“Danggg people are SO mad. Let the man do what he wants and if you don’t like it don’t listen,” said one.
“This is absolutely incredible! Perfect collaboration…,” wrote another.
The track, “Heal My Faith,” was the song Kid Rock originally wanted Eminem to appear on. In an interview with Billboard, the rocker said Eminem was initially announced as a guest on “7 Sins,” but they decided to keep their collaboration to one song. “We agreed we didn’t need two songs together…people are going to think we’re dating,” Kid Rock joked to the outlet.
