Eminem has officially released the deluxe edition of his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grce), on September 13, 2024. This version, titled the Expanded Mourner's Edition, features the new track "Fuel," which includes collaborations with Westside Boogie and Grip. Additionally, it brings back previously released tracks, including "Like My S**t" and "Kyrie & Luka," the latter featuring 2 Chainz.
Fans can also look forward to the comedic "Steve Berman Skit" included in this edition, designed for dedicated supporters of the artist. The heightened anticipation for this deluxe version was influenced by Eminem's announcement as the opening performer for the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. Following this announcement, a cinematic trailer for the album expansion was shared via X, showcasing a humorous take on Eminem's character in a convenience store mishap that inadvertently leads to a "missing persons" ad rooted in his Slim Shady persona.
The original version of The Death of Slim Shady achieved remarkable success, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 281,000 units sold in its first week, cementing Eminem's status with ten consecutive solo No. 1 albums and eleven overall. This album features collaborations with notable artists such as Big Sean, BabyTron, Bizarre, and Ez Mil, while incorporating over 80 references to famous personalities in its lyrics.
The full tracklist of the Expanded Mourner's Edition includes hits like "Renaissance," "Evil," and "Houdini," alongside skits that reflect Eminem's iconic humor and storytelling capabilities.
