Photo Credit: Jayar Tolentino With an already impressive track record, Ezekiel Miller more professionally known as Ez Mil, has released the deluxe version of this LP DU4LI7Y which features a track from the Rap God himself, Eminem. Hailing from the Philippines, Ez is a multi talented artist specializing in styles such as pop, soul, R&B, hip hop, rock and instruments such as guitar, bass, drums and keyboard/piano. His love for the art got him the attention of Eminem after his release of his video for the single Up Down. Ez Mil drove from Vegas to Los Angeles where he met Dre and Eminem for the first time, leading Eminem to share the track online with the words, "This is why we signed him." Ez and Eminem then stayed in contact and recorded their collaboration, “Realest,” a certified showcase of rap acrobatics. The featuring track with Eminem, reflects his experience as a rising rapper and someone who others might admire. Ez Mil shares the song is, "dedicated to the powers that be. It sheds light on how rappers or writers sometimes feel like politicians with the truth behind what they say and the fear they feel of what might happen as someone in a position of influence." Aware of his role as someone with a platform and a microphone, Ez Mil hopes to make friends and family proud as he propels into the next phase of his flourishing career.
Ez Mil recently signed with the prestigious record label Shady/Aftermath/Interscope, joining the ranks of the prestigious few that have been lucky enough to have been signed to all three.
“We’ve never been out there signing a lot of artists, and one of the great things about how we built Shady is how selective we’ve been.”
After hearing Ez Mil, Eminem knew immediately he had to bring him in–and made an unusual, huge move.
“And it’s even rarer that Dre and I sign something together – but I heard Ez’s music and was like, ‘this is really special” so I took it to Dre. We both agreed it would be a great fit and we wanted to work with him right on the spot.”
“I’m really only interested in working on shit that sounds different from anything else going on out there, and only then if I feel I can really bring something to it. Em played me Ez and I had that feeling…that thing that happens when we both know we’ve found something special. And that was it….let’s get to work.”
