Eminem Turns Action Hero and Meets John Malkovich in Epic "Phenomenal" Video

Eminem has executive produced the soundtrack to Southpaw, director Antoine Fuqua’s new film starring Jake Gyllenhaal as a boxer and 50 Cent as his manager. Last week Eminem shared “Phenomenal”, one of four tracks he wrote for the soundtrack. Now, that song has a stunt-heavy, seven-minute video, which sees the rapper perform martial arts, fend off pursuants with a fish, and attempt to scope out John Malkovich in a mysterious spoken interlude. It’s available as an Apple Music exclusive–head there to watch it.

As well as “Phenomenal”, Eminem contributes two songs to the Southpaw soundtrack as part of Bad Meets Evil, his collaboration with Royce Da 5’9″, plus one with Gwen Stefani, “Kings Never Die”. Listen to the latter below. Update: The stream has been taken down.

The soundtrack and movie are both out July 24. Eminem’s Shady Records will release the album in conjunction with Interscope.
