Production

M1llionz broke through at the end of 2019 with his song "North-West", and he also released the anthem "Y Pree" at the start of 2020, but B1llionz was the first single to make an impact on the UK charts.[3] The lyrics tell the story of how M1llionz's life has changed since his rapid career rise, and the money that has come along with it.[4] The music video was shot by director Teeeezy C, who had also produced videos for Digga D and Nafe Smallz.[5] The song achieved over 890,000 streams on its first week of release.[6]
