Eminem has announced his new album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace), which will be released this summer.
A trailer for the album was revealed Thursday evening during the NFL Draft. Eminem himself appeared at the draft alongside past and present members of his hometown Detroit Lions.
In the trailer, a true crime reporter discusses the death of Eminem’s longtime alter ego, Slim Shady. “Through his complex and oft-criticized, tongue-twisting rhymes, the blonde anti-hero known as Slim Shady has had no shortage of enemies,” he says.
The clip gives way to Eminem’s longtime collaborator, 50 Cent, who says, “He’s not a friend, he’s a psychopath.” The reporter adds, “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.”

Welcome to this review of this past Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, right here on Nerdly… Let’s see what went down on this week’s show!
Match #1: Drew McIntyre and Matt Riddle def. Imperium The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Although Intercontinental Champion Gunther dragged Drew McIntyre out of the squared circle, he was quickly neutralized by the flying knee of Matt Riddle. The Original Bro then locked up Ludwig Kaiser as The Scottish Warrior blasted Giovanni Vinci with the Claymore Kick for the victory.
