D12 Preview Unheard Proof Verse For Their Upcoming “D12 Forever” Album

D12 is officially back. Core members Swifty McVay and Kuniva have announced their new studio album, titled D12 Forever, marking a major return for the group. To kick off the rollout, the duo confirmed that the first single will feature heavyweights Xzibit and B-Real, bridging the gap between Detroit’s gritty lyricism and West Coast hip-hop royalty.

The most emotional highlight of the announcement is the inclusion of the late Proof, the group’s co-founder and spiritual heart. The album is set to feature previously unreleased recordings, ensuring his presence is felt on this new chapter. The group shared their excitement on Instagram, stating:

“New music from Proof will shine on the D12 Forever album, releasing in June. As we remember him today, his voice resonates powerfully within the D12 legacy. Proof’s spirit, his words, and his impact will remain eternal. Forever Big Proof. Forever D12.”

This project looks to recapture the raw, competitive energy that defined the group’s early years. While the full tracklist remains under wraps, the involvement of longtime collaborators suggests a return to the classic sound that fans have been anticipating for years. And who knows, we might see Eminem too.
