For whatever reason, New York hip-hop had decided by the 90s that it was just not going to dance any more. The city slowly started to come back around, though. In 2004, Terror Squad released “Lean Back” (ironically a song about being too good to dance). Last year brought Bobby Shmurda’s Shmoney Dance, along with the accompanying hit “Hot Nigga.” This year it’s Bed-Stuy artist 2 Milly’s song and dance “Milly Rock,” a move that replaces the Shmoney Dance’s smoothness for a glitchy update of the two-step.

But although the dance started in New York, it’s now starting to go viral, as the song’s hook promises, on blocks across the country. The official video has currently attracted over 340,000 views; people have since Milly Rocked on fire escapes and inside of whips. Rihanna Milly Rocked. Damn it, people are risking their lives to do the Milly Rock. This past Sunday, Travi$ Scott brought 2 Milly and the Stack Paper collective out at Hot 97’s Summer Jam, one of hip-hop’s marquee events. It shouldn’t take that cosign to convince folks the Milly Rock isn’t simply a local thing. But hey, it’s a good look.
