Eminem's new "Slim Shady" album releases Friday

The intrigue: Eminem teased his album with an obituary for his alter ego, Slim Shady, in the Detroit Free Press in May.

• Since then, he live-debuted his new single, "Houdini," in front of locals at Michigan Central Station's opening and teamed up with Big Sean and Ypsilanti's BabyTron for his latest single, "Tobey," which dropped last week.

💭 Sam's thought bubble: Shoutout to BabyTron's manager Lando Bando, who told me in 2021 they were going to get an Em feature — you did it!
