Eminem has announced his upcoming album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce). The album is set to hit the shelves this summer, marking the highly anticipated return of the artist.
The news broke out following a teaser trailer that was released after Eminem’s appearance at the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit.
The trailer, intriguingly designed as a true crime show, delves into the controversial life of Eminem’s alter ego, Slim Shady. Known for his complex rhymes and often criticized for his provocative lyrics, Slim Shady has been a figure of controversy and intrigue.
The trailer features a cameo from 50 Cent, who describes Slim Shady as a psychopath, not a friend. The narrative suggests that Slim Shady’s controversial antics and rude lyrics may have led to his downfall.
The trailer ends with a blurred image of Eminem, hinting at the demise of his alter ego. 50 Cent shared the trailer on his Instagram, tagging Dr. Dre and hinting at the heat the new album is expected to bring.
