Mills, is a hybrid artist from Riverside, CA: his sound stems from a variety of influences ranging from Wu Tang Clan to Blink-182; Bone Thugz and Harmony to The Dream; Rusko to Wiz Khalifa — a true testament to the “Playlist Generation” unbound by genre. In 2010 Mills released an EP, a full length titled, “Ready, Fire, Aim!”, on Uprising Records. He performed on the Warped Tour, as well as Bamboozle. He recently sold out his first headlining show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles, and plans to release a mixtape in early June featuring production by J Hawk, Matt Squire, Rusko, Colin Munroe, Hit Boy, The Stereotypes and more.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to T. Mills's song Intro are a simple repetition of one phrase: "Ready, Fire, Aim!" The phrase itself is a play on the traditional saying "Ready, Aim, Fire!" which is often used in military or shooting contexts. In this song, however, the order is reversed, suggesting a more impulsive or reckless approach to life.

The repetition of the phrase throughout the song reinforces this idea, as if the singer is trying to convince himself (or the listener) of the value of taking risks and acting quickly. The mention of "Young Favorites" at the beginning also suggests a group or community of people who share this mindset. Overall, the lyrics present a philosophy of living in the moment, taking chances, and embracing the unpredictable nature of life.
