Greg WilliamsEd Sheeran is a massive Eminem fan, and has also said that rapping along with Eminem helped him stop stuttering as a child.  Now, Ed’s come full circle: he’s featured on Eminem’s new album, Revival.

Em tweeted the track list for the new record, and it includes a song “River” that features Ed.  Among the other stars featured on the record: Pink, Alicia Keys, X Ambassadors and, of course, Skylar Grey. 

Eminem also appears on Pink’s new album, on the song “Revenge.”  Beyoncé appears on Revival’s first single, “Walk on Water.”  The album will be out December 15.

At an an awards ceremony in 2015, Ed Sheeran said of Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP, “I learned every word of it back to front by the time I was 10. And he raps very fast and very melodically and very percussively and it helped me get rid of the stutter.”
