Given that, it’s perhaps no surprise that he signed to Future’s Freebandz label in late 2017, which followed him dropping five EPs: Yung Bans Volumes 1-5.

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.

Overall Meaning

The song “Don’t Milly Rock” by Yung Bans is a brash and boastful tune that showcases the rapper’s success in making money (“guap”) and standing out with his “diamonds” while driving around in his car with “no top”. It is a song that emphasizes the rapper’s disdain for the popular dance move “Milly Rock” and his preference for a hedonistic lifestyle spent pursuing wealth and pleasure. The lyrics directly reference some of the tropes that are commonly found in many modern rap songs, such as women who are sexually available (“thots”), material possessions like jewelry (“diamonds”) and cars (“drop top”), as well as the idea of making a name for oneself within the music industry (“Dat boy's about to be famous”).

The song portrays Yung Bans as a figure who has achieved a level of success that elicits hate and jealousy from others (“them n***as mad 'cause we hot”), but he is confident in his abilities and is not shaken by these factors. The song’s chorus repeats the lyric “I don’t Milly Rock” multiple times, which serves to reinforce the idea that the rapper is distinct from other rappers who may be caught up in trends or fads. Overall, the song is a braggadocious anthem that celebrates Yung Bans’s lavish lifestyle and emerging fame, while simultaneously taking a jab at a dance move that has gone viral on social media.
