BandGang Lonnie Bands Releases “Lock Jaw”
Through fierce lyrics and a nonchalant persona, BandGang Lonnie Bands shot to prominence in the Detroit hip-hop scene with support from his fan base teaming to 200K plus listeners on Spotify, and working with artists from the golden coasts’ Bay Area to the southern mecca of ATL. Today, Lonnie shares the video for “Lock Jaw,” a standout from Hard 2 Kill, his critically acclaimed new album. Filled to the brim with attractive women and stacks of cash, this video is an epic look at the day in the life of Detroit’s finest. Directed by Shooter Jimmy, Lonnie kicks back in his apartment, while his crew of women tend to his street hustle. Davy Da Don lends a hand on the production side of the song, while the track features bass heavy beats that pair well with Lonnie’s steady bars. Making it known that his risk taking behavior has resulted in hometown fame, Lonnie raps: “I be pouring pints with the grim reaper / In my hood I’m Michael Jackson and I’m Justin Bieber.”
Arriving months after Lonnie survived a near-fatal shooting incident, Hard 2 Kill brims with a sense of energy and urgency that adds drama to each piano riff and 808 thump. On the album, Lonnie rhymes with a new level of fearlessness, discussing his exploits in the streets, demonstrating his rap supremacy, and daring the opps to take another shot at him. H2K benefits from Lonnie’s spectacular ear for beats, each of which slyly subverts the kinetic, piano-heavy Detroit sound that he helped popularize with BandGang and can be heard in his recent video singles “Foreva Rollin” and “Glocks & Choppas.” Praised by Pitchfork, Stereogum, Consequence, HowNewHipHop, and many others, and with guest spots from ESTGee, OhGeesy, YoungNudy, BIG30, ReeceYoung’n, OnFully, and more, Hard 2 Kill is available everywhere via TFEntertainment.
With over 100 million YouTube views in the bank, BandGang Lonnie Bands is ready to prove that he’s one of the best bar-for-bar rappers in the game today. He made his name as one of six members of BandGang, a Detroit collective that helped bring the piano-heavy sound that now dominates Detroit to the forefront. The 26-year-old rapper made his name as a solo act with his KOD project, acclaimed by Pitchfork, and expanded his audience with guest appearances on tracks by Shoreline Mafia, Drego & Beno, and more. Though the last two years have been hard, punctuated by Lonnie’s near-death experience and the loss of several close friends including BandGang Paid Will, the rapper emerged from his trials stronger as a man and an artist, determined to support his family by doing what he loves most–making music.

The high-energy visual finds JELEEL! as a robotic machine stuck in a metal contraption in a warehouse, ready to break free. While he raps his way through his verse and into the chorus, Denzel Curry makes the final tweaks on JELEEL!, bringing him to life and helping him break free.
The video arrives on the heels of the duo’s collaboration, which dropped on Friday to praise from the likes of The FADER, HotNewHipHop and Hypebeast who said, “pumping up listeners…the new single is sure to inspire a sense of playful, party-ready rage in fans.”
“’SHOTS!’ is such an important song to me because I feel like it’s an elevated version of a lot of my harder and aggressive type songs, and obviously Denzel just made it that much more special,” says JELEEL! “We were jumping on couches having so much fun making this in the studio. We are such a great combo on the track, and I’m just super proud of this record.”
Massachusetts rapper Millyz has just shared his new single and visual for “Die Clouted”. As he glides over a sentimental piano and stirring guitar, Millyz creates a contemplative atmosphere. Throughout the track, he reflects on his journey, full of both moments of glory and times of struggle, and takes pride in the legacy he’s creating. The video shows Millyz taking stock of how far he’s come amid scenes of dressing rooms and luxury vehicles, surrounded by a star-studded list of cameos, including G Herbo, Wallo, and Dave East. After catching the attention of mainstream tastemakers and developing a committed fanbase through his non-stop work ethic and dedication to hip-hop, Millyz is continuing to show the world his forthright creative vision with the release of “Die Clouted”.
Millyz has been lighting the internet on fire all year with standout freestyles on L.A. Leakers, The Come Up Show, and most recently Fire In The Booth. Last year things started to really heat up for him with the release of his last project Blanco 4in 2021. The album had a string of successful singles including “Emotions” featuring G Herbo, “Benny Blanco” alongside expert bar spitter Benny The Butcher & “Hopeless” with Jadakiss. Leading up to the release of his most recent project Blanco 5, Millyz released the singles “Ashes In The Maybach” featuring Mozzy, “Love/Hate” (feat. Gio Dee) and “Closure”.
