Shady is back, back. Eminem has revealed the release date for his 12th studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Finishing blow).

The LP is set for release on July 12th, and Em made the announcement on Monday (July 1st) in true Slim Shady fashion with a horrifying trailer featuring the birth of a demon baby.

“OH SHIT!!! SLIM SHADY DEATH (COUP DE GRACE) 7/12,” ​​Eminem captioned the post.

In the scary trailer, a woman is seen giving birth to a baby and it’s a scary situation with the baby not breathing until the doctor gives him a few slaps to wake him up.

But they realize they are not safe and are dealing with another type of being when the baby opens his eyes and they are completely black.

In shock, the newborn slips out his tongue and grows a pair of horns as everyone in the room screams, “Holy sh–t!” “Houdini” provides the outro soundtrack with the album name and release date officially revealed.

“I haven’t felt this excited for an album in so long,” one fan responded on X.

It’s a busy first half of July for Eminem, who will release a second single and follow-up to “Houdini” with “Tobey” featuring fellow Detroiters Big Sean and Babytron on Wednesday (July 3). A Cole Bennett-directed visual for the Tobey Maguire-inspired track will be released on Friday (July 5).

“Houdini” proved to be a chart victory for Eminem, with the lead single earning him his highest-charting Hot 100 hit of the decade, with the track debuting at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.
