Eminem has made a powerful return to the music scene with the release of “Houdini,” the lead single from his highly anticipated upcoming album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce).” The track, produced by Eminem in collaboration with Luis Resto, is already generating buzz for its dynamic composition and sharp lyrical content.
“Houdini” features a notable sample from the Steve Miller Band’s 1982 hit “Abracadabra,” seamlessly blending the classic rock vibe with Eminem’s distinctive rap style. The song showcases Eminem’s signature ability to weave complex narratives and punchy references into his music.
In “Houdini,” Eminem name-checks fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion, adds commentary to Drag Race host RuPaul , and makes references to the infamous 2016 faked kidnapping by Sherri Papini. True to the song’s title, Eminem also draws a parallel between himself and the legendary escape artist Harry Houdini. The question remains why is he trying to vanish? Could this upcoming album be Eminem’s final project or a new chapter to his career?
With “Houdini” setting the stage, fans and critics alike are eagerly awaiting the full album’s release to see what new directions Eminem will explore.
“The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)”, is set for release this summer.
