Eminem releases expanded Mourner's Edition of “The Death of Slim Shady”

In keeping with the theme, Eminem has a surprise in store for this Friday the 13th. The rapper has announced that he will release the Expanded Mourner's Edition of his latest album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),” later this week, and announced the project with a trailer posted on X (formerly Twitter).

In the clip announcing the new release, Em walks into a supermarket and grabs a carton of milk from the fridge. He then drops it on the floor, revealing a missing ad on the side of the carton featuring his alter ego Slim Shady. As he leaves the store, producer Alchemist jumps out from behind the counter and tells him never to come back.

It's unclear what will end up on the Expanded Mourner's Edition of the album, but it's safe to assume it will include new tracks – possibly produced by Alchemist. The rapper initially released “The Death of Slim Shady” in July, along with the singles “Houdini,” “Tobey” featuring Big Sean and Babytron, and “Somebody Save Me” featuring Jelly Roll.

The Death of Slim Shady marked the end of a chapter for Slim Shady and was presented as a concept album that let his obscene and crass alter ego out of the cage for one last hurrah. Shady was a consistent figure in Eminem's music from the beginning, with his more obscene material attributed to his evil counterpart.

Eminem has been performing around the world to mark the album's release, including in London, Detroit and Los Angeles. He is scheduled to open the MTV Video Music Awards tomorrow night.
