LL Cool J and Eminem have teamed up for the release of their new music video "Murdergram Deux," delivering a strong dose of nostalgia. The video transports fans back in time, recreating iconic moments from hip-hop history. LL Cool J pays homage to his Bigger and Deffer album cover from 1987, blending past visuals with a modern twist. Eminem, on the other hand, channels Big Daddy Kane’s Long Live the Kane cover art, showing his deep respect for the legends that came before him. The video also nods to LL’s classic “Going Back to Cali” visual, bringing it to life again for today’s audience.
Directed by JakeTheShooter, "Murdergram Deux" offers a unique blend of old-school aesthetics with fresh energy. The collaboration marks a significant moment for both artists, as it's their first official music video together. The release has generated excitement, particularly after an unfinished version of the track leaked earlier this year. LL Cool J’s frustration with the leak only built more anticipation for the final version.
The track comes just ahead of LL Cool J’s latest album The Force, produced by Q-Tip. The album includes features from hip-hop heavyweights like Nas, Snoop Dogg, and Busta Rhymes. With "Murdergram Deux" leading the way, LL Cool J’s return to music promises to deliver more of the dynamic creativity he's known for. Fans are already buzzing about the video’s references to classic hip-hop visuals, making it a must-watch for long-time followers of the genre.
