What was Young Bleed's debut studio album? Discography and career highlights explored amid No Limit rapper's death at 51

Glenn Clifton Jr. a.k.a. Young Bleed released his debut album My Balls and My Word 27 years ago, back in 1998. The young rapper at the time signed with Priority Records to release his first studio album through the help of Master P, whose real name is Percy Robert Miller. Clifton Jr. was only 24 years old when he released his debut album.

My Balls and My Word had 14 tracks in total and a listening time of 57:19 minutes. Young Bleed collaborated with C-Loc, Master P, Mystikal, Lay-Lo, Lucky Knuckles, Lee Tyme, Fiend, Mo B. Dick, O'Dell. and Max Minelli on some of the songs from the album.

However, it did not receive the most positive comments from critics. Soren Baker from the Chicago Tribune said:

"Young Bleed subtly and gently mocks the stereotype of laid-back Southerners."

While Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic said that the album did not have much originality and is a:

"conventional late-'90s gangsta record."

Nonetheless, over the years, Bleed released more studio albums and singles before he tragically passed at 51 years old. Keep reading to learn about his entire discography.
