Less than a month after announcing his next album, „The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace),” Eminem revealed that its first single, „Houdini,” will arrive this Friday.
In a post on Instagram, the rapper FaceTimes with magician David Blaine asking for „some help.” „I was wondering, how far can we go with this spell? Stunts or something?” M asks Blaine, who drinks a glass of wine and starts biting the rim of the glass. „For my last trick, I’m going to make my life disappear,” M said, clicking through the convo.
Little is known about Eminem’s 12th studio album, which he previously said would be released this summer. „Houdini” will be the first offering, and a short clip of the instrumental plays at the end of the Instagram clip.
While M keeps the details for „The Death of Slim Shady” under wraps, his longtime collaborator and mentor, Dr. Dre let some details slip earlier this year. In March, Dre appeared on „Jimmy Kimmel Live!” He revealed that Eminem was working on a new album there. He also shared that he contributed several songs to the project and plans to listen to the album for the first time the day after his TV appearance.
In April, M announced „The Death of Slim Shady” with a Detroit Murder Files crime show teaser that aired during the NFL Draft. Earlier this month, he published a fake obituary in the Detroit Free Press to bid farewell to his longtime alter ego, Slim Shady.
