The road to a success can be a long, winding one, but as Massachusetts-bred rapper Millyz knows, once things begin to look up, the journey starts to make sense. Hailing from the state's Cambridge areathe home of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technologythe then-aspiring rhymer was was just 14 years old when he started to jump into local rap battles and cyphers.

He started recording in the studio at 15, and dropped his first mixtape, Whiteboy Like Me, in 2009. The rhymer leaned into the white rapper label head on. Millyz is a street rapper through and through, rattling off punchlines and connecting thoughts about his time on the block clearly. He's also versatile, rapping over traditional hip-hop beats and the more modern trap sound.

Millyz dropped his first album, Future Memories, in 2013, which is the same year he met Jadakiss, an early supporter who became a close friend of his. Jada jumped onto the remix of Millyz's song "The Plug," in 2013. The initial track was already buzzing around New England, and the remix kicked off their musical relationship. A few years later in 2016, Millyz showcased his lyrical skills in the BET Hip Hop Awards cypher. Lucky for him, the MC got his shot i the cypher because one of the scheduled rappers missed the shoot. His appearance on the awards show, in which he rapped about race relations, police brutality and more, led into his radio freestyle run that took him to spit bars for the likes of Statik Selektah, Funk Flex and Sway, among others.

By 2018, Millyz kicked off his Blanco album series; by 2020's Blanco 3, he was starting to gain real traction on YouTube and at shows, amassing views and selling tickets at a rate higher than ever. With both videos for 2020's "Himalayas" and "Heightened Senses" featuring Jim Jones crossing a million views, a first for the rising artist, things were beginning to change.

This year, his collab EP, Pablo & Blanco, with Dave East arrived in May, shortly before Millyz's new album, Blanco IV, further bolstered his career. The new LP dropped on Aug. 20, and landed at the No. 93 spot on the Billboard 200 chart, a huge moment for a rapper who was giving out his own mixtapes back in 2009. The tracks from the album that are currently picking up momentum are "Emotions" with G Herbo and "Hopeless" featuring Jadakiss, both with videos that have crossed the million-views mark in under a month.
