Eminem has released his first new album since 2020, titled The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). The album features 19 tracks, starting with “Renaissance” and ending with “Somebody Save Me”.

“The Death of Slim Shady is a conceptual album, therefore, if you listen to songs out of order they might not make sense,” he shared on social media. Eminem has been teasing the release with trailers for some time now. Reality star Joey Sasso commented on the trailer, praising the album’s concept and Eminem’s lyrical prowess. Eminem previously released the tracks “Tobey” (featuring Big Sean and Baby Tron) and “Houdini” from the album.
