While we may have already heard Eminem’s latest single “Kings Never Die” featuring Gwen Stefani last week, the official, CDQ-version of the record can now be yours for free when you pre-order the Southpaw soundtrack on Apple Music.
Serving as the follow up to “Phenomenal”, “Kings Never Die” is a triumphant, rock-inspired anthem that finds Em showing off his insane lyricism and rapid fire flow, while Gwen takes care of the powerful chorus. Having received mixed reactions so far, the single is definitely one that will grow on you the more you listen, especially when it comes to catching all of Em’s slick wordplay and punchlines. So do yourself the favor and give this a couple spins before you write it off.
Look for the "Southpaw" soundtrack, which is due out July 24, to also feature guest contributions from 50 Cent, Action Bronson, Joey Bada$$, and The Weeknd.
Quotable Lyrics:
How come it wasn't what I thought it was
Was it, too good to be true?
Have nothing, get it all but too much of it
Then lose it again, then I swallow hallucinogens
Cause if not, where the hell did it go?
Cause here I sit in Lucifer’s den by the dutch oven
Just choosing to sin
Even if it means I'm selling my soul, just to be the undisputed again
Do whatever I gotta do this to win
