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)
