Eminem has announced the release of his latest album “The Death of Slim Shady” (Coup De Grace) on social media after a brief appearance at the NFL Draft.
This will be his twelfth studio album went before by “Music To Be Murdered By” released in January 2020.
The new album will be out in the summer of 2024. Shortly after his NFL cameo, an album trailer is available online. It shows a true crime reporter discussing the murder of Eminem’s titular alter-ego Slim Shady.
The anti-hero Slim Shady has faced a lot of opposition thanks to the intricate, frequently criticized, and tongue-twisting rhymes that he writes.
Eminem’s longtime friend and associate 50 Cent makes a cameo appearance in the 30-second trailer. He’s not a companion, he’s a psychopath,” he states in the video.
“I knew it was only a matter of time for Slim,” the 51-year-old legendary rapper himself remarks on the fictional murder case during a brief appearance.
Eminem created Slim Shady back in 1997 during his debut with the Slim Shady EP followed by The Slim Shady LP. The lack of success of Infinite inspired him to develop the infamous criminal alter ego, Slim Shady. This character is associated with tremendous violence and aggression, thereby marking him as a controversial artist right from the beginning of his career.
As stated in the lyrics of one of his songs, Criminal, “A lot of people think that what I say on a record or what I talk about on a record, that I actually do in real life or that I believe in it. Or if I say that I wanna kill somebody that I’m actually gonna do it or that I believe in it”
The rapper’s past collection Music to Be Killed By (Side An and Side B) was an unexpected drop. Horrorcore as its key topic, he was intensely motivated by Alfred Hitchcock during the creation of that collection.

Nonetheless, the specific date for the release of Eminem’s new album hasn’t been announced at this point.
