Eminem shares cover art & pre-save link for “Houdini”

Posted on By

Guess who’s back? Shady’s back, back again (but probably for the last time). Eminem is on an album mode and his 12th solo studio album titled The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) is slated to arrive this summer with the first single “Houdini” dropping this Friday.

The Detroit icon has cryptically dropped easter eggs and hints about the project while many details in regards to possible features and a concrete release date have remained under wraps. Eminem officially announced the project following his appearance at the Detroit NFL Draft in April 2024 in support of his hometown Detroit Lions. The album announcement came in the form of an Unsolved Mysteries episode featuring Em meeting his demise in search of “who killed Slim Shady?”

The Death Of Slim Shady will serve as Marshall’s 12th solo studio album, and first since 2020’s Music to Be Murdered By, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 to give Eminem his historic 10th consecutive leader.

Earlier today, Eminem shared a post on social media with caption “Please do not try this at home. Or anywhere else,” in which the Detroit legend FaceTimes with magician David Blaine and asks him for “help with something.” “I was wondering, how far can we go with this magic? Like, can we do like a stunt or something?” Em asks Blaine, who drinks a glass of wine and then proceeds to bite off the rim of it. “Well for my last trick, I’m going to make my career disappear,” says Eminem, while clicking off of the conversation. “Houdini” would be the first offering, and a short clip of the instrumental seemingly plays at the end of the clip.

Now, Eminem has just shared the cover art and pre-save link for the single. On the cover, a magician is holding a microphone without touching it, with devilish creatures flying around it. The magician is also wearing a hot with ace card and backwards E printed over it and a Jason mask which is a symbol of Slim Shady. “Guess who’s back? And for my last trick…” is writer over the cover.
