Eminem Return This Summer with New Album "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)"

Eminem has announced his twelfth studio album “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace)”, will be released this summer. 

Shortly before making an appearance at the NFL Draft, A trailer for the album hit the internet showing a true crime reporter discussing the death of Eminem’s alter ego, Slim Shady. 

“Through his complex and oft-criticized, tongue-twisting rhymes, the anti-hero known as Slim Shady has had no shortage of enemies,” he said in the video.

Eminem’s longtime associate 50 Cent is then shown in a cameo, stating: “He’s not a friend, he’s a psychopath,”. 

The reporter continues, “The same rude lyrics and controversial antics may have ultimately led to his demise. Join me as we recreate the events that led to the murder of Slim Shady.” Eminem himself makes an appearance, stating, “I knew it was only a matter of time for Slim.” 

The rapper released his last album, “Music to Be Murdered By,” in January 2020, which was an instant success.

Slim Shady has long been an alter ego for Eminem, dating back to 1997’s “Slim Shady EP” and “The Slim Shady LP,” which arrived two years later. The character has often been one he’s assumed to deliver the more aggressive and violent lyrics that branded him as a controversial rapper from the start of his career. 

He assumed the alter ego on songs including “Guilty Conscience”, “’97 Bonnie and Clyde” and, “Kill You.”
