Hip-hop fans have something new to talk about after IDK brought together Eminem and the late legendary producer J Dilla for his latest release, “WELCOME.”
Released Friday, November 13, 2026, the new single features Eminem and production credited to J Dilla, creating a special collaboration that connects three different generations of hip-hop.
The record finds Eminem handling the hook while IDK takes center stage with his verses over Dilla’s hard-hitting, signature production. The collaboration is particularly significant because it marks the first time Eminem has appeared on a J Dilla-produced record.
The accompanying music video, directed by Vuhlandes, takes viewers straight to Detroit, delivering a gritty black-and-white visual that pays tribute to the city’s hip-hop culture and legacy.
Throughout the video, IDK and Eminem are surrounded by scenes featuring neighborhood streets, warehouse parties, dice games, and local residents. One of the standout moments features IDK riding in a 2004/2005 Cadillac Escalade that previously belonged to J Dilla.
Adding another layer to the tribute, the vehicle is driven by Nasaan, the son of the late D12 rapper Proof, who was a close friend and collaborator of Eminem.
But the release is bigger than just a new song.
IDK also announced a new partnership with Eminem’s Shady Records and Interscope Records, marking a major step forward in his career. The announcement arrived alongside the single and a five-minute mini-documentary titled “NO PLAN B,” which gives fans a closer look at IDK’s journey in music.
In the documentary, IDK reflects on growing up in the DMV, his early musical influences, and how listening to artists like 50 Cent and Eminem helped inspire him to become a rapper. The film also captures a studio conversation between IDK and Eminem, making the moment even more meaningful.
For IDK, working alongside someone whose music helped shape his childhood is clearly a full-circle moment.
With Eminem on the hook, J Dilla’s production behind the record, and a Detroit-inspired music video, “WELCOME” delivers a collaboration that pays respect to hip-hop’s past while introducing IDK’s next chapter.
