After being hailed as a "Rap God" earlier this month, Eminem will defend his status as a "monster" on the mic when he releases his third single from his new album "The Marshall Matters LP 2" next week.
Just in time for Halloween, Slim Shady is slated to drop "The Monster" featuring Rihanna on Monday, Oct. 28, according to HipHop-N-More. The single will premiere in Em's home town of Detroit on radio station 98.7 AMP.
Shady and Rhianna first teamed up in 2010 when they made the chart topping hit "Love The Way You Lie."
Eminem fans in Australia are also in for a treat; the iconic rapper will kick off a tour in the country early next year. Plus, he's bringing rap sensations Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole along with him.
According to Billboard, the hip-hop superstar will headline four stadium shows in February. The run will open with Eminem's first-ever date in New Zealand on Feb. 15, followed by performances in each of Australia's big-three cities: Melbourne on Feb. 19, Brisbane on Feb. 20 and Sydney on Feb. 22.
Promoter Paul Dainty's Dainty Group promises that the concerts, which are billed under the name "Rapture," will be a "game-changing hip-hop event."
In addition, Australian hip-hop star 360 will join the bill as will New Zealand rapper David Dallas, who is confirmed to play in Auckland, New Zealand.
General tickets go on sale Oct. 31, but the pre-sale starts Oct. 24. Ticket prices for all dates range from about $95 to $290 USD.
