YNW Melly appears on Yung Bans’ new song “No Belt”

thefader.com:

Vol. 6, the first new full-length project from the Atlanta-based rapper Yung Bans in nearly three-and-a-half years, was released on December 6, and it includes a feature from YNW Melly on the song "No Belt." Though the song leaked back in 2020, it's the first official appearance from Melly, who remains imprisoned on two first-degree murder charges, since 2022's "Purple Casanova" with 12 Honcho.

Scroll down to listen. The new song is a duet of the kind of melodic rap both rappers have staked their careers in. Bans offers up charismatic defiance ("My P.O.

asked me if I'm booted, I said 'Yup.'") occasionally mixed with witty humor ("I'm showing my ass today so I don't need no belt"), while the signature creakiness of Melly's vocals still sounds one-of-a-kind four years after his incarceration.
