Eminem calls The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace) a “conceptual album,” warning fans how to get the best experience when tuning in after it drops.
“Public service announcement: the ‘death of slim shady’ is a conceptual album, therefore, if you listen to songs out of order they might not make sense,” he wrote on X. “Enjoy.”

Only a month after igniting the music world with “Houdini,” the first single off his upcoming album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), Eminem returns with “Tobey.”
Featuring fellow Michigan hip-hop heavyweights BabyTron and Big Sean, “Tobey” presents a new, yet familiar side of Eminem. The track, layered over a sparse beat by producers Daniyel, Cole Bennett, John Nocito, Car!ton, and Marvy Ayy, showcases the trio’s lyrical prowess and the vibrant musical landscape of Detroit rap.
Eminem first teased “Tobey” via a short video on his social media on June 29, hinting at the return of his hockey-masked Slim Shady persona. The teaser also included a snippet from the Cole Bennett-directed video set to release this Friday, July 5. “Tobey” is the second single from Eminem’s highly anticipated 12th album, slated for release on July 12.
The album’s first single, “Houdini,” dropped on May 31 and became an instantaneous global hit. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard Global 200 and Streaming Songs charts and at #2 on the Hot 100. “Houdini” continues to dominate, sitting in the top 20 of the Spotify Global and US charts, the Apple Music Global chart, and the Top 40 and Rhythmic radio charts. It is Eminem’s highest-charting single since 2013’s “The Monster” and his first to chart on Rock radio.
With “Tobey,” Eminem proves once again that he remains a powerhouse in the hip-hop world.
