Eminem Surprise Drops New Album ‘Music to Be Murdered By’
Eminem has just surprise-released a new album called Music to Be Murdered By. The new album features a verse from the late Juice WRLD.
Black Thought, Q-Tip, Ed Sheeran, Young M.A, Anderson.Paak, and others also appear. Dr. Dre has credits for production throughout.
In addition to the new album, Em released a video for “Darkness.” It depicts a shooting at a concert, and then there’s audio and footage from the mass shooting in Las Vegas.
As the video ends, there’s a plea encouraging people to register to vote. “Make your voice heard and help change gun laws in America,” the closing text reads, directing viewers to register at Vote.gov.

A quick review
On Unaccommodating, he references his feud with Machine Gun Kelly before saying “bombs away”.
Then, he referenced the 2017 Manchester concert bombing that killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert. It is not the first time he has referenced the bombing in a song.
Eminem also released his last album Kamikaze as a surprise in 2018. It featured a song called “Fall” that dissed Earl Sweatshirt and insulted Tyler, the Creator with a homophobic slur.
“Fall” featured a contribution from Justin Vernon, who openly expressed his disapproval of the song’s message. Eminem later walked back his verse about Tyler, saying he felt it went “too far.”
On the Music to be Murdered By song No Regrets, Eminem once again references both rappers with a more apologetic tone, saying his anger was misplaced.
