Jay-Z and Eminem are set to appear together on a track from rap legend Rakim’s forthcoming collaborative album. Multiple outlets report the two artists will contribute a song on the album, which Rakim is developing with Kurupt and Masta Killa. The collaboration is positioned as their first time working together in roughly 25 years. Rolling Stone and Vice both describe the new appearance as a reunion, framing it as a homage to Rakim and his upcoming record. NME similarly states the first track featuring both performers will mark the return of the duo’s collaboration after a long gap.
The last widely cited Jay-Z–Eminem collaboration is their work from 2001, when Eminem featured on “Renegade” on Jay-Z’s album The Blueprint. The current reports do not list additional details about the track’s title or release date, focusing instead on the fact of the reunion and the project’s connection to Rakim’s upcoming collaborative album.
