“From The D 2 The LBC” is a single from Detroit legend Eminem and fellow Dr. Dre protege, Snoop Dogg. The song’s title pays homage to the two rapper’s respective cities, Detroit, Michigan, and Long Beach, California. It was previewed hours before the release at Ape Fest 2022, with the two showing off the music video onstage.

The song follows a year-old rekindling of their decades-long friendship, after previous beef in 2020, spawning from Snoop’s top ten all-time rappers list not including Em. While the list itself didn’t offend Eminem, the downplay and wording of Snoop’s remarks about him were the real catalyst for the beef. The comments even spawned a few lines from the Detroit native in his December 2020 track, “Zeus,” where he rapped:

And, as far as squashin' beef, I’m used to people knockin' me
But, just not in my camp
And diplomatic as I’m tryna be
Last thing I need is Snoop doggin' me
Man, Dogg, you was like a (Yeah) damn god to me
Nah, not really (Haha)
I had “dog” backwards
