Jason "Cheese" Goldberg. It also features production from many prestigious producers such as DJ Swift, Dmac, Drum Dummie, Dubba-AA, Dun Deal, Louie Bandz and Mike Laury. The mixtape marks YoungBoy's eighth and final project of 2022. The release of the album was presented as a Christmas gift to fans from YoungBoy and his label.

Background
