SURPRISE albums are truly a treat for a deserving fan base, and last weekend, rap superstar Eminem treated listeners to another fierce collection of tracks in the form of “Kamikaze,” the rapper’s 10th record in a little more than two decades.
The album’s lyrical themes mainly revolve around the rapper firing back at critics of his last album “Revival,” and some of his issues with modern hiphop (mumble rap, overused triplets and ghost writers, to name a few).
Check “Kamikaze” on digital music streaming platforms.
