EZ Mil released his new EP 3RD WRLD VOL. 1 on July 31, 2026, through Shady Records, Aftermath Entertainment, and Interscope Records. The three-song project was written, produced, and performed entirely by EZ Mil, born Ezekiel Miller, in Olongapo City, Philippines.

The EP opens with "2200," named for Olongapo's zip code and mixed by Dr. Dre. The track was released the week before the full EP dropped and comes with a director's cut music video shot across the Philippines, Japan, and the United States. The video features pro skater Eric Koston, Japanese rapper and singer AWICH, and Filipino R&B artist Dionela. In it, EZ Mil appears at the grand opening of Japan's FUJI BerriQs Skate Plaza and at what the press release describes as a sold-out arena show in Manila.

Track two, "SINDAK" (Tagalog for "intimidation"), layers Tagalog lyrics over bass-heavy, metalcore-influenced production. The EP closes with "LORD HELP ME," which shifts in tone toward the road ahead.

EZ Mil raps in both English and Tagalog throughout the project. That bilingual approach has been central to his catalog since "Panalo (Trap Cariñosa)" went viral through a live performance on the Wish USA Bus. According to the release, that video has surpassed 88 million views on YouTube.

Earlier this year, EZ Mil appeared on "Head Honcho" from Eminem's The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). According to the release, that song debuted at No. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. His 2023 Eminem collaboration "Realest" debuted at No. 3 on Billboard's Rap Digital Song Sales and R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales charts, per the release.

EZ Mil also runs his own independent imprint, FFP Records, which has signed its first artist, Raynn. For independent artists, that detail is worth noting: he built the audience and the major-label deal, then turned around and started his own label anyway.
