E.MILLZ Got His Game Up
By Demone Gore
3BA is constantly looking for talented individuals with blazing, amazing skills; who are ready, willing and able to challenge themselves in our league. We expect our players to conduct themselves with integrity, positivity and exude a level of professionalism on and off the court... and even at half-time.
Eric “E.Millz” Miller, 21, of Lacey Washington got his head-in-the-game hoping to one day display his skills as a 3BA performer.
This father of one, who works at a diet supplements call center has always been intrigued with the 3BA concept and was honored to be offered the opportunity to work with the league.
Growing up playing in 3 on 3 tournaments and pick-up games himself, he knew he could match the intensity and speed of the 3BA game with his lyrical delivery and flow.
No more than 3 days from making contact with E.Millz, he came with an up-tempo, court thumping, chest bumping track, designed to get a player and fan into-the-zone.
“Get Ya Game Up (It's 3BA)” was written specifically for 3BA. With a quick cutting bridge, confident verses and direct content that all basketball enthusiasts can relate to The over-all feel of the song is like an event in itself; like something exciting is about to happen... like The 3BA.
E.Millz got his start 5 years ago as a slam poet in English class. When his instructor and classmates started to take an interest in his rhymes, E.Millz found his calling.
He's performed hundreds of shows all over the Northwest including Denver and has never lost a rap battle. This independent artist is looking forward to opening for Eminem's D-12 and is constantly working on new material.
When asked his thoughts on how music and basketball are similar-
“In Rap battles I call myself Mr. Clutch. I like to challenge the guy who no one can beat and deliver that one line or verse that ends the game. It's like checking-the-ball before play but we say mic-check. You don't have to be old-skool or new skool with your rhymes to skool someone in a battle like you would on the court. Teamwork in a game is the same in the studio. The engineer is the game-director making sure everything runs smooth. The producer is like the referees' setting the tempo, allowing the tone. The fans are the fans. My manager would be the coach and the artist is the athlete, giving all they got.”
