Massachusetts rappers Millyz and Joyner Lucas have released their first collaborative single, titled “Corleone,” marking a notable moment for the state’s hip-hop scene. The record arrives after years of anticipation and represents a full-circle collaboration between two artists who emerged from the same regional landscape but followed distinct paths to national recognition.
For Millyz, the collaboration reflects both personal motivation and professional alignment. Coming up during a period when few artists from Massachusetts had achieved sustained visibility in mainstream hip-hop, Joyner Lucas’ rise served as an early point of inspiration. As Joyner’s career expanded beyond the region, it helped demonstrate that artists from the state could compete at a national level without relocating or reshaping their identities.

“Corleone” brings the two rappers together at a point when both have established clear creative lanes. The release was facilitated in part by actor and entrepreneur Mark Wahlberg, whose involvement helped bridge the connection between the two artists. With “Corleone,” Millyz and Joyner Lucas present a unified front for Massachusetts hip-hop, emphasizing shared roots and mutual respect.
The single stands as both a collaborative milestone and a broader statement about regional solidarity, reinforcing the idea that success from the state is not isolated, but interconnected.
