Queen Millz isn’t about to be silenced. A silver-tongued rapper from Leicester, she spent 2020 battling against preconceptions, releasing a string of fantastic singles that moved from style to style. But then came lockdown, and the world changed. Instead of being defeated, though, Queen Millz changed too – a social media star, her freestyles earned shout-outs from her peers, and took her all the way from IG Live to ITV News. Her track ‘Suffocating’ with heavy bass DJ pioneer AC Slater and Qlank became an absolute anthem, a multi-million stream hit named the official theme song for EDC Vegas last year; cheeky single ‘Mill$’ and emotional SB:TV freestyle ‘Hear Me Out’ illustrated her breadth – at times, it feels as though there’s nothing she can’t achieve. Opening 2022 with the aptly-titled ‘Winner’, Millz then switched it up with the body positive hymn ‘Body & Shape’ and the hella-cheeky R&B-tinged ‘Real One’. It’s clear that you judge Queen Millz at your peril – something the sheer breadth on ‘Causing A Scene’ makes clear. She’s leading from the front. In an era dominated by feature-culture, Queen Millz is prioritising her own voice, and speaking her truth in the process. Taking charge of the visuals for each release, Queen Millz is a true 360 threat: a songwriter who excels in the studio, an emphatic live artist, and a voice who you simply cannot ignore.
