Eminem’s new album: date, when it’s released and songs from ‘The Death of Slim Shady’
The Death of Slim Shady announced last month
In April, Eminem appeared to announce his intention to use his new album, which will be his first since 2020′s Music to be Murdered By, to kill off his long-time alter ego, Slim Shady. Confirming that the record will be called The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace), the 15-time Grammy winner released a teaser video filmed in the style of the popular true crime docuseries Unsolved Mysteries.
In the trailer, the host of the mock TV show, Detroit Murder Files, tells viewers: “Through his complex and oft-criticised, tongue-twisting rhymes, the blond anti-hero known as Slim Shady has had no shortage of enemies. The same rude lyrics and controversial antics may have ultimately led to his demise. Join me as we recreate the events that led to the murder of Slim Shady.”
Detroit Murder Files features an interview with Eminem’s fellow rapper 50 Cent, who describes Slim Shady as “a psychopath”.
Eminem, who grew up in a suburb of the Michigan city, also published an obituary for Slim Shady in a local Detroit newspaper earlier this month. “May he truly find the peace in an afterlife that he could not find on Earth,” reads the piece, which also refers to the rapper’s alter ego enduring “a sudden and horrific end”.
