AceShowbiz - After being previewed in a trailer for "Southpaw" back in March and in a Beats by Dre ad last month, Eminem's "Phenomenal" is finally available in its entirety. The song, which will appear on the soundtrack of Jake Gyllenhaal's upcoming movie "Southpaw", was released on iTunes on Monday night, May 1.
Produced by DJ Khalil, the track features Em spitting empowering bars about going through difficulties in life and dealing with naysayers. "Let me self-empower you/ When you're down and they're tryin' to clown the fuck out of you/ When you feel like you're runnin' out of fuel/ I'll show you how to use doubt as fuel/ Convert it to gunpowder too," he raps.
"Phenomenal" is the first single off the "Southpaw" soundtrack which is executive produced by Em and is set to be released this July through his Shady Records/Interscope Records.
The film, meanwhile, is coming to U.S. theaters on July 24. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, it centers on a boxer (Gyllenhaal) on a downward spiral who's trying to rebuild his career and regain custody of his young daughter after a tragedy.
