Music - Scary video: Eminem announces "The Death of Slim Shady"
US-Rapper Eminem ("Lose Yourself") lets fans know with a scary video and the words "OH SH*T!!!" and a skull emoji that his new album "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)" will be released on July 12. In his social media, he posted a video clip of a scene reminiscent of a horror film.
In the video, a woman gives birth in a hospital while it storms and thunders outside. When the newborn baby opens its black eyes, it smiles devilishly, sticks out a forked tongue, and horns grow from its forehead.
The singer had previously announced the release of "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)" for the summer but without specifying a concrete date. Accompanying the post was a video in the style of a true crime show reporting on the death of Slim Shady, a character long considered an alter ego of the 51-year-old musician. At the end of May, the single "Houdini" was released.
The Detroit-born star rapper, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, last released the successful album "Music To Be Murdered By" at the beginning of 2020. "The Death of Slim Shady" is his twelfth studio album.
