    Eminem Drops Second Single Ahead of New Album Dropping Friday

    Famous Detroit battle rapper, Eminem dropped his second single ‘Tobey’ on July 2nd, with a music video on July 5th. The single is the second and last single dropped ahead of Eminem’s new album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), which is set to drop July 12th, 2024.

    ‘Tobey’ features fellow Detroit Rappers BabyTron and Big Sean. The song title pays homage to the American actor Tobey Maguire, who played Peter Parker in the early 2000s Spider-Man trilogy and later in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His character would go on to serve as the mentoring figure to two generations of other Spider-Men in the movie Spider-Man: No Way Home, similar to Eminem’s relationship with Big Sean and BabyTron.

    Fun theory: Both Big Sean and BabyTron were seen in the recent Lyrical Lemonade “Doomsday, Pt. 2” music video which many think preludes the feature list for Eminem’s new album. The video also featured Denzel Curry, Teezo Touchdown, JID, Swae Lee, Cordae. The video, which was directed by Cole Bennett, also has producer credits and directed the music video for ‘Tobey’.

    The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)

    The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) was announced back in April 2024, when a teaser trailer for the album broadcasted during the NFL Draft in Detroit. The trailer revealed the title of the new album alongside a release date , “Summer 2024.”

    Teaser Trailer for Eminem’s upcoming album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)

    On May 28, 2024, Eminem posted a video to his Instagram of him on a FaceTime call with magician David Blaine. At the end of the video, Eminem announced the release of lead single from the album would drop on May 31st called “Houdini”. Eminem ended the video stating “for my last trick, I’m gonna make my career disappear,” hinting at The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) being his final studio album.

    “Coup de grâce” is a French term for “finishing blow” or more literally, “stroke of grace”. It refers to the final deadly blow delivered to one’s victim, typically a merciful act. This may hint that this album, may be the possible end of Eminem’s music career, and or the end of his alter ego Slim Shady.

    The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) is set to drop at Midnight ET Friday July 12th.

    Joyner describes Eminem’s elusiveness

    Joyner Lucas is marvelled by how evasive Eminem is within the industry. During an appearance on The Breakfast Club, the Massachusetts native explained how difficult it is to get to Slim Shady due to his buttoned-up character.

    “Getting on the phone with him, you can probably hop on the phone quicker with Barack [Obama] than you can hop on the phone with Marshall,” Joyner said. “That n-gga’s calling you from a line with his manager’s assistant who is calling you from a 1800 number and it’s like elevator music and, ‘Please hold, Marshall’s coming to the phone.’”

    He added, “You can’t have his number. Nobody has his number. He’s not accessible. You can’t talk to him. It’s like hopping on the phone with the president.”
