Jay-Z and Eminem to Reunite on Rakim Album With First Track Together in 25 Years

Duel of the Iron Mic

The two stars pay homage to the fellow rap icon on his collaborative album with Kurupt and Masta Killa

Jay-Z and Eminem are slated to appear on a song from rap legend Rakim‘s forthcoming album, which will mark their first time on the same track in 25 years. The Grammy Award-winning rap icons’ last musical collaboration was in 2001, on “Renegade” from Jay-Z’s The Blueprint album.

The upcoming song, which is currently untitled, is set to appear on a forthcoming collaborative album pairing Rakim with Kurupt and Masta Killa, targeted for release on Aug. 28.

News of a reunion between Em and Hov surfaced on Sunday (June 7), when Matthew “M80” Markoff, JD, the A&R and executive producer of the album, shared a sneak peek at the track list of Rakim’s collaborative project in a post on Instagram.
