Eminem is officially confirmed on LL Cool J’s upcoming album, “THE FORCE”.
LL dropped the bomb on Instagram, unveiling a guest list fit for a hip hop summit. Nas, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, and Saweetie are all on board, but it’s the presence of Eminem that has fans buzzing.
Of course, LL has been talking about their collaboration for a while now and confirmed it again after their track was recently leaked.
Now, the album finally has a release date and the official tracklist, which confirms both Eminem’s participation and the fact that he is featured on the sequel to “Murdergram”, LL’s hit from his 1990 classic album “Mama Said Knock You Out”.

1. Spirit of Cyrus (feat. Snoop Dogg)
2. The FORCE

Eminem’s reverence for LL Cool J is no secret. Marshall talked about it in his interviews, he heavily referenced LL’s “Mama Said Knock You Out” visuals in his music video for “Higher” from “Music to Be Murdered By”. The respect is mutual. It is enough to remember that it was Eminem who LL invited to perform at his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. And then, later, he recommended Eminem for the same honour.
So, there is no doubt that this joint will be remarkable. And the whole album, produced by legendary Q-Tip and star-studded with hip hop heavyweights, promised to be an important event.
Mark your calendars for September 6 because “The Force” is about to unleash a lyrical storm with Eminem at the epicentre. Don’t miss it!
