Eminem unveiled a surprise album, Kamikaze, at midnight on Thursday. The LP includes a song from the Venom soundtrack, which he teased on Twitter prior to Kamikaze‘s release.
A surprise release is a first for Eminem, who has rarely bent to the changing whims of the music industry over his 20-year career. If the release strategy was new, though, the Kamikaze cover pays homage to a hip-hop classic, the Beastie Boys’ Licensed to Ill album.
