Back in the 90s it seemed that in order to be somebody you couldnt possibly do an album without the legendary DJ Premier stamping his trademark production. From Nas to Jay-Z and everyone in between, a DJ Premier track made every artist worth talking about official. These days, those calls have dwindled as the younger crop of emcees have opted to go another route while Premier nurtures a new batch of emcees.

But theres one person that needs that extra punch to make his comeback official and he picked up the phone to make that call

Marshall Mathers aka Slim Shady aka Eminem

"I just got a call from Eminem," Primo revealed exclusively to HipHopDX.

The song, titled Keys To The City, will indeed be on Eminems upcoming album (possibly leaked as the street single) and will be the first time Slim Shady will put his signature flow over a DJ Premier backdrop.

Its a song that he actually produced and he wasnt crazy about the track, Premier says as he recalls the conversation between he and Em. (I told him) as long as I can strip it clean and do what I do with your vocals it will be dope, and the final result according to Premier? Its dope!

The former Gangstarr producer explained that he thought the initial song Eminem did with his own production was great but Eminem called, wanting that DJ Premier sound.

But how exactly will the two sound together?

ManEminem is back, Premier continues. He attacked the track with a new style, just fucking ridiculous, kind of like how he came with The Way I Am but even more lyrical like the old Eminem.

With a legend like DJ Premier saying that the song is ridiculous what more can you expect? Be on the lookout for Keys To The City off of the as-yet-titled Eminem album dropping this year.
