The Raw & Honest: Eminem, Drops A Surprise “Side B”
In the spotlight is none other than the ‘Rap God’, Eminem, himself. The rapper has dropped “Music to Be Murdered By – Side B” out of the blue. And, literally, the internet has come to a hold.
The Missouri-born rapper has often been credited with popularising rap in America, bringing it into the mainstream. And, if that wasn’t enough of an achievement, his path in music, is almost always paved with raw honesty.
“Side B” arrives 11 months after Eminem surprise-released “Music to Be Murdered By” (featuring guest spots from Juice WRLD, Ed Sheeran, Young M.A, Anderson .Paak and production from Dr. Dre.), which followed 2018’s surprise-dropped “Kamikaze.”
Further, the ‘Slim Shady’ rapper has etched his name in the world of Hip-Hop forever. With raw and vulnerable lyricism and a sick flow, Eminem knows how to connect with people. And, what’s more – you’ll never mistake him for anyone else. So, as we celebrate his landing in the Artist of the Week spotlight this time around, let’s dive right into some of his best moments in rap. And, grab your diaries; you may want to make notes.
