Yung Bans has been played on NTS over 20 times, featured on 27 episodes and was first played on 25 October 2017.

Hailing from Atlanta, Yung Bans started releasing music in 2014, becoming a very important and influential part of the SoundCloud underground rap scene. He collaborated with the likes of XXXTentacion, Smokepurrp, and Wifisfuneral. Bans balances trap-rapping with a more melodic sound. 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.
