Eminem, the rap legend, is making a comeback with a new album titled “The Death of Slim Shady,” set to be released this summer. The first single from the album, “Houdini,” was dropped at midnight on Friday, giving fans a taste of what’s to come.
In the track, Eminem showcases his signature witty and provocative lyrics, taking shots at his past self and even throwing shade at fellow artists. The song features a catchy melody from the Steve Miller Band’s “Abracadabra,” with a hint of his classic hit “Without Me.”
The announcement of the album was made in a unique way, with Eminem teasing fans during the NFL draft in April with a video styled as an episode of “Unsolved Mysteries.” The video asked, “Who killed Slim Shady?” hinting at the demise of his alter ego.
To add to the intrigue, a faux obituary for Slim Shady was published in the Detroit Free Press, painting a picture of a troubled character whose legacy remains unresolved. The obituary closes with a cryptic message about the character’s sudden and horrific end.
Fans can expect more of Eminem’s trademark storytelling and lyrical prowess in “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),” which is sure to make waves in the music industry this summer. Stay tuned for more updates on Eminem’s highly anticipated album release.
