Just a few weeks ago, Eminem began to post several cryptic messages to his fans on social networks. In those messages, it seemed that he was referring to what will be his twelfth album, which will be titled ‘The Death of Slim Shady’.
The title references his alter ego, something he is appearing to say goodbye to. Here we run you through everything we know about the new album.
One of the biggest bits of news is that one of the album’s singles, ‘Houdini’, will be released next Friday, May 31. Eminem himself revealed it, and he also did it with a message that worried his fans. The message has quickly gone viral.
“For my last magic trick, I’ll make my career disappear,” is one of the few phrases Eminem utters in a montage on his social networks, featuring alongside magician David Blane. Many people have interpreted this as an announcement that this new album will be the last of his career.
When is Eminem’s new album coming out?
We don’t yet know the date of the album’s release, but Eminem’s fans will get the opportunity to continue enjoying his music and his incredible rhymes with ‘The Death of Slim Shady’. Billboard report that the album will be released at some point this summer.
Little is known about the list of songs that will make up this new album. The rapper likes to surprise and you only need to look at his previous album as proof of that.
He released his last album without any prior notice in 2018. What is known is that Dr. Dre will be a collaborator on the album, something Eminem has confirmed himself. Rumors have suggested that Snoop Dogg and others could also feature.
