"Stepping Stone" is a song by American rapper Eminem from his album Kamikaze (2018). [2] [3] It charted in Australia, Canada, Sweden, and the US.
"Stepping Stone" describes the fallout of D12, a rap group of which Eminem was formerly a part of. He also uses the song to confirm that the group has been disbanded and will no longer be continuing due to the death of Proof. [4]
In a review of Kamikaze for The Guardian , Alexis Petridis referred to "Stepping Stone" as "a thoughtful examination of the collapse of [Eminem's] group D12". [5] Trent Clark of HipHopDX likewise noted "ruminative wordplay". [6] Reviewing the album for Pitchfork , Marc Hogan deemed the song "a maudlin tribute to [Eminem's] former group D12". [7]
