Jake Miller Talks Math, Eminem, Poetry & Owning Over 1,000 Hats

Jake Miller might have won over the hearts of teen girls everywhere, but he wasn't always the coolest kid in class. "In ninth grade I was in this contest where whoever memorized the most digits of pi won a pi t-shirt," Miller tells Fuse. "At that time I won. I memorized like a hundred digits. I think I still know it. You can google it to make sure I'm not lyring. It's 3.141592653589793238462643383279. That's not a hundred but it's pretty close. It's impressive!" It sure is!

At 22, Miller has been in the hip hop game for most of his youth, and it all began with a childhood fascination with Eminem. "Eminem was one of the first artists I can even remember listening to on my iPod," he says. "He's really the reason that I fell in love with hip hop. Eminem was, I think, the first rapper I was exposed to. I remember as a little kid my dad watched 8 Mile with me and I feel in love with Eminem and his whole movement. It was the whole underdog thing. I could kind of relate to it and that's what really inspired me. I had more than just a musical connection to him. I felt like I had a personal connection to him."
