Eminem Unveils Upcoming Album ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)’

Fresh off his cameo appearance at the NFL Draft, Eminem makes a definitive statement, officially unveiling his 12th studio album in a teaser titled “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).” The announcement follows Dr. Dre‘s confirmation last month that a new Eminem album is slated for release later this year.

The teaser, released online shortly after Eminem’s NFL stint, offers a glimpse into the album’s theme with a satirical take on the demise of Eminem’s iconic alter ego, Slim Shady. In the brief clip, a mock true crime reporter discusses the controversial rapper’s notorious persona, suggesting a symbolic murder. Notable figures such as 50 Cent make appearances, adding to the intrigue surrounding the project.

Eminem, known for his complex lyricism and provocative persona, has long utilized Slim Shady as a creative outlet since 1997. From the Slim Shady EP to The Slim Shady LP, the character has been central to some of Eminem’s most impactful tracks.

With anticipation building, fans can catch a glimpse of what’s to come in the teaser below. “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)” is set to drop this summer, promising a new chapter in Eminem’s storied career.
