AceShowbiz - For the first time ever, LL Cool J and Eminem have collaborated on a rap project, setting the stage ablaze with their new track "Murdergram Deux." The single is part of LL Cool J's highly anticipated album "The Force", set to release on September 6. The explosive collaboration, which dropped unexpectedly on August 30, showcases the dynamic duo exchanging rapid-fire bars over a pulsating beat produced by Q-Tip and Eminem himself.

LL Cool J kicks off "Murdergram Deux" with fierce lines, "Give blessings to my disciples, professional I'm a sniper/ Like eight miles away, me and Marshall doing murders/ With dirty burners, break them down and melt them in the furnace."

Eminem matches LL's energy and closes out the track with his signature breathless delivery, "Go ahead and crack a bottle, 'cause this is E and J/ Meaning me and James (Yeah), got that avocado/ And we the sociopaths, and we got your ho on our laps/ And we're goin' back to Cali so she can blow on our sax."

The collaboration arrives on the heels of an unofficial version that leaked online a few months back, much to LL Cool J's dismay. He expressed his frustration during a radio interview, saying, "It's not AI, but it's not official. It's not official, it's not the right version. People just walk all in the kitchen, touching the rolls before they're done - you know, how your grandmother slaps your hand when you try to check the pots early. It's not AI, it's a real joint."

Despite being their first official collaboration, LL Cool J and Eminem have shared the stage before, notably at the 2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, where they performed LL's classics "Going Back to Cali" and "Rock the Bells."

"The Force" marks LL Cool J's return to the music scene after an 11-year hiatus, with his last album, "Authentic", released in 2013. Aside from Eminem, the album boasts features from heavyweights like Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Rick Ross, Saweetie, and Nas]. Previous releases from the album season include "Saturday Night Special" with Rick Ross and Fat Joe, "Passion," and "Proclivities" featuring Saweetie.

Meanwhile, Eminem recently released his album "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace)", which faced a chilly reception from critics. Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield critiqued the album, stating, "The Death of Slim Shady is a star with the yips, sweating to reassure everyone - especially himself - he's still got it. He remembers how great he was at this when he was young, and he hopes to remind you, by repeating old tricks he's not necessarily so great at in 2024."

As LL Cool J prepares for his album's release and an upcoming performance at the VMAs, fans eagerly await more of the fierce energy and innovative artistry that "Murdergram Deux" encapsulates.
