After Aftermath producer Dem Jointz confirmed that Eminem’s Music To Be Murdered By deluxe edition is on the way, designer Mike Saputo also confirmed that the cover art, which has recently surfaced online, is real and was done by himself.
@Shadysteriods Instagram account posted a private chat with Mike Saputo, who has previously worked with Eminem and Royce Da 5’9″ in several occasions, where the designer confirms the realness of the cover. Check out the screenshot below.
Lonesarrmuzik who is co-producer of Symbolyc One and who helped produced Eminem’s “Nice Guy” and “Normal” has also hinted something on Instagram. Check the screenshot below:
Aftermath producer Dem Jointz, who has produced “Never Love Again” and “Lock It Up,” featuring Anderson .Paak on Eminem’s Music To Be Murdered By album, has just confirmed that SIDE B is coming.
On his Instagram post, Jointz posted the collage of album cover arts that he produced this year, including the cover of Music To Be Murdered By (Side B): “Even Thru The Shit-Storm, Thank God For Another Successful Year!” – says the producer.
Dem Jointz was heavily involved in the production of Dr. Dre’s “Compton” album where he produced “Medicine Man,” featuring Eminem, Candice Pillay and Anderson .Paak, “Genocide,” featuring Kendrick Lamar, “Deep Water,” featuring Kendrick Lamar and Justus and “Satisfaction,” featuring Snoop Dogg, Marsha Ambrosius and King Mez.
Due to COVID-19 pandemic, with all the concerts being canceled and local restaurants and bars being closed, many musicians have been left out of work.
Now Detroit is giving back to local musicians who have been struggling to stay afloat this year because of the pandemic.
Starting from August, events raised almost $431,000 for nearly 450 area musicians. About half of that money came from a grant arranged by Oakland County. With the help of a GoFundMe page, The Arts, Beats And Eats Musicians Fund raised approximately $83,000. $16,000 was generated from a drive-in concert weekend in Royal Oak.
Eminem’s Marshall Mathers Foundation, with Royce Da 5’9″ as a board director, contributed $25,000.
“It was incredible to have the opportunity to collaborate with local musicians, to actually get live shows going in 2020 and help people who have really had their careers slammed to a halt. There is definitely a sense of optimism for mid to late summer of 2021. It is rough right now, but we are celebrating the chance to do some good, and we have hope for getting live music back in the community next year.” says Jon Witz , director of Arts, Beats & Eats
On this day, exactly 3 years ago (December 15th, 2017), Eminem released “Revival,” the highly anticipated 9th studio album. It’s the follow-up to 2013’s The Marshall Mathers LP2.
The album was promoted using a cryptic marketing campaign for a fake pharmaceutical company in late October 2017 but the official release date was first announced by Dr. Dre via Twitter, on November 29th, 2017.
“Revival” became Eminem’s 8th consecutive album to top the US Billboard 200, where it opened with 267,000 album-equivalent units, making Eminem the first musical act in history to have 8 entries in a row debut at its summit.
Although the album was one of the best selling albums in 2017 and went platinum in dozens of countries, commercially it’s still the worst performing album in Eminem’s catalog (excluding “Infinite”). Critics also didn’t favor the album as they called it ‘one of the weakest Eminem albums in his career’
HotNewHipHop launches The Twelve Days of Christmas. For the next twelve days as we lead up to Christmas, they will be dropping a new interview with a different figure in the hip-hop and pop culture. They kick it off on Day #12 with KXNG Crooked. Check out the interview below:
There really have been a lot of great verses this year. Who would you say, in this hypothetical verse of the year battle, who would you predict to be your biggest competition?
Something from Royce, something from Eminem. You know, they call us the holy trinity of lyricism, me, Royce, and Em. They put the church emoji when they talk about it. So definitely something from Royce, something from Em. I think Benny got it in this year. I think Black Thought got it in this year. That verse Black Thought did, well, any verse Black Thought did. The verse Black Thought did on Russ’ project, that’s a stellar verse. Benny too. So you got a lot of dudes out there who drop some killer verses.
Eminem is always in the talks. I don’t care, they love to hate him. And a lot of people have been trying to push my homie out of the culture. They been making sly remarks – people with platforms. And this ain’t just me speaking from a homeboy level, this me speaking from a fan and a technician myself. You can’t push Marshall out the game. He’s one of the greatest pens to ever exist in Hip-Hop, and it ain’t gon change no time soon. They always get me when I talk about Em. But Eminem is one for sure. Royce got nominated for a Grammy, so you know his pen was going crazy.
Obviously, I liked the Abraham Lincoln scheme. “I Will” has a lot of great things, but from Music To Be Murdered By? Verse of the Year level, I don’t know. In terms of Em’s what verse I would nominate…Verse 2 on “Marsh” was pretty good.
Yeah, that one’s dope.

Earlier this year, Eminem and late rapper Juice WRLD teamed up for the first time on “Godzilla,” a single from Eminem’s 11th solo studio album, Music To Be Murdered By.
About a month later, Eminem launched the #GodzillaChallenge which encouraged fans to spit the fast verse in creative ways, lip syncing or rapping, on the Triller app in order to win a shout out and signed lithograph.
