"Fast Lane" is the lead single by hip hop duo Bad Meets Evil, a group composed of Royce da 5'9" and Eminem, from their first EP Hell: The Sequel.

The single was produced by Eminem, Supa Dups, and Jason "JG" Gilbert, and released on May 3, 2011 by Shady Records.

The music video features animated visuals and kinetic typography, with cameo appearances by Mr. Porter and Slaughterhouse.

[5] In late 2010, Eminem and Royce da 5'9" began collaborating as Bad Meets Evil after 11 years of inactivity within the group.

[6] "Fast Lane" was released as the lead single for their then-upcoming extended play, titled Hell: The Sequel.

[9] According to Supa Dups, he was asked to make a beat with JG, without knowing it was for Bad Meets Evil.

Upon the release on the EP, Hell: The Sequel, Billboard editor Jason Lipshutz published a track-by-track review.

According to Lipshutz, "Fast Lane" is "G-funk on steroids, with sing-song refrain breaking up crushing mic-trading bout between Royce da 5'9" and Eminem.

According to Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone, "Eminem kicks 'Fast Lane' 1999-style, reconnecting with the hungry young lunatic who sounded like he only had a stanza to blow us away or it was back to the auto plant.

According to Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly, Royce da 5'9" performs extremely well on the "hard-hitting" song, even calling him a "lyrical beast".

[14] Although music website Consequence of Sound gave a rather mixed review on the EP as a whole, editor Winston Robbins favored "Fast Lane" and said that it is "hands down one of the best hip-hop tracks of 2011" and that the rapping is "second to none".

The video premiered on June 8, 2011, at noon EST on VEVO and Bad Meets Evil's official website.

Notable scenes include a cartoon blonde girl who gets 'drowned' by Eminem, inside a fish-bowl and then decapitated.

Another scene includes Bad Meets Evil riding a green animated car, crashing into several obstacles, during the chorus.

[21] Eminem and Royce da 5'9" made their debut live performance as Bad Meets Evil for "Fast Lane" and "Lighters" at the 2011 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival.

[31] The song was featured in the Final Fantasy XV trailer "Ride Together' Credits adapted from Hell: The Sequel album digital booklet.
