It looks like Crook is ready for Eminem to drop some unreleased gems, and fans are all for it.
Eminem’s latest album has thrilled fans with fresh features from the newest Shady Records signees like Ez Mil, GRIP, and Westside Boogie. However, many longtime followers have been wondering: where are the features from Eminem’s classic collaborators? On his previous album, “Music to Be Murdered By”, Em brought in his trusted circle — icons like Dr. Dre, Royce 5’9, and KXNG Crooked, names synonymous with lyrical precision and fierce bars.
One standout track from that album, “I Will”, delivered one of the hardest-hitting performances, featuring KXNG Crooked and Royce alongside Shady himself. Recently, Crook was reminded of this powerful verse and shared an interesting tidbit: he recorded his contribution for “I Will” a full five years before its release, surprising many fans who had no idea the verse was kept under wraps for so long.
In a recent social media post, KXNG Crooked reflected on the experience and sent a playful nudge to Eminem, hinting at more music in the vault. He wrote:
Still can’t believe that verse was 5 years old when y’all heard it… Hey Em, dig up another one.
Naturally, this got fans buzzing about what else might be sitting in the vault. With Crook’s encouragement, many hope another joint from these two lyrical titans could see the light of day someday. While Eminem’s new album focuses on the next generation of Shady talent, it’s clear that fans wouldn’t mind hearing more from his legendary collaborators, too.
