Marshall has finally announced the release date for his next album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).
The diamond-selling rapper revealed the project, his official follow-up to 2020’s Music to be Murdered By, will arrive on July 12th. Eminem announced The Death of Slim Shady in April. The album marks a dramatic shift as Eminem seems to be putting his infamous alter ego, Slim Shady, to rest. The announcement came with a crime-show-themed teaser trailer, which explores Slim Shady’s demise. The clip also starred 50 Cent, who expresses his apprehension about the character’s chaotic nature.
The album’s promotional materials suggest a retrospective and final farewell to the Slim Shady persona, which Eminem used to channel his more controversial and provocative thoughts. Fans can anticipate a blend of introspection and classic Eminem bravado, as he reconciles with his past through this symbolic ‘death’ of his alter ego. Dr. Dre is also set to make an appearance, adding to the anticipation surrounding the project.
