Before YNW BSlime would drop his tracks “Slime Emotions,” which has over 1.9 million views
and “Slime Dreams” which has close to 6 million views on YouTube at the time of
this recording and he'd drop his latest Gucci Belt just this week.
Before BSlime would perform Melly’s music live at Rolling Loud alongside Yung Bans while
his brother YNW Melly was locked up...
Before YNW BSlime would be hanging out with NLE Choppa, Future, and eating Wendy’s with
Woah Vicky
Before he would collab with Lil TJay Before YNW BSlime would become the most famous
12 years old rapper in the game right now
With only a few tracks out, and at the young age of 12,
BSlime has only been rapping for about a year, with that said he's already built up a crazy
buzz.
His big brother YNW Melly has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons but fans
of his work see a lot similarities in talent between him and his younger brother.
BSlime isn’t just Melly’s little brother, he’s an incredibly talented kid whose got
some bars of his own.
All we can hope for is that he stays out of trouble - it seems like he is doing his part
because he did confirm that he doesn’t use guns, so that’s a good start.
Most 12 year olds don't typically need to confirm that.... crazy!
What’s going on guys?
It’s your boy Michael McCrudden and I’ll be your host today walking you through the
young life and budding career of YNW BSlime prior to fame, here for you of on course,
on Before They Were Famous.
We covered YNW Melly for this show right before he got into all of his legal trouble and my
boy Jeremy actually did an interview with him via Skype.
We're hoping everything in that case gets sorted out soon.
We’ve also some recent drops on Lizzo and Playboi Carti and a Where Are They Now? on
Woah Vicky, so check those out after this one.
& Before we start, I’ve got a trivia question for you though:
What is the one requirement BSlime has for any future girls he dates?
Place your guesses in the comments down below and I’ll see you after the intro.
YNW BSlime was born on April 10, 2007 making him just 12 years old.
His mom and dad are both in his life and are very supportive of his music career.
We found this baby photo of the three kids in the fam and Bslime's caption reads
Had A Big Head
which matches up with a lot of your all comments from our YNW Melly Before They Were Famous
thumbnail.
The jokes were outta control and the big head thing must run in the family.
Besides music, BSlime plays fortnite, 2k and steps onto the real court to play a lot of
basketball.
He compares his game to a young Steph Curry.
Growing up, he was very close with his older brother Melvin and watched him grow up and
transform into the rapper we now know as YNW Melly.
In 2018, Melly really began to blow up off of his suspiciously titled track “Murder
on My Mind” which caught the eyes and ears of millions.
BSlime says that once his brother blew up, everyone in school would always ask him if
they could listen to some unreleased music.
Being a second hand celebrity in school would be a crazy thing, with all of your friends
asking to come over to your place every time.
But it wouldn’t be long before BSlime’s friends would be asking him about his own
unreleased music.
BSlime was in the “New Era” studio one night with his brother and friends and they
told him to freestyle.
He spat some bars and everyone in the room was impressed.
Even though BSlime was just rapping for fun at the time, everyone told him that he should
really take it seriously.
BSlime began making music in 2018, but his mom told him that he had to finish the fifth
grade before he started rapping for real.
BSlime was even in the studio with his brother a few times and they recorded an official
song that already sounds like a banger:
But before he could ever release an official track with his brother, things got messy for
Melly.
On February 13, YNW Melly was arrested and charged with two counts of first degree murder.
This was at the height of Melly’s musical career with his hit song “Murder on My Mind”
going gold and a recent collab with Kanye West having been recorded.
BSlime is even seen posing in front of his brother’s plaque here:
I’m sure the arrest, and seeing it all play out so publicly had an effect on BSlime, who
had to witness everything going on with his brother first hand and through the media.
On March 16, BSlime posted this picture with the caption “free da goat”
YNW Melly was set to perform at Rolling Loud Miami but because of his legal trouble, he
was unable to show up.
Instead, fans were surprised with BSlime as a guest appearance during Yung Bans’ set
where Melly’s little brother performed “Murder On My Mind.”
The crowd reaction was wild and just like that, a star was born.
-
And it wasn’t just Yung Bans, a lot of Melly’s musical friends have reached out and want
to work with the kid.
Just like his brother, BSlime has an uncanny ability to create catchy and unique melodies.
In terms of his process, before he writes his lyrics, he jumps in the booth and freestyles
melodies.
He picks his favorite melodies from the first session in there and then he starts to write
his lyrics down.
He told Genius:
Me and my brother have the same (thing), when a beat comes on, it’s like a melody automatically
pops up in our head.
BSlime released his first song on July 8th.
The song was called “Hot Sauce” and was produced by DJ Chose.
He told Genius that he writes all of his own bars and hasn’t received any help from his
older brother, as tempting as that probably would be.
BSlime proved that he can flow, sing, rap and make songs with the best of them.
And his potential was there for the rest of the the world to see.
Since then, he continues to keep his foot on the peddle and within the last month or
so he’s released multiple songs including “Baby Slime Freestyle,” “Slime” Emotions,”
and “Stop Playing,” which all have hundreds of thousands of plays on Soundcloud.
But the song that really made people a believer in BSlime is “Slime Dreams.”
The song has close to 3 million plays on Soundcloud and the video directed by DrewFilmedit.
It was posted onto YNW Melly’s official YouTube channel on July 12, 2019.
Now, having a video posted on Melly’s channel, which has more than 2.5 million subscribers
who are waiting to hear from the artist who’s currently locked up and unable to release
anything, will definitely get some eyes on you.
But that doesn’t automatically make you a star
BSlime surprised a lot of people with his unique melodies and ability to flow, especially
for just being 12.
This kid is going to be a massive star.
Now, he was talking about guns in the song but he told Genius that he was referring to
a dream where there were guns and girls.
Fair enough!
In August of 2019, BSlime released a song titled “YNW Melly Tribute,” which is a
beautiful ode to his older brother.
On it he raps:
On this microphone talking about my brother Melly
He turned nothing into something
Since then, he’s had a lot of people talking about him who can’t wait to see what he
drops next.
He went out to LA to shoot a video for an unreleased song.
He told DJ Ghost it was a 30-thousand-dollar video.
He is still waiting for his first big check from music to come his way, but I have a feeling
it will be arriving sooner than later.
One of his biggest goals is to get his 100 thousand subscribers play button.
And he’s almost there just shy 5K so go subscribe to his channel and help him get
to a million!
Tell him Michael from Before They Were Famous sent you we always leave the artists social
media links down below in each video.
As for the future, he hopes to continue making more music.
He’s got new videos coming soon and has a feature with Lil TJay in the stash.
And to all of our 12-year-old fans watching at home, BSlime says he’s not seeing anyone
right now:
But he says he will only date girls shorter than him!
Hey if girls are allowed to have a requirement for men to be 6 feet and over, then BSlime
is allowed to ask for shorter girls.
And there you have the answer to the question from the beginning of the video.
As for the rest of the story, well the kid is only 12 years old so he’s got a lot more
story to have written!
I think he might be the youngest kid we’ve ever covered for the channel.
Although I think Lil Tay was 11 years old, or claimed she was 9 years old when we were
making videos about her so who knows.
But BSlime if you’re watching this, keep killing it kid.
