Collision Course is a collaborative album by rapper Jay-Z and rock band Linkin Park. It was released on 30 November 2004 and reached number one on the Billboard 200 chart. In August 2009, sales of the album reached 1,934,000 copies in the United States alone. Approximately five million copies have been sold worldwide.
‘Collision Course’ contains six tracks and is labelled as an EP. All tracks on the album are presented in the mashup genre.

Video clips for both tracks, as well as the ‘Jigga What/Faint’ music video, were featured on Kerrang! TV in the UK.

In fact, it is the second mini-album in history (after 1994's “Jar of Flies” by Alice in Chains) to reach the Billboard Hot 200.

The intention to record a mashup album with Jay-Z was voiced by Mike Shinoda during the 2004 Grammy Awards.

During the mixing of the album, communication between Shinoda and Jay-Z was maintained via email. According to Mike, they wanted to rework and rewrite some parts of the songs to improve the sound. Shinoda suggested that his bandmates re-record the instrumental versions and vocals of the tracks present on the mashup, and eventually both parties (both Jay-Z and Linkin Park) decided to redo and release the re-recorded tracks.

A year after the release of ‘Collision Course’, Jay-Z became executive producer for Mike Shinoda's s
