Rapper Eminem has unexpectedly released his new 11th album, Music to be Murdered By. This was reported by Rolling Stone.
Alongside the new album, Eminem released a video for the song "Darkness". The video shows footage from a concert, as well as audio recordings and scenes of gunfire in Las Vegas. When the video ends, a call to participate in a vote appears.
"Make your voice heard and help change gun laws in America," — says the closing text, inviting viewers to register at Vote.gov.
The new album includes tracks recorded with Ed Sheeran, Juice WRLD, Q-Tip, Black Thought, Young M.A, and Anderson .Paak.
Eminem announced the album on Twitter on January 17, sharing the cover and writing: "These are your funeral..." The rapper also noted that the album was inspired by the record Alfred Hitchcock Presents Music To Be Murdered By, which was produced with the participation of director Alfred Hitchcock.
In October 2019 Eminem was questioned by the US Secret Service over threats against Trump in his tracks. The performer rapped during the interrogation.
Eminem also ranked 6th on Forbes magazine's list of the highest-paid rappers of 2019, with earnings of $50 million.
