Last night, Eminem announced his new album title The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace), by way of a true crime-themed trailer. It aired during the 2024 NFL Draft, which took place in Slim Shady’s hometown of Detroit. The trailer displays an advertisement for a faux TV series called Detroit Murder Files that is covering the death of his iconic alter ego, Slim Shady.
“Through his complex and oft-criticized, tongue-twisting rhymes, the anti-hero known as Slim Shady has had no shortage of enemies,” the narrator announces. Then his long-time friend and collaborator 50 Cent makes a cameo in clip saying, “He’s not a friend, he’s a psychopath.”
The narrator then continues: “The same rude lyrics and controversial antics may have ultimately led to his demise. Join me as we recreate the events that led to the murder of Slim Shady.” Eminem makes an appearance as the trailer closes, noting: “I knew it was only a matter of time for Slim.” And a graphic then notes: The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace) Summer 2024.
It sounds like Metro Boomin wants in on the new Shady LP. “Somebody please tell Eminem I’m tryna lock in!!!” the super producer tweeted after the trailer was shared on social media by Eminem but he most likely won’t be featured on the album but who will make an appearance? Below is the list of artists and producers who are supposed to appear on the album based on their social media activities.
WHITE GOLD
Singer, songwriter, and producer White Gold is definitely on the list. The Bronx, New York-born artist has previously collaborated with Eminem and Royce 5’9″ on several songs. Those tracks include “You Gon’ Learn” and “Zeus” from Eminem’s Music to Be Murdered By (Deluxe) album and “Black Savage” and “Hero” from Royce 5’9″s The Allegory album. White Gold shared Eminem’s new album trailer on his Instagram with the caption: “Summer 2024. See you then.” And that makes us think another Gold & Slim track is on the way.
DEM JOINTZ
Aftermath producer Dem Jointz, who is locked in the studio with Dr. Dre almost all the time and who has previously produced Dr. Dre’s “Medicine Man,” featuring Eminem, Candice Pillay and Anderson .Paak, Eminem’s “Never Love Again” and DJ Khaled’s “Use This Gospel (Remix),” featuring Kanye West and Eminem, shared Eminem’s teaser-trailer video on his Instagram with the caption: “THE DEATH of SLIM SHADY (COUP DE GRÂCE) This Summer’s Gone Be Crayzay!”
FREDWRECK
Another Aftermath producer, Fredwreck, the man who brought Slim Shady back on Revival album by producing “Framed” track. Flint, Michigan-born musician posted the teaser trailer on his Instagram story with the caption: “Summer 2024!!!! @eminem”
Eminem’s longtime collaborator Skylar Grey shared Eminem’s album trailer on her Instagram story, but that does not mean anything. She might just be supporting Em by doing so but considering how many tracks the two have created together through the years, it’s hard to imagine an Eminem album without Skylar Grey feature.
ROYCE DA 5’9″
There is no doubt Royce to be on the new Eminem album. Fans have been asking for Bad Meets Evil for more than a decade now so we might get another taste of the two top tier lyricist going back and forth. Em’s last solo studio album was 2020’s Music To Be Murdered By and Royce was a part of 4 tracks on the project. He was featured on “You Gon’ Learn,” featuring White Gold, “Yah Yah,” featuring Black Thought, Denaun and Q-Tip and “I Will,” featuring Kxng Crooked and Joell Ortiz. He also produced “Darkness” and “You Gon’ Learn.” Royce was also in the studio when Eminem played the album for Dr. Dre.
DR. DRE
During his visit with Jimmy Kimmel, Dr. Dre confirmed that he got some heat on new Eminem album: “Let me tell you something. Let me explain something right now. Eminem is working on his own album which is coming out this year and I actually talked to him and he said it was okay for me to make that announcement right here on this show. So yeah, the album coming out, I got songs on it and it’s fire. I’m actually going to hear entire album for the first time tomorrow. He holds his music close to his chest so I have not heard everything. I have not even heard everything complete that I’ve done but I’m gonna hear it and he’s putting out album this year. There are things on there that I have to mix that I’ve done but I got a chance to hear album in its entirety.”
50 CENT
New 50 Cent and Eminem banger is long overdue. During a recent conversation with DJ Whoo Kid, Em said: “50 Cent and Eminem collaboration album? Where that come from? I don’t know whose idea that was but that’s crazy. Yo, I’m trying to get him to make another album so bad. We need another 50 album, like, really bad bro. 50’s on the roll right now. He’s been on the roll since the tour and I told him he needs a f–king…whatever he needs from me, I’m here. That’s sh–t be crazy though, an album with me and him.”
EZ MIL
The newest Shady Records signee was in the studio with Eminem during a listening session with Dr. Dre. Few days after that, Ez Mil went live on Instagram where he was acting shady when talking about the session and said that he can’t say a word about the potential new music with Em. The two have already made a song called “Realest” but a song on Eminem’s new album would be a great promotion for young Pipelines artist.
