Milwaukee hip-hop artist YMN is back with fresh heat. His latest single “0N LOCK” dropped on May 6, and it’s a moody, hypnotic track that cements his reputation for genre-blending production.

Clocking in at just over two minutes, “0N LOCK” wastes no time getting into the pocket. The track boasts an impressive danceability rating while maintaining a darker, introspective energy. At a laid-back 101 BPM, the song floats somewhere between late-night contemplation and head-nodding groove—exactly the lane YMN has been carving out since emerging on the Milwaukee scene.

For those who’ve been tracking YMN’s trajectory, this continues a steady output that includes his 2024 Valentine’s Day release “Those Days Are Gone” EP and the “Falling” project that followed shortly after. The artist has also been making his presence felt on Milwaukee stages, including last year’s Beet Street Afterparty at Cactus Club alongside local heavyweights like CRASHprez and Zang!

With “0N LOCK,” YMN proves he’s not slowing down anytime soon. The production is minimal yet effective, letting his melodic approach to hip-hop take center stage. It’s a quick hit—the kind of track that demands repeat plays.
