Myles Hadley Lockwood, known professionally as Millyz, is an American rapper born in Boston and raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Recognized for his sharp lyricism and authentic storytelling, he credits his upbringing with shaping his life and music:

In fact, everything I learned comes from Cambridge. That city taught me everything I know.

He began participating in local rap battles and cyphers at 14 and recorded his first mixtape, Whiteboy Like Me, in 2009.

Eminem played a pivotal role in Millyz’s aspiration to rap:

Eminem was probably the one that made me go, ‘He did it, I can do it.’

Additionally, he expressed admiration for Jim Jones:

Jim Jones is one of my biggest influences.

In 2018, Millyz launched his Blanco album series, which has been pivotal in his career. By the release of Blanco IV in 2021, he achieved a significant milestone with the album reaching the No. 93 spot on the Billboard 200 chart. Reflecting on the series' evolution, Millyz shared in March 2025:

When I started the Blanco series I was tryna figure out where my life was goin… then it all clicked around B4. By the time B6 hit my whole life had did a 180° an I was higher than I ever expected to get in music coming from where I’m from.. I took the last year to enjoy being a ‘rapper’ an the things that come with it.. but a lot changed in that time, I’m writing this without damn near half the people that started the run with me an that shit hurt💔 but through it all I always knew this was my purpose in life to spiritually connect with people through music!

Millyz has built a strong reputation through collaborations with some of hip-hop’s elite, including Benny the Butcher, Dave East, and Jadakiss. His track “Kobe Season” with Benny the Butcher highlights their shared street-savvy lyricism, delivering gritty bars over hard-hitting production. With Dave East, Millyz has worked on multiple tracks, including “Dope Sellers” and a joint album in 2021, Pablo & Blanco. His collaborations with Jadakiss, a longtime mentor and supporter, have been pivotal in his career, with the two teaming up on tracks like “Hopeless” and “Back to the Money” that showcase their mutual respect and dedication to lyricism.
