Eminem has released his much-teased new song “Houdini,” and it comes with a music video directed by Rich Lee. Both the track and visual call back to Eminem’s 2002 hit “Without Me.” The clip has cameos from Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Pete Davidson, comedian Shane Gillis, and others. It also finds Eminem donning his Robin costume from the “Without Me” video. Plus, there are wannabe Slim Shadys, calling back to the rapper’s 2000 MTV Video Music Awards performance. Watch “Houdini” below.
Before dropping his new track, Eminem did a teaser video with magician David Blaine. In the clip, Blaine eats a wine glass; Eminem, meanwhile, says, “Well, for my last trick, I’m gonna make my career disappear.”
Along with the single, Eminem has also been teasing a new album, likely to be called The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). The LP will follow 2020’s Music to Be Murdered By. A release date has not yet been revealed, but it is expected to land in the summer.
