Ez Mil and Eminem's "MADARA" Is Out Now. Here's Exactly When It Dropped

Midnight Eastern, Friday, October 9. Eminem co-produced it, and the man who voices Madara Uchiha is on the track.

Ez Mil and Eminem are back together. "MADARA (with Eminem)" is out now on every platform, and it is the lead single from Ez Mil's upcoming EP 3RD WRLD VOL. 2.

Ez Mil set the date himself on October 3: a pre-save post on X saying MADARA was dropping "next Friday, Oct 9." It landed right on schedule.

What time did MADARA drop?

The song went live at 12:00 AM Eastern on Friday, October 9, 2026 (9:00 PM Pacific on Thursday night), the standard global Friday release. The YouTube audio tracks went up at about 12:02 AM ET, and the official lyric video followed on Ez Mil's channel at about 12:56 AM ET.

Ez Mil then posted an "out now" reel on Instagram at about 1:12 AM ET, shared to Eminem's page as a joint post.

The Naruto connection

The title is a nod to Madara Uchiha, one of the biggest villains in Naruto, and Ez Mil leaned all the way in. The teaser reel was tagged #NARUTO, and the release caption opens with a shadow clone joke: a thousand clones, but only one Shady.

The featured credit backs it up. Neil Kaplan, the English voice of Madara Uchiha, is on the track, along with Japanese rapper Hideyoshi.

• Artists: EZ MIL and Eminem, featuring Neil Kaplan and Hideyoshi

• Mixed by: Mike Strange. Mastered by: Brian "Big Bass" Gardner

Luis Resto and Mike Strange are longtime fixtures of Em's own records, so this one has the full Shady team behind it.

Ez Mil and Eminem so far

The Filipino American rapper signed with Shady, Aftermath and Interscope in July 2023. About a week later the pair released "Realest," and Ez Mil showed up again on "Head Honcho" from Eminem's 2024 album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). 3RD WRLD VOL. 1 came out in August with "2200" and "SINDAK."
