Listen to Eminem’s new album “The Death of Slim Shady” here

Shady is officially back!

After piqued his fans’ curiosity with two singles, “Houdini” and “Tobey,” Eminem released his latest album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace),” on Friday.

This is the Detroit legend’s first album since 2020’s Music To Be Murdered By, and just listening to the singles that came before the album, it seems like Eminem is embracing the musical style that made him a household name over 20 years ago.

The entire record is a bit of a concept album. Eminem seems to be wrestling with his alter ego Slim Shady and trying to bury that side of him once and for all.

This idea is evident in the interlude “Breaking News” and the following song “Guilty Conscious 2”. It’s a sort of wink to himself and a conversation between Eminem and Slim Shady. It’s truly one of his most creative works.

The “Breaking News” sketch also features WDIV anchors Devin Scillian and Kimberly Gill, which is a real surprise and a fun little treat.

The album is quite long, but it seems to be Eminem’s most honest work in a while. He’s used to pissing people off with his super-fast lyrics and his views on American culture, so it will be interesting to see how it goes over.
