Millyz puts his own spin on Eminem's "Stan" for his latest effort off of "Blanco 6."

Millyz emerged as one of the most impressive lyricists in recent times. Though he’s often discredited for being a white rapper, he has undoubtedly proven to be an impressive force. Not to mention, he’s earned praise and co-signs from a slew of respected MCs, from Dave East to Jadakiss. In 2022, he blessed fans with the fifth installment in the Blanco series, which is arguably the best. It also had some of the biggest features with artists like Fivio Foreign and Styles P appearing on the project.

The rapper is currently revving up for the release of Blanco 6, which will hit streaming services on April 7th. He previously reunited with Jadakiss on “Moon Roof,” and delivered a handful of other collaborations in anticipation of the project. “Risk Takers” found Millyz trading bars with Albee Al and Leaf Ward and he also unleashed “Role Model.” However, today, he blessed fans with a major record that doubles as an impressive co-sign from Slim Shady.

Millyz Samples Eminem On “Tonight”

In the midst of Melle Mel’s recent comments about Eminem, Kevin Gates said that the Detroit rapper earns a spot in his top 5 off the strength of “Stan.” Today, Millyz debuted his new single, “Tonight” which samples the Ditto-assisted record. While Millyz flexes his melodic range, he also taps into his intensity as he details the volatility of the streets and tries to survive those circumstances. “I know they talkin’ to agents/ Pray they don’t hit us with RICO/ I know I’m the one that they namin’,” he raps.

Prior to the song’s release, Millyz found himself engulfed in a mild feud with Rae Sremmurd, more specifically Slim Jxmmi. Since Swae Lee just got Eminem to clear the sample, Slim felt a type of way about Millyz using the sample to “Stan.” He said that Swae’s “banging” version will land on Sremm 4 Life while Millyz simply brushed it off, telling him, “u be aight.” We’ll see if Swae Lee’s version ends up hitting the same way as Millyz’s single “Tonight.”  Press play above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics
Ready to go, why would I leave?
Slide with the mob, that’s how I bleed
Swerve in the Ghost, pickin’ up speed
Hop in this yeah, it put me as ease
