On Friday (July 12), Eminem officially returned with the release of his 12th studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coupe de Grâce). The 19-track project features guest appearances from JID, Big Sean and BabyTron, as well as includes a sequel to the 1999 song “Guilty Conscience.”
The album was previously teased by the lead single “Houdini,” which dropped on May 31 to serious fanfare because of it’s vintage Eminem sound. Slim also dropped off a hilarious music video to compliment the single, which was produced by Luis Resto and Em himself. The song samples Steve Miller Band’s 1982 hit “Abracadabra,” and appears on the project at track 11. The recently released song “Tobey” featuring Big Sean and BabyTron is also on the LP.
On Thursday (July 11), Em jumped on X, formerly known as Twitter, to give fans a tip on listening to The Death of Slim Shady (Coupe de Grâce). In the tweet below, the Grammy Award-winning lyricist told his followers that his project was a concept album and implored them to listen to the songs in order of the tracklist, which can be viewed below.
“Public service announcement: the ‘death of slim shady’ is a conceptual album,” Eminem typed. “Therefore, if you listen to songs out of order they might not make sense. Enjoy.”
