Yuno Miles is an American rapper and comedy musician.[1][2][3] He is known for his music that takes a satirical depiction of hip hop with nonsensical and provocative lyrics. Miles has also founded a satirical record label called TrashBag Records, and collaborated with other satirical rappers, such as Smokepurpp, BRBLuhTim, DigBar, TickleMyTip, and Xanakin Skywok, the latter of whom is more known for collaborating with fellow rapper Packgod.

RapReviews gave his album Yuno I Can't Rap (2020) a 4/10, saying that they could not tell whether he was "parodying rap or if he’s that bad at rapping", and concluded that it did not matter since they viewed the output to not be good.[4] On August 23, 2024, Yuno Miles was featured on the song "Bomb" by ¥$ during a live performance in Seoul.[5][6]

Yuno Miles first began releasing music in 2019, with his initial song “Pokemon” uploaded on YouTube. This track featured a trap version of the Futurama theme song. Over time, he became known for producing songs that incorporate satire and parody, blending humor with elements of mainstream rap. From 2020 to 2023, Miles rapped alongside his cousin Yuno Marr, in a rap duo they formed, known as “the Hood Rejects”. Marr also serves as a producer on some of Miles’s songs, and his rapping voice has attracted attention in the comments for resembling the voice of the character Eric Cartman from South Park. Marr was eventually replaced by BRBLuhTim, who became Yuno's most frequent collaborators

Musical style and impact

[edit]

Yuno Miles’ music is characterized by its association with meme rap, a genre that mixes internet culture with hip-hop. His tracks often feature playful, exaggerated lyrics and unconventional vocal effects. Songs like “Road to Riches” and “Put The Money In The Bag” have contributed to his growing popularity online, with the latter achieving viral success on TikTok. All of his songs are shown as written by “Ron Johnson”. It is unknown if this is Miles’ true legal name. In the summer of 2024, Yuno briefly changed his name to "Juno Miles". This was for an in-joke for the promotion of his album Orange is Loading, as Miles was supposedly kidnapped in the music video for the album’s single “Chowder”. Fans joked that the kidnapper was his evil twin, Juno Miles, and that Juno had taken over Yuno’s channel for two weeks.
