“Murdergram Deux” marks LL Cool J and Eminem’s highly anticipated first collaboration and the fourth single from LL Cool J’s long-awaited upcoming album, The FORCE. With LL’s nostalgic bravado and Eminem’s signature speedy flow and subtle wordplay, the song sees the pair boasting about their raw “unapologetic” style and credibility in the rap game. The track – a sequel to LL’s original “Murdergram” – is produced by Eminem and Q-Tip, LL’s fellow Queens rap legend and former member of A Tribe Called Quest, who has produced the entire album.

Two months before the official release of the song, an unfinished version of “Murdergram Deux” was leaked to the public, visibly annoying LL. The song was officially released on August 30th as the album’s fourth single, which is set to drop on September 9, 2024.[1]

    This is the first LL album I listened to and I was thoroughly impressed by the production and the verses!

      His back catalogue is great. He constantly reinvented his sound for new eras and innovated throughout his career.

        I’ve been meaning to check it out but his catalogue is intimidating. Whats one album you recommend based on this album

          Honestly sonically this one sounds very modern. Q-Tip production on this sounds like what Hitboy has been doing for the recent Nas albums. The older albums will sound dated.

          Mr. Smith (1995) probably has the most recognisable hits on it in terms of diving into one of the earlier albums.

    And all your motherfuckin’ enemies, they wanna off ya, like Hoffa

    And dump your body in Lake Minnetonka (Shhh)


    James Hoffa, an important leader of the labor union disappeared on July 30th, 1975. He was last seen in Detroit by a restaurant to allegedly have a meeting with mobsters. Hoffa’s body was never found and remains an unsolved mystery.

          Of course not. I’ve still got questions about Wellstone. I’ve never really dug into the Hoffa mystery, and it’s almost midnight. I’m glad I watched a bit of the Club Shae Shae video about Jim Carey. I could feel the love, in the first few minutes. ETA to not keep me up pondering darker things.
