911

911 is a song by Gorillaz and rap group D12 featuring singler and musician Terry Hall recorded on 2001 in West London after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York City and released as a single on the same year.

Recording and Information
911 was recorded during a pre-arranged session with D12, who were over for a tour (without Eminem) to promote their album 'Devil's Night' in September 2001. Terry Hall was also invited to the session. The session fell on the day following 9/11 and you can hear this in the lyrical direction the song took. The song was released as an exclusive download on Gorillaz.com and on the D12 website D12World.com, complete with downloadable high-res artwork and a short promotional flash movie (about 30 seconds of the song) and on a few promo CDs. The download would eventually be removed from both sites. An edited version of 911 would eventually be made available almost a year later on the 'Bad Company' soundtrack. The track is credited to 'Gorillaz and D12 featuring Terry Hall'.

It was later re-released with the name "London" on D12 member Bizarre's compilation album "DJ Smokey Gray Presents Compilation Album Volume 4", with a few minor differentes to the original song, on the 5th of May 2016.

The song has only been performed live twice, at the New York City Hammerstein Ballroom concert of Gorillaz Live in 2002 (later released as a Spotify-exclusive minor single for the We Are Ten Radio Show in 2011 with the name '911 (Live in NYC)' and with hip hop group Phi-Life Cypher, at the Isle of MTV Festival in Lisbon, Portugal, also in 2002.
