Eminem has officially announced the upcoming release of an extended edition of his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grce). The new version will be titled Mourner's Edition and is set to feature four additional tracks, including a skit, along with high-profile collaborations. One of the standout tracks, "Fuel," includes contributions from artists Westside Boogie, Gripp, and Kyrie & Luka, featuring 2 Chainz.

The announcement comes after a visual teaser released earlier this month, showcasing an unusual encounter between Eminem and producer The Alchemist at a convenience store, generating significant buzz among fans.

The original version of The Death of Slim Shady enjoyed remarkable commercial success, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. During its first week, the album sold 281,000 equivalent album units, marking Eminem's 11th No. 1 album. This achievement ties him with prominent figures such as Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, and Ye for the fifth-most No. 1 albums in history.

Furthermore, the album set a record for the largest sales week for a rap album in 2024 and recorded the second-largest sales week for any digital album this year, falling just behind Taylor Swift. Fans can access Mourner's Edition for streaming on major platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. For additional details, check out Hypebeast.
