IDK and Eminem collaborate and celebrate a new licensing deal with fresh hip-hop song, “WELCOME.”
Eminem makes another appearance, this time on an IDK track, “WELCOME,” produced by the late J Dilla. Fans of Marshall Mathers will be particularly interested in this latest track, though a contribution in the shape of a verse is not on the cards here, as he fills in with the hook this time. The new release follows the announcement of a mini-documentary that will chronicle the rapper’s time growing up in the Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia (DMV) area, as well as his appreciation for musicians who inspire him.
The release comes on the back of Eminem’s controversial collaboration with MAGA-supporting artist Kid Rock, which fans criticised due to the rock artist’s divisive political views.
New Deal and Rap Influences
IDK has made no secret of his affinity for hip-hop’s pioneers, going one step further to feature them on his own tracks, with one posthumous team-up alongside DMX for “Start to Finish (S.T.F.)”.
Speaking on his collaboration with Eminem, the London-born rapper said: “The first rap album I’ve ever owned was 50 Cent’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’. A Shady Records release. The first raps I made it a point to memorize were Eminem raps.”
The two also reveal an accompanying music video with muted colours and black-and-white segments throughout Detroit as IDK spits atop a Cadillac Escalade which was previously owned by J Dilla himself. Driving the car is Nissan, the son of Eminem’s late friend and rapper Proof, amongst visuals intermittently filled with street dancers, dice games and parties.
The rapper has announced a new partnership with Shady Records and Interscope Records, which will work to expand his already growing audience. The agreement will see IDK license his music to the two labels, in a deal that will help the rapper increase his appeal to more listeners.
