- July 9, 2024
AceShowbiz - Fans of Eminem have been holding their breath ever since the announcement of his latest album, "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace)", slated for release on July 12. The anticipation skyrocketed when X user @SyrianAlmond shared a screenshot on July 6, suggesting that Apple Music had accidentally revealed the album's tracklist early.
The supposed slip-up allowed fans to get a glimpse of some major features, including hip-hop heavyweights such as J. Cole, JID, Black Thought, Tech N9ne, Ez Mil and Royce Da 5'9". Surprisingly, pop sensation Billie Eilish is also listed on one track, while music mogulsDr. Dre and 50 Cent appear on another. However, it's worth noting that Eminem himself has not confirmed the authenticity of the tracklist, leaving room for speculation until the official release.
Beyond the album, the music video for the track "Tobey", featuring fellow Detroit artists Big Sean and BabyTron, is anticipated to drop tomorrow, July 8, after facing unexpected delays. Directed by the acclaimed Cole Bennett, this video adds another layer of excitement for fans eagerly awaiting new content.
The buzz around this album isn't only due to the features but also the dramatic way it was announced. On July 1, Eminem shared a demonic teaser via X, taking fans into the twisted world of the fictional Pompsomp Hills Hospital where a woman gives birth to a demon baby. This dark, enigmatic teaser captured the origin of Marshall Mathers' notorious alter ego, Slim Shady. Eminem captioned the clip, "OH SH*T!!! THE DEATH OF SLIM SHADY (COUP DE GRACE) 7/12!!!"
