Eminem announced a deluxe edition of his latest album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) on September 10th.
The Alchemist, Eminem’s longtime DJ, appeared in a teaser video for the “Expanded Mourner’s Edition.” The vignette shows Eminem walking into a convenience store with his song “Somebody Save Me” playing in the background. He grabs a milk carton and drops it on the floor. The box displays a missing person ad for Slim Shady. Eminem released the original version of The Death of Slim Shady in July. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. It sold 281,000 equivalent album units in its first week.
The Death of Slim Shady featured “Somebody Save Me,” a song in which Eminem imagined an alternate reality where he never overcame his drug addiction. His daughter Hailie discussed how the track’s music video affected her on the Just a Little Shady podcast in August.
