Eminem's “Revival” gets release date

As promoted via an elaborate joke advertising campaign for a fake prescription drug, “Revival” is actually the name of the new Eminem album, which will be released on December 15, according to another joke video posted on Dr. Dre's Instagram, reports Variety.

The album, which the rapper has teased for several months, is his first since 2013's “Marshall Mathers LP 2”. He dropped a single called “Walk on Water” — featuring Beyonce — on November 10 and performed the song, along with a medley of older hits, with co-writer Skylar Grey on “Saturday Night Live” November 18, and on the MTV Europe Music Awards on November 12.

While “Water” is a downbeat, self-lacerating musing on what he apparently feels is his inability to live up to his audience's expectations, some fans were more encouraged by “The Storm”, an a capella freestyle that premiered during the BET Hip-Hop Awards that eviscerated President Trump in classic Eminem fashion.
