“Dead End Road” debuted on Thursday, July 18, as part of “Twisters: The Album,” which is currently available for streaming. The soundtrack features a star-studded lineup including Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, and Lainey Wilson, among others, each contributing tracks that resonate with the film’s atmospheric drama.

The anticipation for this upcoming release has been amplified with teasers shared by both artists on social media.
Recently, Jelly Roll also expressed profound gratitude for Eminem sampling his song “Save Me” on Eminem’s latest album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce).” In an Instagram post, Jelly Roll reflected on the profound impact of Eminem’s music on his life and career, describing the emotional moment when he learned about the collaboration.
