Ezekiel Miller was born in Olongapo to a musician father, Paul Sapiera of the band RockStar whose hits in the early '90s include "Mahal Pa Rin Kita" and "Parting Time", and to a mother who is also active in the music industry. He also grew up with a younger sister, Raynn. As someone who is born into parents that were tearin' it up in the nation's local Rock & Roll scene, that city was his place of birth and where he was raised. As the norm of rebellion from over-exposure, instead of Rock, Hip-Hop / Rap was the first musical genre he fell in love with. Then, as he grew up being exposed to the peak of R&B / Pop infused with Hip-Hop music and dancing, it became the first obsession for Ez's childhood self-expression, with there being a point where it was only songs and videos as his choice of entertainment (it was pretty out of hand). But that obsession brew his practice on the basics of vocal athleticism because of Brown's songs, and led to his love for dancing; which led him to another obsession for the Jabbawockeez. Having him diversify his dancing style from Krump, Pop n' Lock, Isolation (robotic dance subgenre), and a little bit of B-Boy.
He gained fame in 2021 after performing his song "Panalo (Trap CariΓ±osa)" on the Wish Bus USA went viral, amassing millions of views just a few days after premiering on YouTube on January 29. Ez Mil's song also attracted controversy for a historically inaccurate verse saying Lapu-Lapu was beheaded. βPanaloβ also made the soundtrack of the basketball video game, NBA 2K23.
July 26th, 2023 β Santa Monica, CA, Las Vegasβ Ez Mil announced his signing to Shady Records/Aftermath Entertainment/Interscope Records. He joins the likes of 50 Cent as only a few of the artists signed directly to all three labels. As a Shady/Aftermath/Interscope artist, Ez Mil is one with one of the music worldβs great triumvirates. For his part, Eminem used endlessly personal songwriting and caustic wit to become one of the most defining artists in American pop culture. Before him, Dr. Dre pioneered the sound of West Coast hip-hop twice, first as a member of the seminal group N.W.A., and a few years later by infusing street music with soulful melodies to soundtrack a new generation of low-riding cool. Together, Eminem and Dr. Dre have made timeless music. They co-signed 50 Cent in 2002, whose music broke Billboard records while crystallizing him as a rap immortal. Building off the work of Virgin, Ez is poised to let his singing-rapping talent help him follow in those footsteps. Today is the first step.
βWeβve never been out there signing a lot of artists, and one of the great things about how we built Shady is how selective weβve been,β commented Eminem. βAnd itβs even rarer that Dre and I sign something together β but I heard Ezβs music and was like, βthis is really specialβ 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.β
Dr. Dre added, βIβm 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 feelingβ¦that thing that happens when we both know weβve found something special. And that was itβ¦.letβs get to work.β

Hope you don't think I'm insane cuz man I'm pretty chill
So lemme drink this propane and down these sleeping pills

Where the booties are all shaking from these stupid little hoes
I've been tryna send a message to a cupid on the low
Praying please give me a bad bitch that can truly be my own
Yeah, scrolling through the ways that the industry's tryna soak
Through subconscious orchestration then they shove it down your throat

Like you don't have any pride
Would you just open your eyes
There's a whole plethora of music to choose
But I guess the masses fuck with the

Only scratchin' the surface that's brought through by YouTube and news
Scorching fire in the furnace of the youth who use it and loose the
Portion of their cerebellum that prevents
Extortion of wanting inhalants influenced by
Foreign, public figure peasants who think they are
Soarin' like they're in the heavens. Mmm
Morbidly formin' a horrid moral story
Scorin' the hordes in the lore of touring glory
Ignorin' the hoards to thwart my quarry's priori
Florid and borin' you whores roarin' Sorry
Yeah
But apologies don't mean shit anymore than ever
So pedal to metal, livin' through my hustle and my bustle
Turnin' every single speck of my struggle into
A definite lyrical muscle
I will never be the kinda man that abandons my
Family because I'm feeling sad and get no reply
I hope everything will end up bad for you
And you fuckin' commit suicide
I ain't fuckin with you
I don't vibe with selfish mothafuckaz I was raised by a family
We had our differences, but those differences don't never
Make us quit bein' family

Charlie08Alpha
The lapu lapu line is a methaphor.. beheaded means to seperate the body from the soul. Lahat nasaktan when he died dahil bayani siya.. the thing is, rap to.. maraming multiple entendre, metaphors na dapat hinihimay. Nasanay kasi kayo mga nursery rhyme na mga pang jologs. Kaya kayo ang mas nakakatawa. Mga ganitong bara hinihimay yan..
Sample pa para maintindihan niyo
"I've been in spain but the letter is is silent i'm claiming my rain like a king so i can water the crops for surviving."
Spain minus s = pain. Pain dahil sinakop ng spain ang pilipinas ng spain for hundreds of years.(word play)
Claiming my reign/rain (double entendre)
Reign like a king=babawiin ang paghahari/kalayaan
Rain to water the crops -dahil ang hari ay responsable para sa provision o pagkain ng kanyang pinaghaharian.
Sa mga nakakaintindi ng rap kayo yung nakakatawa. Dahil wala kayong utak para himayin yan. Balik kayo dun mga nursery rhyme na rapper bawal jologs dito. Yung mga ganyang riddle rhymes di niyo magegets yan.
