It is anticipated that Eminem’s next album will be released shortly, and the release of its second single is now only a few days away.
The 51-year-old rapper, who is working with fellow Detroit MCs Big Sean and Babytron on his new single, “TOBEY,” released a black-and-white video on Friday, June 28. The song will be further improved by a music video directed by Cole Bennett three days after it goes public on July 2.
The youngest of the three may be heard rapping over the trailer, “Tobey Maguire got bit by a spider, but see, me, it was a goat,” alluding to Sam Raimi’s Spiderman trilogy (2002–07).
In the teaser, Em is seen beheading a human-shaped chalk outline while standing close to his criminal accomplices. All three of them are dressed in jumpsuits, but the D12 boss sticks out since he’s got on a hockey mask that reminds him of Jason Voorhees from his early years.
In order to commence the release of his twelfth studio album, Eminem published an obituary for Slim Shady, his fictional alter ego, last month.
It was originally published in the Detroit Free Press in mid-May and focused on the upcoming film The Death of Slim Shady (Coupe De Grâce).
“Fans ‘Will Never Forget’ [The] Controversial Rapper” was the subheading of the article, which was accompanied by a photo of the 8 Mile performer wearing the mask seen above.
The body of the text stated: “A native of Detroit, Shady started out as a renegade member of the thriving underground rap scene in the mid-to late-1990s. He first gained widespread recognition in 1999 when his humorously bizarre song ‘My Name Is’ was released. The visually striking video further popularized the young performer and his lyrics.
In the end, what at first glance appeared to be his instruments became into calling cards that characterized a life that could only end abruptly and horrifyingly. His torturous and complicated life is coming to an end, and the legacy he leaves behind is as far from resolved as the way this figure left this planet. I hope he is able to discover the serenity in the hereafter that he was unable to achieve on Earth.
