Jay‑Z and Eminem Reported to Feature Together on Rakim Album

A producer's Instagram post lists the pairing as an interlude meant to honor Rakim, with no official confirmation from the artists or their labels.

Overview

  • The report traces to a hand‑written tracklist Matthew Markoff posted on Instagram and cited by Rolling Stone that names a track listed as “Six w/ Eminem & Jay‑Z (Interlude).”
  • Markoff told Rolling Stone the entry is an interlude recorded in the past two years to honor Rakim and that full rap verses from Jay‑Z and Eminem may not appear.
  • News outlets say the Rakim album is expected in August and one report gives August 28 as the release date, but those timing details remain unconfirmed by the artists or labels.
  • If accurate, the listing would mark the first joint appearance by Jay‑Z and Eminem since their 2001 collaboration on “Renegade,” a pairing that draws strong attention from fans and critics.
  • Social media users have speculated the interlude could use interview clips or brief tributes; the next steps to watch are official confirmations from Rakim, Jay‑Z, Eminem, or their record teams and any updated tracklist from the producer.
