Born in 1999, Bans grew up listening to the likes of Chief Keef, Tyler The Creator, Lil Wayne and Young Scooter.
In late 2017, Bans told XXL his single “Lonely” featuring Lil Skies is “probably” his favorite song he’s made.

Yung Bans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All black with a mask, feel like Bruce Wayne
I'm on way too many drugs, it feel like Novocaine
I can't feel no pain, no, I can't feel no pain
Made it through the rain, think it's time to spread my wings
I was 15, ridin' with that blicky, yeah
If I die today, I wonder, will they miss me?
A hunnid shells in the street, huh
It's a hunnid shells in the street
It's a hunnid shells in the street
It's a hunnid shells in the street
Yeah, Dracs and .223's, sweep himm off his feet
Get a pack from overseas, trap, trap gon' beat
I got it on me, that MAC in my jeans
I got it on me, that MAC in my jeans
What you smell on my breath pure promethazine
And you can do what you want when you poppin' when you a lil' nigga like me
Yeah, booted up, geeked, huh
Lil' bitch on fleek
All black with a mask, feel like Bruce Wayne
I'm on way too many drugs, it feel like Novocaine
I can't feel no pain, no, I can't feel no pain
Made it through the rain, think it's time to spread my wings
I was 15, ridin' with that blicky, yeah
If I die today, I wonder, will they miss me?
Turn to a demon with that fire
A hunnid shells in the street, huh

The lyrics of "100 Shells" by Yung Bans are about a young man who is involved in street life and violence. He wears a mask that makes him feel like Batman's alter ego, Bruce Wayne. The singer is under the influence of drugs, feeling like he can't feel any pain because he has already been through so much. The chorus mentions that when he was only 15 years old, he used to ride around with a gun (blickey). The song has a melancholic feeling, with the singer wondering if anyone will miss him if he dies, indicating a sense of loneliness and vulnerability. The song also boasts about the singer's guns, including "Dracos, .223's, MAC-11's" and "hollow tips" that "rip through you and give your ass a halo."
Overall, "100 Shells" portrays an image of a young man who is running out of options and who has exposed himself to many dangers, including drugs and guns. Despite the haunting undertones, the chorus of the song is almost celebratory, boasting about the hunnid shells on the street, with little concern for the people that may have been hurt.
