Eminem fans have been waiting, somewhat patiently, for him to drop his new album and we finally know when it's coming!
While he's teased fans over and over about new music, including releasing new merch and his April Fool's joke where he re-released an old song, yesterday he announced that "The Death of Slim Shady" will be released this Summer.
Marshall's alter ego, Slim Shady, is a major part of why fans fell in love with Eminem when he first arrived on the scene but this could be the last time we see or hear from him. At least that's the feeling that we're all getting with the title of the album.
Dr. Dre told us that Em had a new album coming when he made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live -
“Let me tell you something, let me explain something to you right now: Eminem is working on his own album which is coming out this year,”
He added -
“And I actually talked to him and he said it okay for me to make that announcement right here on this show. So he has an album coming out, I’ve got songs on it and it’s fire. I’m actually gonna hear the entire album for the first time for tomorrow.”
That caused a bit of a stir with fans but let's not kid around here, it was pretty vague. Letting us know that it was coming out "this year" leaves a whole lot to the imagination. So with the announcement from Eminem yesterday, we can at least narrow it down to this Summer. Sure we don't know the exact date but that's okay.
