Eminem has revealed that his upcoming 12th studio album, titled “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace),” is set to release this summer. Making an appearance during the NFL Draft in Detroit tonight, Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, also dropped a teaser trailer on social media. The trailer features a crime reporter discussing the demise of Eminem’s alter ego, Slim Shady.
When Is Eminem Releasing His New Album?
Slim Shady, introduced in 1997 with the Slim Shady EP followed by The Slim Shady LP in 1999, has been a significant persona for Eminem. A cameo by 50 Cent is included in the clip, where he remarks, “He’s not a friend, he’s a psychopath.”
The reporter goes on to speculate that Slim Shady’s provocative lyrics and controversial behavior may have played a role in his demise. The trailer concludes with Eminem himself appearing, expressing, “I knew it was only a matter of time for Slim.”

The new album sounds like a whodunnit crime storytelling album, a little goofy, where Eminem once again eviscerates himself for all his past sins. Honestly you can’t get any more Eminem than that #TheDeathofSlimShady
