Eminem drops off the second single from his upcoming album 'The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup de Gràce)' titled 'Tobey'.  Em teams up with Big Sean and Babytron to bring the GOAT's of Detroit to the forefront on a pretty solid outing with all 3 playing their parts well.  If 'Houdini' had Em getting back on his Slim Shady shit then this one definitely caters more to the modern Eminem fan.  The switch of styles between 'Houdini' and 'Tobey' leaves more interest in the kind of diversity Em's new album will provide.  Check out the new single here -  Eminem - Tobey (featuring Big Sean and Babytron) (Audio)

Eminem is back with the lead single, and video, from his upcoming 'The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup de Gràce)' album, which is due for release in the summer, titled 'Houdini'.  The second half of Eminem's career ('Relapse' to present) has seen a lot of hits and misses however it's hard to debate Em's contributions to the Hip-Hop culture.  The song samples the Steve Miller Band's, 1981 hit, 'Abracadabra' and the video nods to the video for Em's video for 'Without Me' from 2002.  The single is a throwback his 'The Eminem Show' album so it should be interesting to hear what the rest of the new album sounds like.  'Houdini' is catchy, dope and a good little throwback to his early 00's days!!!  Check out the video here -  Eminem - Houdini (Official Video)

Benzino drops yet another diss on Eminem, after Em went after him on 'Doomsday Pt. 2', however this one goes surprisingly hard!!! Is Benzino anymore lyrical than when he was during the first Zino vs. Em beef, in 2003/4, well...no however he does drop four and a half minutes of straight facts that can't really be debated. Running through the amount of artists on Shady who left the label with nothing more than a chain and occasional feature. He also runs through all the entertainers Em has dissed but he also throws out a list of Hip-Hop artists, who have gone at Em, that he never responded to. This track definitely questions Eminem's credibility as an MC and a label owner. A surprisingly dope record from Benzino that's even had the 'Stans' showing there respect for. Check out the track here -  Benzino - Rap Elvis (Eminem Diss) (Audio)
