Tobey – Eminem ft. Big Sean & Babytron
Rap icon Eminem dropped “Tobey,” the second single from his highly anticipated album “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),”. This electrifying track features fellow Detroit natives Big Sean and the rising star BabyTron, marking BabyTron’s first official team-up with Slim Shady.
Produced by a dream team including Eminem himself, Car!ton, Cole Bennett, Daniyel, John Nocito, and marvy ayy,”Tobey” promises a unique soundscape. While details remain under wraps, early reports suggest a minimalist beat contrasting with the frenetic energy of Eminem’s previous single, “Houdini.”
The excitement doesn’t stop there. A Cole Bennett-directed music video is slated for release on July 7th, further amplifying the anticipation surrounding this potential Shady swan song. “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)” is set to drop on July 12th, leading many to speculate if this might be Eminem’s final chapter under his iconic Slim persona.
Lyrically, “Tobey” delves into a range of themes, including reflections on Eminem’s illustrious career, his enduring influence on hip-hop, and his signature sharp retorts to critics. BabyTron’s chorus injects the track with pop culture references, weaving in nods to Spider-Man, Detroit fashion, and even Star Wars.
With an official audio track already generating buzz and a music video on the horizon, “Tobey” signifies Eminem’s continued reign as a rap titan. This Detroit reunion not only showcases the evolution of a legend but also underscores Slim Shady’s unwavering presence in the ever-changing soundscape of hip-hop.
Quotable Lyrics:
Life is a gamble and I’m playin’ slots
Pull it down, close my eyes, and I pray I win tokens
All wide, no pop, how we drive
BD come and took a baby sip, still tasted this potent
One of one, sittin’ right the stars, double R
Finna race, yeah, the wraith like a spaceship, it’s floatin’
