BROKE 2 MILLIONS – GROUP BIO

Broke 2 Millions is an emerging national rap collective built on raw storytelling, emotional resonance, and a multi‑city upbringing that shaped each member’s artistic identity.

 

Formed by brothers Y3 and KBandz, and joined by founding member Kidd, the group represents a new wave of young artists blending melodic sensibility with street‑rooted authenticity.

 

Born in Detroit, raised in Las Vegas, and now based in Los Angeles, Broke 2 Millions channels the grind, hustle, and resilience of three cities that shaped them — crafting a sound that’s both universal and deeply personal.

 

Y3 —

Elijah Howard, professionally known as Y3 (and also Yung E), was born in Detroit in 2002. He later moved to Las Vegas and ultimately to Los Angeles, a journey that mirrors the evolution of his artistry.

 

A genre‑bending artist, Y3 is known for melodic hooks, emotional delivery, and cinematic storytelling. His mother remains his biggest influence, inspiring him to create music with longevity and purpose.

 

“I want to touch people with my lyrics… and the beats we choose for these songs, I want them to last forever.” — Y3

His versatility and ability to weave melody into hard‑hitting production have quickly positioned him as one of the group’s creative anchors.

 

KBandz —

Khari Bradley, professionally known as KBandz, was born in Detroit and raised in Las Vegas before relocating to Los Angeles. As the younger brother of Y3, his musical roots go back to preschool, where he began rhyming, freestyling, and developing the playful but sharp delivery that defines his style today.

 

Rapping has literally always been in his blood, giving KBandz an effortless, natural presence on the mic. His charisma, punchlines, and rhythmic instincts help shape the energetic side of the Broke 2 Millions sound.

 

Kidd —

Malachi Nelson, known professionally as Kidd, was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. As a founding member of Broke 2 Millions, Kidd brings his own creative identity to the collective, adding depth, contrast, and expanded musical range.

 

Kidd’s presence helps round out the group’s dynamic, contributing to both the sonic foundation and the evolving identity of Broke 2 Millions as they transition onto the national stage.
