Harmonizing hip-hop sensation YSN Flow has lived many lives within his sixteen years. Flow first garnered praise with his track “Want Beef?”. Growing up, Flow didn’t find hip-hop, rather hip-hop found him. One day he was walking home from school with some friends and started play-harmonizing the hook to hip-hop tracks. By boosting a pair of speakers from Target, grabbing a Snowball microphone from Target, and using his mom’s laptop, Flow went into his bedroom closet, put a winter glove on his new mic and started cutting tracks at just 13 years old.
His songs were raw, yet detailed, discussing the world around him in the Cleveland streets as seen through the eyes of a teenager. He started pushing his music and “Want Beef?” broke through cracking 15M+ streams on YouTube. More tracks followed by the millions, from “Want Beef? 2.0” to “Illegal Guns”, “OH OKAY!” and “Dirt!” Flow later signed a deal with Republic Records.
FLOW $ZN brings a new energy to YSN Flow’s growing career. While there’s still gritty tales, tracks like “Prescription” use a narcotic metaphor to double as pickup line for the ladies. Songs like “Bad Vibe” with Lil Tjay tackle Flow’s mature intuition that only comes from living a teenage life in the fast line. The YSN in his name reflects his crew “Young Successful Navigation”, and it’s clear that Flow is navigating straight to the top.

How you just was nothing, I got fans like that
How the opps ain′t jelly, but got jammed like that?
How you get your diamonds to just dance like that, huh?
Because I got moolah
Cash out, ball like a hoopa
Push-Start coupe with no medulla
Tweet we got them techs for that computer
Racks bussin', like to flex a lot
Cop some Raf Simons, I drop checks a lot
Stainless steel with diamonds, show my neck a lot
Rari engine roarin′, it's a jet or not?
Pop some molly, get to rollin'
Haters dishing hate, I dodge it I′ll learn how throw shit
DM full of bitches, why the fuck would I use lotion?
Let her row the boat, she let clap when we in motion
Thumbin′ through these hundreds, fingers ashy I need lotion
Oh shit
Hopped back on my old shit
New rack every day, you never catch me with a old mit
Blue strip I see benji, he might fuck around be a old crip
I won't fall in love, unless her pussy squirtin′ rolls bitch
They like, "How you get them bands like that?"
How you just was nothing, I got fans like that
How the opps ain't jelly, but got jammed like that?
How you get your diamonds to just dance like that, huh?
Because I got moolah
Cash out, ball like a hoopa
Push-Start coupe with no medulla
Tweet we got them techs for that computer
Sixty-Nine niggas, they all tellin′ all they friends
White girl bump my music, while she chillin' with her mans
Milly rock the money, bop them bands and make you dance
Butterflies the I8, I might fly away to France
I′m going far, ooh
Shinin' like a diamond but a star, ooh
Fame, it make her suck when you not hard, ooh
I got different cookies in my jar, ooh-ooh
Cause I like when I'm geeked, with my team in a beamer
VV′s blinging hard, they wanna fuck up in a steamer
Hottest youngin out, I put my career in a heater
Tryna fuck for money, most she getting is a finger
They like, "How you get them bands like that?"
How you just was nothing, I got fans like that
How the opps ain′t jelly, but got jammed like that?
How you get your diamonds to just dance like that, huh?
Because I got moolah
Cash out, ball like a hoopa
Push-Start coupe with no medulla
