Leaks seem to be rife in the music industry this year, but another song has made its way to the public’s ears.
The victims of this leak are LL Cool J and Eminem. Now that “Murdergram” is out, fans are wondering whether they’ll see an official release, even though LL Cool J’s new album is set to be released this fall.

Fans are understandably concerned; especially considering how outspoken Eminem has been about music leaks and piracy, and the direct harm these actions have done to him on songs like “Bad Meets Evil” and “Take From Me.”
Of course, this leaked 3+ minute song from two of the biggest hip-hop artists of our time doesn’t sit well with the artist. Fans on a part of.
For context, the song is supposedly part of LL Cool J’s upcoming album THE FORCE, his first full-length album after an 11-year wait. Just a few days ago, LL gave an interview to “NME” and declared that he is ready and willing to do “the darkest things in the world” through this project. He also told them how Kendrick had impressively weathered the feud between the Big Three, and appreciated the back-and-forth as an important part of hip-hop and thought it was good for the culture — but it wasn’t focus.
Importantly, and interestingly, on June 11, it was reported that a user on X had uploaded a snippet of the now-leaked track, teasing the full leak. Note that not only is this an LL Cool J song featuring Eminem, it may also have been executive produced by Q-Tip if it is indeed part of the album. The user further claimed that the track was recorded as far back as 2022.
