“Use This Gospel” is a spiritual track, which originally appeared on Kanye West 2019’s album “Jesus is King“. The original version featured Clipse, the duo of Pusha T and No Malice. Kenny G also assisted with a solo Saxophone cameo.
This is Kanye West and Eminem’s second ever collaboration, the first being “Forever” by Drake, which also featured Lil Wayne and dropped back in 2009.
Produced mostly by the renowned Dr. Dre and his group, known as The ICU, after they spent some time in the critical care unit at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in January 2021 after Dre suffered from a brain aneurysm. It’s a remix of the Kanye West song “Use This Gospel” from his JESUS IS KING album, which was released in October 2019.

While Ye’s chorus from the actual song is retained, Eminem adds a verse that is more explicitly religious to the tune. A brief clip with Eminem’s verse and Dr. Dre’s new production appeared online around November 2021. The song was added to the project in January 2022 after DJ Khaled hinted Ye’s inclusion on GOD DID by posting many images of the two of them in his studio.
