As one of modern music’s longest-serving titans, Eminem has proven repeatedly that he can sell major units on the merit of his name alone.

However, for his eighth studio album, the ‘Marshall Mathers LP 2’, the Hip-Hop force has invited a number of major names to join him including Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna. As many will recall, Slim Shady’s pairing with the latter spawned global smash ‘Love The Way You Lie’ in 2010.

The “reveals” came in the form of the project’s official tracklist, which was unveiled moments ago by the rapper himself on his official website.
