Shady is back, back again. Eminem has announced the release date of his 12th studio album, The death of Slim Shady (coup de grace).

The LP is out July 12th, and Em made the announcement on Monday (July 1st) in Slim Shady style with a terrifying trailer featuring the birth of a demon baby.

“OH SHIT!!! THE DEATH OF SLIM SHADY (COUP DE GRÂCE) 7/12,” ​​Eminem captioned the clip.

The terrifying trailer shows a woman giving birth to a baby. It’s a scary situation where the baby isn’t breathing until the doctor wakes it up with a few slaps.

However, they realize that they are not on the safe side and are dealing with a different kind of creature when the baby opens its eyes and they are completely black.

The audience is shocked when the newborn sticks out his tongue and grows a pair of horns while everyone in the room shouts “Holy shit!” “Houdini” provides the soundtrack in the outro and the album name and release date are officially announced.

“I haven’t felt this much excitement for an album in a long time,” one fan responded to X.

The first half of July is a busy one for Eminem. On Wednesday (July 3) he will release a second single, “Tobey,” and the follow-up to “Houdini,” which also features fellow Detroiters Big Sean and Babytron. A Cole Bennett-directed visual for the Tobey Maguire-inspired song will be released on Friday (July 5).

“Houdini” proved to be a chart success for Eminem, as the first single gave him his most successful Hot 100 hit of the decade, peaking at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
