Guess who's back? Back again?
One of the most famous rappers of his generation has been reasonably quiet in recent years, aside from the odd collaboration on singles with the likes of Ed Sheeran and Snoop Dogg.
He recently turned up to the unveiling of Dr. Dre's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, while his mentor revealed in an interview that day that a new Eminem album was on the way.
It turns out that Dre was telling the truth, as the Detroit rapper's 12th studio album 'The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace)' will be released this summer.
Eminem's last album was 2020's 'Music to Be Murdered By', which - like his previous album, 2018's 'Kamikaze' - was released with no prior warning to fans.
Although this one has given fans more notice, the details are scant - although the title suggests that it may be the last we hear of his infamous alter-ego Slim Shady.
A teaser trailer for the album sees a fake crime reporter tell the camera: Through his complex and oft-criticised tongue-twisting rhymes, the anti-hero known as Slim Shady has had no shortage of enemies … rude lyrics and controversial antics may have ultimately led to his demise."
50 Cent also turns up, describing Slim Shady as a "psychopath", while Eminem himself concludes the report by saying "I knew it was only a matter of time for Slim."
The release date has yet to be announced, but you can expect it to be one of the big albums of summer 2024.
