Rapper Eminem has reached out to legendary producer DJ Premier (of Gangstarr) for assistance on new track “Keys To The City.”  This further cements speculation that Slim Shady is working on an album and eyeing a return to the Hip Hop game in 2008.

HipHopDX.com had the scoop, here are the details:

“I just got a call from Eminem,” Primo revealed.

“It’s a song that he actually produced and he wasn’t crazy about the track,� Premier says as he recalls the conversation between he and Em. “(I told him) as long as I can strip it clean and do what I do with your vocals it will be dope,� and the final result according to Premier?  “It’s dope!�

The former Gangstarr producer explained that he thought the initial song Eminem did with his own production was great but Eminem called, wanting that “DJ Premier sound.�

But how exactly will the two sound together?

 “Man…Eminem is back,� Premier continues. “He attacked the track with a new style, just fucking ridiculous, kind of like how he came with ‘The Way I Am’ but even more lyrical like the old Eminem.�

With the skills both Eminem and Primo have…the expectations are high!
