Sept. 9 (UPI) — Eminem will perform new songs when he opens the MTV Music Video Awards show Wednesday.
The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), which dropped in July, is the first new album from the 51-year-old rapper since 2020.
He described his latest project as “conceptual,” and said the 19 songs were meant to be listened in a specific order for the meaning to shine through.
Tracks include “Tobey” with Big Sean and BabyTron and “Somebody Save Me” with Jelly Roll.
