Eminem Teams Up with 2 Chainz and DJ Premier for Bonus Edition of “The Death of Slim Shady”
Eminem is making waves in the music industry once again with the release of the bonus edition of his latest album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grรขce).” This time, the Detroit rap legend has teamed up with two iconic figures in the industry: DJ Premier and 2 Chainz.
The collaboration features a track titled “Kyrie & Luka,” produced by DJ Premier and featuring verses from both Eminem and 2 Chainz. The song pays homage to Dallas Mavericks stars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, with Premier incorporating elements of Eric B. & Rakim’s classic “Move the Crowd” into the beat.
The bonus edition, dubbed the “Steve Berman Edition,” also includes a skit with Interscope Records vice chairman Steve Berman, as well as two bonus tracks, “Kyrie & Luka” and “Like My Shit.”
With first-week sales projections estimating between 270,000 and 290,000 album-equivalent units, “The Death of Slim Shady” is poised to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. This would mark Eminem’s 11th No. 1 album, putting him in the company of music legends like Kanye West, Bruce Springsteen, and Barbra Streisand.
Despite opening at the lower end of the spectrum compared to some of his previous albums, Eminem’s latest project is expected to outsell his more recent efforts like “Revival” and “Music to be Murdered By.” With the support of fans and the star-studded collaborations on the bonus edition, Eminem’s reign on the charts shows no signs of slowing down.
