Following his already legendary headline performances at Reading and Leeds Festivals this weekend, Eminem has premiered his brand new single, 'Bezerk'. Listen to the track below.
The track heavily samples Beastie Boys 'Fight For Your Right To Party' as well as Billy Squier's 'The Stroke', as Slim Shady returns to his most hyped up and energetic in one of the most fierce and volatile tracks that we've heard from him in years.
Produced by Dr Dre and Rick Rubin, 'Bezerk' is taken from his upcoming album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2 - due for release in November. The album is the official follow-up to his 2000 release, The Marshall Mathers LP, which is the biggest selling record of his career. To date, the album has shifted 27,000,000 copies worldwide. It also spawned singles including his career-defining 'Stan', which he performed at Reading Festival this weekend with original vocalist Dido.
Listen to 'Bezerk' by Eminem below:
Shady Records signings Slaughterhouse recently told Gigwise that the rapper would return with a 'surprise' for fans.
Rapper Royce Da 5' 9" told us, “I’m not really allowed to talk about it. Em’s whole thing is the element of surprise. That’s how it’s always been with him.”
“He gets in to his own world,” says Joell Ortiz. “But c’mon... that’s Eminem. That’s the homie now. I’m sure we’ll be working with him for it.”
Over the past six months Eminem has been photographed in studios with the likes of comedian Chris Rock and rapper Big Sean - whose recent “Control” leak caused an internet frenzy due to the featured Kendrick Lamar verse - as well as TDE’s Ab Soul and Kendrick Lamar himself, but no official details have yet been released. The release date and title of Eminem’s upcoming eighth album is still TBA.
The Marshall Mathers LP 2 will be released on 5 November, 2013.
