On May 16, 2025, SUMiT and Millyz will release a new collaborative single titled “Really the 1.” The track brings together two lyrically focused artists rooted in Massachusetts: SUMiT, representing Worcester, and Millyz from Cambridge. The track will be released under SUMiT // DNT Entertainment, and distributed by The Orchard, a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment.
“Really the 1” is produced, mixed, and mastered by Cold Spring Motel, with executive production by Danny DiRoberto. The song features emotionally layered verses that blur the lines between bold confidence and introspective reflection. SUMiT explores themes of ego, honesty, and personal ambition, while Millyz adds a grounded and reflective close to the track.
According to early previews, the hook “We both really the 1 though,” emphasizes mutual recognition and shared artistic vision.
A performance-focused music video, directed by Dom Bruno with a minimalist aesthetic, is scheduled to premiere alongside the single. The album artwork, inspired by engagement rings, symbolizes personal and professional commitment.
The release comes as SUMiT prepares to join Millyz on select dates of his upcoming Blanco 7 Tour, furthering their collaboration beyond the studio. “Really the 1” follows recent solo projects from both artists—SUMiT’s Find a Way, an eight-track album featuring the singles “Motion” and “Including You,” and Millyz’s latest Album, Blanco 7.

Hip-hop or hip hop (formerly known as disco rap) is a popular music genre that emerged in the early 1970s from the African-American community of New York City.[4][5] The genre is characterized by stylized rhythmic sounds—often built around funk grooves, electronic drum beats, and rapping, a percussive vocal delivery of rhymed poetic speech as consciousness-raising expression.[6] The music developed as part of the broader hip-hop culture; while often used to refer solely to rapping and rap music, “hip-hop” more properly denotes the practice(s) of the entire subculture.[7] The term hip-hop music is sometimes used synonymously with the term rap music,[6][8] though rapping may not be the focus of hip-hop music. The genre also centers DJing, turntablism, scratching,[9] beatboxing, and instrumental tracks.
