2Milly

2Milly, born in Brooklyn, gained public recognition with his song “Milly Rock.” The track was released in August 2014 and subsequently gained significant traction throughout 2015 due to its associated dance, also called the “Milly Rock.” This dance became widely adopted by various celebrities, contributing to the song’s popularity.

The “Milly Rock” dance is described as a “militant way of rockin'” a dance that had been a part of 2Milly and his friends’ informal routines before the song’s release. The dance’s widespread appeal led to its incorporation into different platforms, including the video game Fortnite. In 2018, 2Milly initiated a lawsuit against Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, alleging copyright infringement for using the “Milly Rock” dance within their game without authorization. This legal action highlighted discussions regarding intellectual property rights for dance movements within digital media.

His work includes the album “Welcome 2 Millyville,” released in 2016, which features the original “Milly Rock” track and a remix. The song’s influence extended to other artists, with Rick Ross and Lil Wayne releasing their own versions. 2Milly has also performed the song at major events, such as Hot 97’s Summer Jam, alongside Travis Scott and the Stack Paper crew, showcasing his presence in the hip-hop community. He aims to use the success of “Milly Rock” to further introduce his rap collective, Stack Paper crew, to a broader audience.
