AceShowbiz - Eminem has dropped a disturbing trailer announcing the release date of his upcoming album "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace)". The LP will arrive on July 12, marking the rapper's first full-length project since 2020's "Music to Be Murdered By".
The trailer opens with a woman giving birth, a seemingly ordinary event that quickly turns sinister. As the doctor delivers the baby, it remains lifeless until the doctor administers a few slaps, bringing it to consciousness. However, the scene becomes terrifying when the baby's eyes open wide and reveal pitch-black pupils. Moments later, a pair of horns erupts from its head, and its tongue slithers as everyone in the room gasps in horror.
The trailer concludes with the album title and release date appearing in graffiti on a colorful background. The "Holy s**t!" exclamations featured in the trailer echo the lyrics of Eminem's lead single from the album, "Houdini", on which he raps about a "little baby devil with the forked tongue and it's stickin' out."
Eminem teased the album with the release of "Houdini" in May, which became his highest-charting Hot 100 hit of the decade, debuting at No. 2. The album's second single "Tobey" featuring Big Sean and Babytron is set for release on July 3.
The lead-up to "The Death of Slim Shady" has been met with a mix of excitement and intrigue. In April, Eminem unveiled the album title and released a mockumentary-style trailer featuring a mock obituary for his alter ego Slim Shady. Dr. Dre confirmed that he contributed to the project, raising anticipation among fans.
Eminem's upcoming album promises to be an enthralling and potentially disturbing exploration of his legendary alter ego's demise. The horrifying trailer and the forthcoming singles hint at a project that will push the boundaries of hip-hop and challenge listeners to confront their own inner demons.
