Eminem has surprised fans by releasing a new album, Music to Be Murdered By – Side B.
The follow-up to his January album, Music to Be Murdered By, this new record features collaborations with Dr Dre (“Guns Blazing”, “She Loves Me”, “Discombobulated”), Ty Dolla $ign, DJ Premier, and Skylar Gray.
Eminem’s last surprise album was followed up by a performance at the Academy Awards in February, harking back to his Oscar win for “Lose Yourself” in 8 Mile. This time around, he made a cameo in a Saturday Night Live sketch parodying his 2000 superfan song “Stan”, ahead of the release.
The new record, which has been rumoured for the last few days, includes mentions of Covid-19 and an apology to Rihanna.
On the track “Zeus”, he references a decade-old song that leaked in 2019 that featured lyrics about “siding with Chris Brown”. He raps: “And wholeheartedly apologies Rihanna for that song that leaked/I’m sorry, Rih, it wasn’t meant to cause you grief/But regardless it was wrong of me.”
Along with the album, Eminem also released the Cole Bennett-directed video for “Gnat”.
