Eminem is back with "Campaign Speech", a vitriolic eight-minute stream of consciousness - it's more like performance poetry than classic Shady.
The production's barely there - the beats are sparse and erratic, with orchestral stabs fading in and out, almost like a low-key Arca. The focus is clearly on Eminem's voice and rhyme-stuffed spiel - there's a lot going on here.
Eminem's last album was released in 2013. He's confirmed that he's working on the follow up though:
Don't worry I'm working on an album! Here's something meanwhile. https://t.co/QX3cdpqFD2
