Reissue of the 2004 rap meets nu-metal mash-up EP.
Collision Course is a collaborative EP from American rapper Jay-Z and rock band Linkin Park, originally released on November 30, 2004, by Roc-A-Fella, Machine Shop, Warner Bros. and Def Jam.
The album was inspired by The Grey Album by Danger Mouse, which was a mash-up album between Jay-Z and The Beatles. MTV had originally planned on mashing up only one or two songs, but the project was eventually expanded to a six-song album. The production on the album was mostly handled by Mike Shinoda and Jay-Z, and it was recorded between July 16 and July 19. The album spawned one single, "Numb/Encore" which won Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 48th Grammy Awards.