The song debuted at No. 3 on Billboard Hot 100 and officially beat “Rap God”s speed in Guinness World Records book.
Google has also revealed the most searched lyrics of the songs in the United States and “Godzilla” makes it into Top 3. Check out Top 10 below:
After Eminem’s photo of him being in font of a green screen surfaced online, everybody thought new music video was coming.
Today, another never-before Eminem picture surfaced online and reportedly it’s the cover art for “Music To Be Murdered By” Side B, deluxe edition.
This is either biggest hoax we have heard in the last decade, or a confirmation that new material from Eminem is on the way this Friday!
On the cover, there is Raven sitting on Eminem’s shoulder, just like Alfred Hitchcock for “The Birds” movie.
The Birds is one of Alfred Hitchcock’s most famous horror-thriller films. This new photo of Eminem could mean that a Deluxe to Music to be Murdered By is coming. pic.twitter.com/6Kar50TpiV
White Gold, who is featured on Music To Be Murdered By on a track “You Gon Learn'” along with Royce Da 5’9″ has also hinted he has another song on deluxe edition and it’s titled “Demons and Zeus”
On Friday, Production company ATTN and Barack Obama announced that they are teaming up to launch a 5-part video series that highlights some of the biggest themes from the 44th president’s new memoir, A Promised Land, the book that became the bestseller in 2020.
“When I needed inspiration on the presidential campaign, I often turned to music. Ultimately it was rap that got my head in the right place, two songs especially: Jay Z’s “My 1st Song” and Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself.” Both were about defying odds and putting it all on the line (“Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment, would capture it? Or just let it slip…”)” – Obama said, reading a passage from his book.
Eminem responded Obama on his Instagram story with folded hands emoji. You can check out the screenshot below:
Eminem’s manager, Paul Rosenberg also praised Obama’s taste:
Couple of days ago, a picture of Eminem rapping in front of a big green screen surfaced online. The photo instantly sparked the rumors of Eminem dropping the new music video.
Based on the theory provided by one of the Southpawers, @CeaTee_Reviews, this might be true. Read every detail carefully below.
1. In the leaked photo, there are white little dots on the green screen. They are for multiple layered effects.
It is used so they can put something behind Eminem and in front of him at the same time. Like they did it in “Godzilla” music video:
That’s a special green screen that is rarely used for music videos but that’s exactly Cole Bennett’s style. Few days ago, Cole Bennett posted a pictures of a same setup of the green-screen on his Instagram stories:
2. About a week ago, Cole Bennett was in Michigan! Detroit! 8 Mile Road!
3. “It’s gonna be a big December. As of right now there are three videos coming out in December. I can’t say what they are but they are all very special in their own way.” – Said Cole Bennett in an interview few days ago.
4. Kxng Crooked jokingly told fan something related to Eminem happening in mid-December, but was it a joke, at all?!
5. Eminem got really active on Twitter lately. This usually happens when Eminem is preparing to drop something! Em made about 10 tweets in 1 month time span. This is unusual.
6. Why Conway The Machine and Westside Boogie’s albums were pushed back to 2021? Is Eminem releasing something? Tell us your theories in the comments of our social media accounts!
After an incredibly successful year, the Kentucky wonder kid Jack Harlow is now ready to take the next step in his career by dropping his much anticipated debut solo studio album That’s What They All Say which features guest appearances from Lil Baby, Lil Wayne, DaBaby, Chris Brown, Big Sean and Adam Levine among others.
We are celebrating Jack Harlow’s album release with the throwback video of him and his team dropping Eminem bars on Nick Cannon on Wild N’ Out.
“Too smooth like I’m undercover/ I take your girl undercover / Too smooth, ain’t no light brother / Don’t disrespect my white brother” raps Harlow while pulling up Eminem T-shirt to Nick Cannon’s face.
Later, Nick Cannon posted a picture on Instagram, saying how good taste Jack Harlow has in t-shirts:
In an effort to reach younger audiences with his new book, A Promised Land, the former president of the United States, Barack Obama is bringing portions of the book to Instagram with a new series.
On Friday, Production company ATTN and Barack Obama announced that they are teaming up to launch a 5-part video series that highlights some of the biggest themes from the 44th president’s new memoir, a book that became the bestseller in 2020.
”In my new book, A Promised Land, I share the story of what inspired me to pursue public service and the ups and downs in my first few years of my presidency, but I wanted to share some of the most important moments with you,” Obama said in one of the video.
“That is why I am teaming up with ATTN: for a new series talking about some of the biggest moments that defined those years for me,” Obama added.
In one of his recent videos, Barack Obama recites lyrics from Eminem’s 2002 hit single “Lose Yourself” — a song which helped the president to pump him up on the 2008 campaign trail, as he writes in the book.
“When I needed inspiration on the presidential campaign, I often turned to music. Ultimately it was rap that got my head in the right place, two songs especially: Jay Z’s “My 1st Song” and Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself.” Both were about defying odds and putting it all on the line (“Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment, would capture it? Or just let it slip…”)” – Obama said, reading a passage from his book.
