Eminem to drop second single off “The Death of Slim Shady” album.
Eminem continues the rollout for his new album “The Death of Slim Shady” as he announced the second single titled “Tobey.” The song will feature fellow Detroit rappers Big Sean and Babytron, along with a music video by Cole Bennett.
The song will drop on 2nd July, followed by a music video on 5th. “Tobey Maguire got bit by a spider, but see, me, it was a goat,” BabyTron says in the trailer, which shows Eminem in Jason mask along with a chainsaw. “Death of Slim Shady,” wrote Big Sean on his social.

This is the second single by Eminem, and it followed up on the hit track “Houdini” which dropped last month. “Houdini” debuted at number 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The single was streamed 48.8 Million times and moved 49,000 units. This is Detroit rapper’s 23rd Top 10 hit, and highest charting song since 2014 Rihanna collab “The Monster”, which debuted at number 1.
Houdini also debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. US charts. It is his first ever number 1 on the list that started in 2020. It also earned #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
This is the first time since 2017’s project “Revival” that the Detroit emcee started a proper album era, as he released two albums in 2018 and 2020 as surprise projects. It’s been four years since Shady last dropped an album when he dropped his eleventh studio effort “Music To Be Murdered By” in 2020, and a deluxe side b edition in the same year.
