The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) is the upcoming twelfth studio album by American rapper Eminem. It is set to be released in summer of 2024, through Shady Records, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records.

Background[edit]

Eminem released his eleventh studio album Music to Be Murdered By on January 17, 2020, to highly commercial success, as well as a deluxe edition on December 18 of that same year, called Music to Be Murdered By – Side B.[1] On August 5, 2022, the rapper released the compilation Curtain Call 2, a continuation to his 2005 greatest hits album Curtain Call: The Hits.[2] A return of Slim Shady was first teased on New Year's Day 2023 with no further details.[3] In an interview with DJ Whoo Kid for Shade 45 in January 2024, Eminem stated that he was "working on a little something".[4] He also shut down rumors about a possible 50 Cent joint album, even though he liked the idea of it.[5] On March 19, 2024, long-time producer and collaborator Dr. Dre, while on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, revealed that Eminem was working on his next studio album and that it would be releasing in 2024.[6]

On April 26, 2024, during the 2024 NFL draft event in his hometown Detroit,[7] the rapper shared a video in the style of real crime show Unsolved Mysteries that poses the question "who killed Slim Shady?", referring to the rapper's alter ego.[8] A reporter dressed in a trenchcoat lists the enemies Shady has made over the years with rapper 50 Cent commenting on the persona.[9] The teaser also incorporated clips of "My Name Is" (1999), "Without Me" (2002) and "The Real Slim Shady" (2000).[10] The album and tentative release date were announced at the end of the 56-second long video, along with the opportunity to pre-save the record.[11]
