After years of playing on the fringes of the Hip-Hop game, Eminem looks set to return with a brand new album, but judging by its title, this might be the last time the rap icon releases an LP in his illustrious career.
Yesterday (April 25), Eminem withdrew from the NFL Draft held in his hometown of Detroit. While there, he took the time to announce the news that he would be releasing his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady, this summer. To get the album buzzing, a trailer for the project was released, featuring clips from some of Em's most popular songs released over the past two decades. (Feeling old already?)
Playing from Unsolved Mysteries, the trailer asks the question “who killed Slim Shady” and comically features a cameo from 50 Cent who says, “He's not a friend. He's a psychopath.”
While no new songs were showcased in the trailer to give us an idea of what the album would sound like, it's a pretty safe bet that fans will be tuning in regardless as this man has had a loyal following since he entered the game in 1999.
