Fil-Am rapper Ez Mil is set to release DU4LI7Y: REDUX, the deluxe edition of his 2022 LP, or long play.
The deluxe edition will feature a new song, “Realest,” featuring Eminem.
It is set to be released on August 11, 2023.
Additionally, Ez Mil has been signed to Eminem’s Shady Records, Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment, and Interscope Records. He is the second artist to be signed to all three labels after 50 Cent.
On Twitter, Eminem shared the video of Ez Mil’s music video of his song “Up Down.” The rapper said, “This is why we signed him.”
Watch it below:
According to Shady Records, Eminem heard the song about a month later, and Ez Mil drove from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, where he met Eminem and Dr. Dre for the first time. They stayed in contact and recorded “Realest.”
Eminem said, “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. 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.”
Legends
Eminem is known for his personal songwriting and caustic wit to become one of the most defining artists in American pop culture.
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.
Ez Mil was in Manila in June of 2022 for his homecoming tour Ex Mil: Panalo.
