Yung Bans joins us for the latest episode of "On The Come Up."

Yung Bans is a name that's been bubbling for a minute out of Atlanta. He's been doing his thing for a minute but it feels like 2018 is the year that his name becomes familiarized with the majority of the people. He's worked alongside artists like Lil Yachty, Ski Mask The Slump God and more. He's also been receiving high praises from Future who recently said that Bans is getting $30K a show. There's no doubt that he's gearing up for a massive year ahead of him. He recently came through for the latest episode of "On The Come Up" where he breaks down how his collab with Lil Skies came about, the origins of "Yung Bans," his first song and more.

Yung Bans recently popped by our offices for the latest of "On The Come Up." The rapper explained that his biggest song to date, "Lonely" came about naturally for him.

"My engineer pull up on me once a week, twice a week and we just be in my room recording songs." He said, "I'm playing the beats and I put on that beat and I liked it. Instantly, the vibe of the song, like the melody just came... I really experiment with all my music so when I was thinkin' it, I said hopefully it sounds as good as it sound in my head and when I recorded it, it sounded good."

Shortly after, he realized the song was a hit and instantly reached out to Cole Bennett and Lil Skies to record the music video for it.
