A joke inspired creation!

Milo Bank$ is a London-based alternative hip hop artist, coming out of a small island called Malta. He has finally released his highly anticipated EP Sonder. At the forefront of the project is the dark, aggressive lead video and mission statement “918 Spyder”. The track remains grounded in the classic influences that have inspired his work from the start – alternative-style boom bap, orchestral arrangements, heavy wordplay, and the sample-heavy beats – while showcasing a new and previously unexplored sound with producer Chris Vella.

Discussing “918 Spyder,” Milo said: “Calling the track 918 Spyder was simply a joke between myself and Jac (JC.B). We were playing Need For Speed at the time, and I was using the 918 Spyder while playing, and Chris was just bashing out the beat in the background. We just thought it'd be funny to call the song that because the guys are simply a turbo-powered engine.”

Previously known under the monicker CHEF, Milo Bank$ started off his music career in 2017 releasing projects titled Liquid Thoughts, Purple Moon, and UNKWN up until early 2020. After a period of silence, a newly rebranded Milo Bank$ made his entry back into the scene with his most recent release Dancing With My Demon, a 5 track EP featuring artists such as Sam Christie and JC.B.

Milo’s latest EP, Sonder, comes from his realization that every single passerby has a life as vivid and complex as your own. "To me, Sonder is a collection of emotions and events that came out of the most productive and experimental period of my music career,” Milo says. The project is set to represent the first he and longtime producer Chris Vella have pooled their talents together for an extended period of time, coming up with an EP that perfectly conveys the rough times that we are going through.
