Eminem is executive producing and releasing new music on the Southpaw (Music from and inspired by the motion picture) soundtrack, according to a press release posted on Shady Records’ website today (May 22).
The Detroit rapper’s “Phenomenal” is the project’s first single. It is produced by DJ Khalil and is featured in the trailer of the film, which is below.
The soundtrack is set to be released on Shady/Interscope Records and slated for a July release. Southpaw is due in theaters July 24.
The film follows light heavyweight boxing champion Billy “The Great” Hope, who is portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal. Former Shady Records recording artist 50 Cent portrays Hope’s lifelong friend and manager.
“We have been involved in developing Southpaw since it’s inception and Eminem has dedicated himself to ensuring that this film captured his passion for the project through his music,” Shady Records President Paul Rosenberg says in the press release. ” We’ve assembled a great soundtrack to accompany what’s sure to be one of the finest boxing films ever.”

Go to hell Eminem your integrity died after 2003
your poor intelligence died 8 hours ago, Rip
Go to heaven Eminem your integrity lived since 1999
this headline dont have the same meaning anymore..coming from a long Em fan..all he does if focus on lyrics..while thats great he forgot beats and flow make the hiphop track your writing the lyrics too
i havnt replayed 1 eminem song since maybe 1 or 2 songs TOTAL off his last 2 solo albums.
Flop film will result in a flop soundtrack. Eminem’s lost it since recovery.
Fuck you
recovery was his worst album. crying thru the entire album ‘poor me’
Em was suppose to be the lead role for this. The trailer gives away the entire movie though
Who cares EM this sucker says bad words about his OWN MOM what a psycho! GTFO!
Didnt you listen to the last album meathead, pay attention you saying the same shit he said
Dam this looks like it sucks. Another flop from 50 and em, its becoming a hardcore rrend 4 them lately
Em flops? His last album went multiplatinum. I’ll give you 50 though.
Em is the G.O.A.T of rap. Bitches
Em was killed
Eminem need to put out a serious banger of a song n stop wit the rappity rap flow he using it’s fuckin horrible and im a big fan of his stuff right up to relapse but when I hear he putting out new music or a verse I have really stopped caring
Translation: when I listen to rappers, I rather them do less rapping and more catchy choruses.
em could re-release his old shit and most of you humans would eat that shit up!!
Doesnt every successful artist do that?
i would love to hear like a B sides from Em, i mean u know theres all kinds of tracks that didnt make mmlp and eminem show….hell probably lots of music from the whole shady label that didnt make album cuts….shit would be raw
Remember the time when eminem would have dissed pop stars like gwen stefani instead of working with them? At least 50, Royce, and slaughterhouse are on there.
yup almost 15-20 years ago..move on.
Gwen stefani made good, original music with no doubt doubtback in the day, manufactured pop like britney is not of the same cloth. Gwen stefani is legit.
cant tell much from a tracklist but damn this looks good.. Ems been known to always made solid soundtrack music
well, he’s one for one so far…
2 for 2…resurrection soundtrack
4 for 4 actually. ressurection. 8 mile original music inspired by the movie, 8 mile classics that were in the movie, and southpaw
yeah, back then the visions, yeah most of the time i was convinced…. shit, i’d lost it…. but there were other times….. i thought i was mainlining the secret truth of the universe….
His last album is Relapse . . .
Seems cool. Can´t w8 2 hear that busta, crooked and tech song ! just hope that one isn´t the one he asked Tech for a verse 2 use instead of his own in WWC2. Em and Gwen is funny interesting, also slaughterhouse, BME songs and prhyme.. yeah this will be cool.
As shit as eminem is, at least he knows he’s pop, unlike others like 50 and chris brown. At least he knows to limit himself to pop artists.
Eminem is not shit and he is not pop, he’s hip-hop (same goes to 50 Cent). Eminem is not limiting himself to anything as he has worked with hip-hop artists. Every rapper works with pop singers, including your favorites. That doesn’t make him not hip-hop.
Bitch shut up. You must be chris brown stalking me on every article.
This isn’t even about Chris Brown. Hop off his dick.
Read my fucking comment next time before you even accuse me of being a fan of chris brown. I have CLEARLY stated he needs to go to hell.
eminem G.O.A.T. The best nigga
Last good Eminem song I heard was Lose Yourself.
Been a while, not expecting much but I always root for the underdog.
That said, hope Crooked I delivers.
“Eminem is whack, I listen to trap music” lmao
if you like his old shit, buy his old shit!
OPEN YOUR MIND! man he’s still ONE of the greatest!
and fuck those “stan” comments, i read everywhere when someone likes em. i don’t say every track he does is dope, but he clearly didn’t sellout!
And how can you judge about an album, which isn’t released yet!?
He sold out! He did a song with rihanna, gwen stefani, skylar grey and pink
remember when he was rumored to be acting in this?
Eminem you fucking rock!!! Oh please oh please let me suck on your fuxking cock?
“Eminem fell off” but what you dont seem to realize is that even though he isnt in his prime, his weakest stuff is still better than what anyone else is doing lmao.
yea ‘berserk’ came out and people told me he wasn’t good anymore, which was true, but tried to say 2chainz new shit was better than Em’s new shit. shit was annoying, they just don’t know music.
^ This
@joe not really true he doesn’t make better music than nipsey hussle, Freddie Gibbs, big krit, Ross, j Cole, Lamar,
SOREN I CAN SEE YOU TOOK A FEW MINUTE BREAK FROM DEVOURING EMINEM’S NUTSACK TO CREATE THIS AS USUAL USELESS ARTICLE
i love the HHDX comment section
Em is technically one of the greatest of all time, but his strength is also his weakness. I feel he focuses to much on the technical side of emceeing and it takes the away from good song making. I respect his skill, as I said one of the greatest but it can’t listen to him anymore, it’s like ear torture. That ain’t no diss.
I came across hiphopdx literally a second ago and there are some really retarded people on here that don’t know shit about hip-hop.
Eminem is hands down one of the best rappers to ever do it, but his production is meh.
not a bad album. better than shady xv
Tech N9ne is one of the most slept on rappers. Guy has skill. Glad him and Eminem are doing music together.
What was the Frank Ocean song at the end???
Wiseman by frank ocean
