Dylan Williams, better known online as Amethyst and lil dyl on FutureBots (formerly NCS Rankings, sxpphire, DJ Dylan and DJ BASSDROP) is an American YouTuber that used to upload rankings on EDM.

About
Dylan's channel had rankings of from 2018-2020. His main focus was ranking songs on NoCopyrightSounds by their month of release. He also has NCS playlists consisting every NCS release of almost every year NCS released a song.

Starting from 2019, Dylan also ranked EDM songs outside of NCS, such as Monstercat songs.

Over time, he lost interest in ranking music. Now Dylan is uploading anything he feels like.

History
Dylan's first ranking video was a ranking of every non-deleted/privatized NCS release from 2012-2013. A few months after the video was uploaded, however, Frag Out was privatized. At the time of the video, Frag Out was NCS's only public 2012 upload.

He began to upload more NCS related rankings over the course of time. In November 21, 2018, Dylan received a comment from NCS on his NCS July 2018 ranking. This is the only ranking video by Dylan still up as of today. He uploaded NCS misheard lyrics and NCS top 10s as well.

Dylan was a member of Isosonify Ranks/The Retarded Rankers, which consisted of Alex Delillo (formerly Kabuzan), Dankpalace, graey (formerly N1GHTHAWK) and Tesserize. All five of them grew really popular among the NCS ranking community, as they were the original NCS rankers.

In March 2019, NCS mass-banned rankers from the comments section for unknown reasons. According to the video, Dylan was blocked among them. Nevertheless, Dylan continued to make NCS rankings. He moved on to ranking Monstercat, Frequency, and random EPs and changed his name from NCS Rankings to Dylan Ranks.

In January 2020, The Retarded Rankers disbanded and Dylan created Vaporande. The group fell in July 2020. Dylan also revealed his face at that time, for his 1K subscribers special. (His face can still be seen in his oldest non-private video).

In September 2020, he said that he is going to stop making ranking videos. He stopped because he had to focus on high school and because he has no more interest in making them. 1 month later, he privatized everything. Only the video with an NCS comment was left unlisted, which is found on a playlist consisting of every video with an NCS comment. He still has a community post where people were wishing that he made more ranking videos. Dylan told everybody that it's not going to happen and he doesn't wanna talk about why. Both community posts are deleted and Dylan began to lose subscribers. However, Dylan will not unprivate his ranking videos.

Nevertheless, he is still a ranker on Electrified and BULBA's videos, and an earrape music producer.
