Eminem has been making some boss moves lately and he´s bringing someone special along for his latest venture.

Vibe magazine reports that the Detroit ¨Rap God¨ has teamed up with legendary film maker Spike Lee for the visuals for "Headlights."

On Saturday, April 5, Eminem tweeted, "Spike came out to The D for the 'Headlights' video... Coming soon."

The footage was shot in Detroit. Em and Lee both posted photos on set of the new video.

Lee referred to the video as a ¨short film.¨

He sent out a tweet saying, ¨Detroit's Finest EMINEM And Me Working Together On His Short a Film.Historic. Who Woulda Thunk It.¨

¨Headlights¨ is indeed a track worthy of a short film. Throughout the track, Em is apologetic to his mother and expresses regret of their severed relationship.
