## Key points

- IDK has released a track joining Eminem with a J Dilla beat.
- Eminem handles the hook; IDK delivers the verses.
- The song and video are out through Shady/Interscope.

## Summary

Newly added coverage confirms that IDK’s “Welcome” pairs Eminem’s vocals with a beat left behind by J Dilla, bringing the two artists together on record for the first time. The track matters as a posthumous meeting between figures who came from Detroit’s 1990s underground rap scene but never worked together.

Eminem mainly performs the hook, fitting his precise delivery to Dilla’s characteristically relaxed timing, while IDK raps the verses. Released through Shady/Interscope, the song’s video was filmed in Detroit by director Vuhlandes, and a short documentary clip shows IDK and Eminem in the studio.
