It's the second single from his upcoming 12th studio album Eminem has teased a new single, ‘Tobey’, featuring rappers Big Sean and BabyTron. It’s the second single from his upcoming 12th studio album, ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)’ , which is set for release later this year. The iconic rapper has brought together two of his fellow Detroit natives for the track, and shared a trailer on Friday (June 28).
“TOBEY🕷️🐐 @babytron @bigsean new music 7/2 video 7/5 by @colebennett ,” he wrote on Instagram alongside the clip, sharing that the single will be released on July 2, with the video coming three days later. In the clip, Eminem is revving a chainsaw and gushing blood in a Jason Voorhees mask, slicing up a body while BabyTron and Big Sean look on. Sean references Spider-Man, rapping: “ Tobey Maguire got bit by a spider/But me, see it was a goat .
” A post shared by Marshall Mathers (@eminem) ‘Tobey’ is Eminem’s first collaboration with BabyTron and his fourth with Big Sean – they’ve worked together on the tracks ‘No Favors’, ‘Friday Night Cypher’ and ‘Detroit Vs. Everybody’ in the past. It follows on from ‘Houdini’, which was released on May 31 and interpolates a number of Eminem’s previous hits as well as ‘Abracadabra’ by the Steve Miller Band.
The song garnered controversy as it references the shooting incident involving Megan Thee Stallion in 2020, as well as the transgender community, cancel culture, and RuP.
