AceShowbiz - Eminem fans have plenty to celebrate this Independence Day, with the iconic rapper announcing the release of his latest single, "Tobey", on July 2. The track serves as the second single from his highly anticipated twelfth studio album, "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace)", following the success of "Houdini". "Tobey" promises a star-studded collaboration featuring Detroit's own Big Sean and Babytron, bridging generational gaps within the Motor City's hip-hop scene.
The excitement began on June 28 when Eminem released a spine-chilling trailer for "Tobey" on his social media accounts. The teaser captures Eminem donning a Jason Voorhees-style goalie mask, revving a chainsaw, and slicing up a body while covered in gushing blood. Fans were introduced to the ominous vibe of the track, accompanied by a ticking beat and a sneak peek of Big Sean's verse. "Tobey Maguire got bit by a Spider, but me, see it was a goat," Sean raps in a reference to the iconic “Spider-Man†star.
The single will hit streaming services on July 2, with a Cole Bennett-directed music video set to premiere on July 5. Bennett, known for his visually striking music videos, adds an extra layer of anticipation among fans eager to see how the gruesome theme will be brought to life on screen. Viewers can expect a menacing display, with Babytron and Big Sean watching Eminem's butchery unfold without batting an eye.
"Tobey" marks Eminem's first collaboration with Babytron and his fourth with Big Sean. Their previous joint efforts include the tracks "No Favors" on Big Sean's "I Decided", "Friday Night Cypher" in "Detroit 2" and "Detroit Vs. Everybody" in Eminem's "ShadyXV". With such a powerful lineup, the new single is poised to capture the attention of hip-hop enthusiasts worldwide.
