LL Cool J and Eminem‘s “Murdergram Deux” has finally been officially released after an unfinished version previously leaked online.
The track, from LL’s upcoming album The Force, sees the two rap Gods trade fast-paced bars over a manic Q-Tip beat with Em also providing production.
The two use the track to flex their lyrical skills with LL spitting: “Do you remember first time you heard the legend in leather? / The career ender with the road-killer stuck to his fender / I’m on another bender, drunk off the power that make a coward surrender as I devour contenders.”
Em also offers up some of his trademark wordplay: “I can’t understand a single word you’re saying / I think you have syrup brain, ’bout to finish you like polyurethane / All that molly probably sure to drain your spinal fluid from your vertebrae.”
LL previously addressed the unauthorized leak of the track, saying it was not the finished version.

Speaking to Raymond T, he said: “It’s not A.I. 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 their done, you know how your grandmother slaps your hand when you try to check the pots early. It’s not A.I., it’s a real joint.”
Em and LL have been longtime admirers of each other without ever collaborating over the course of their lengthy careers.
Eminem previously reminisced about meeting the “I’m Bad” rapper for the first time on the set of his music video for “Just Don’t Give a Fuck”.
He said to LL on his Rock the Bells radio show: “I’m like, ‘Yo, he’s in here by himself.’ I was buggin’ the fuck out. You quoted a lyric back to me. You said, ‘Yo, how can I be white/ I don’t even exist.’ You quoting that lyric back to me, was like, I think I shit myself.”
