###ABOUT EZ MIL###
Ezekiel Miller, professionally known as EZ MIL, was born and raised in Olongapo City, Philippines, on July 27, 1998. He is a proud Filipino-American recording artist, rapper, singer, songwriter, producer, dancer, and multi-instrumentalist. He began his cultural ascent first in the skateboarding scene while playing in a metalcore band under the moniker Slashmouth. From there, Ezekiel elevated his musical range, producing a variety of genres including hip-hop, pop, R&B, soul, EDM, alternative, indie-pop, and more. He enjoys playing video games between recording sessions, particularly in the FGC genre, like Tekken.
As an homage to his native roots, EZ MIL released “Panalo (Trap Cariñosa),” an upbeat hip-hop-meets-R&B record recorded in both Tagalog and English that gives his take on Filipino nationalism. The record gained viral attention through a live performance on the Wish USA Bus, generating over 88 million views on YouTube. Several releases later, EZ gained the attention of rap legends Eminem and Dr. Dre with his self-produced music video “Up Down (Step & Walk)” on February 9, 2023. A few months later, EZ met with the iconic duo at a private meeting in Los Angeles. On July 26, 2023, it was announced that EZ would sign a historic joint-label deal with Shady Records, Aftermath Entertainment, and Interscope Records, joining the likes of 50 Cent. On August 4, 2023, EZ MIL released his first collaboration with Eminem, “Realest,” which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Rap Charts.
EZ MIL would later feature on Eminem’s “Head Honcho” from his 12th studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). The song debuted at No. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the first song featuring Tagalog lyrics to debut on the chart. Meanwhile, the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. EZ is also the head honcho of his independent imprint, FFP Records, which has signed its first artist, Raynn.
