Here’s Everything We Know About Eminem’s ‘The Death of Slim Shady’ Album

Shady’s back, back again. Eminem is in album mode and his The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) is slated to arrive this summer.

The Detroit icon has cryptically dropped easter eggs and hints about the project while many details in regards to possible features and a concrete release date have remained under wraps. Eminem officially announced the project following his appearance at the NFL Draft in April in support of his hometown Detroit Lions.

The album announcement came in the form of an Unsolved Mysteries episode featuring Em meeting his demise in search of “who killed Slim Shady?”

The Death Of Slim Shady will serve as the rapper’s 12th studio album, and first since 2020’s Music to Be Murdered By, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 to give Eminem his historic 10th consecutive leader.

Em has been no stranger to the element of surprise as he dropped his 2018 Kamikaze album out of the sky without any sort of warning for fans, which also topped the charts. He’s been laying low on the music front and is yet to drop off any new tunes in 2024, so the lead single — if there is one — will be his first offering of the year.

Fittingly enough, Dr. Dre was the first to spill the beans about the project when he revealed that Eminem had an album ready in the stash during his first late-night TV appearance in 30 years back in March.
