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 Cariñosa)" 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. ”Panalo” also made the soundtrack of the basketball video game, NBA 2K23.
July 26th, 2023 – Santa Monica, CA, Las Vegas’ 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 world’s 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.
“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,” commented Eminem. “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.”
Dr. Dre added, “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.”

In Ez Mil's song "Runnin'," the artist expresses his disregard for the rules of the music industry and his desire to experiment with his sound. The lyrics "Everything I’m doin’s for fun, so I cruise and I run in the booth like I’m inhuman or sumthin'" suggest that he is not looking to conform to any particular genre or style, but rather to create music that represents his unique personality and perspective. He also challenges his detractors with lines like "You losers are bumming I'm gunning up you fools then I'm f***ing up rules like it's nothing" and "To the very seam of the atlas, none of your weak sh** matters," showing that he is confident in his abilities and unfazed by criticism.
The chorus repeats the idea that Ez Mil is enjoying himself and unafraid to break the rules: "Everything I’m doin’s for fun, so I cruise and I run in the booth like I’m inhuman or sumthin’/ You losers is bummin I’m gunnin' up you fools then I’m f***ing up rules like it’s nothin’/ I’ma just let loose till you’re duckin’, I’ll see you runnin’." He even takes shots at other artists, including Charlie Puth, with the line "When they comparin’ our sh**, heh, they think you sound like that pop singer, Puth."
Overall, "Runnin'" is a song about self-expression and creativity, as well as the artist's willingness to push boundaries and challenge the status quo within the music industry.

The more I wonder why I hadn’t ever heard of him before. He is TOO GOOD to be hidden. I’m glad he’s getting more exposure. I hope he gets to do all he dreams of and has freedom with his music because he clearly has his own vision and multifaceted talent. ❤
