Yung Bans specializes in a melodic and understated rap style that translates to ear-catching tracks and memorable vocal hooks. Bans moved from a series of self-titled mixtapes to release his 2019 studio debut album, Misunderstood, collaborating with artists like Playboi Carti, Smokepurpp, and Lil Skies along the way. After releasing his LP, Yung Bans issued singles like 2020's Latto collaboration "Freak Show" and 2021 track "Blow Her Back Out."

Yung Bans was born Vas Coleman in 1999, a native of metropolitan Atlanta, specifically Union City, roughly 20 miles southwest of the state capital. He began rapping in his teens, citing the likes of Lil Wayne and Chief Keef as artists whose work affected him at an impressionable age. During 2016, he started to receive attention from major outlets due to the Carti-assisted "4TSpoon" and his featured role on XXXTENTACION's "ILoveItWhenTheyRun." Toward the end of 2017, Bans initiated a series of self-titled EP-length releases, the second of which was highlighted by "Lonely," his most popular track to that point. Three more volumes of the short-form releases arrived in 2018.

Bans issued his debut full-length, Misunderstood, the following summer. The album included the single "Ready Set Go" with 03 Greedo and XXXTENTACION, as well as tracks featuring YNW Melly, Future, Gunna, Young Thug, and others. Bans stuck to releasing individual tracks and making guest appearances on other artist's songs for the next few years, teaming with Giza and Rojas on the Beat in 2020 for the booming "Hit the Lick!," sharing the Latto collaboration "Freak Show" the same year, and releasing the tracks "Won't Think Twice" and "Blow Her Back Out" in 2021. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
