Musical artist

**Shylo Batchelor Ashby Milwood** (born 20 March 1996), known professionally as **Russ Millions** (formerly **Russ**, **Russ Splash** or **RussMB**), is an English rapper and songwriter. In December 2018 he released his single "Gun Lean" on [Virgin Records](/source/Virgin_Records).[2] The track peaked at number 9 on the [UK Singles Chart](/source/UK_Singles_Chart),[3] becoming the first [UK drill](/source/UK_drill) track to reach the top 10.[4] Russ Millions has collaborated with Buni, Taze, [Tion Wayne](/source/Tion_Wayne), [Digga D](/source/Digga_D), [Pressa](/source/Pressa_(rapper)), [LD](/source/LD_(rapper)) and [Dappy](/source/Dappy).[5][6]

The dance that Russ performs in the music video became a "dance craze" and was mimicked by [footballers](/source/Association_football) including [Jesse Lingard](/source/Jesse_Lingard).[7] It was ranked by *[The Guardian](/source/The_Guardian)* at number 10 on their list of "greatest pop music dance crazes".[8]

In April 2019 his follow-up single "Keisha & Becky" with [Tion Wayne](/source/Tion_Wayne) entered the [UK Singles Chart](/source/UK_Singles_Chart) at number 19, and later peaked at number seven. The song was later certified Platinum by the [British Phonographic Industry](/source/British_Phonographic_Industry) (BPI).[3] As a lead, he had his first number 1 with "[Body](/source/Body_(Russ_Millions_and_Tion_Wayne_song))" alongside [Tion Wayne](/source/Tion_Wayne).
