After a two-day takeover of downtown Detroit for back-to-back Monster tour performances at Comerica Park, Eminem has announced the release of his ninth studio album titled, Shady XV.
Marking the 15th anniversary of his debut album The Slim Shady LP (certified quadruple platinum), Eminem has marked November 28, 2014 (Black Friday) as the new project’s release date. According to Rap-Up, a photo teaser was posted to Em’s website, but quickly removed.
The official release announcement will take place during Sunday evening’s VMAs (for which Eminem is nominated for seven awards) as the soundtrack for The Equilizer trailer, starring Denzel Washington. Shady XV‘s first single, which features Sia, is titled “Guts Over Fear.”
Eminem teased fans in Detroit by wearing a t-shirt bearing “Shady XV” during his second performance at Comerica Park. Following the performance, Em and Rihanna accepted and completed the ALS “Ice Bucket Challenge.”
