Eminem and Rihanna Make Another ‘Monster’ Track

Eminem-and-Rihanna-monsterEminem and Rihanna are two of the biggest names in music, and the duo are collaborating again on Slim Shady’s new album. Eminem premiered his new single “Monster” featuring Rih-Rih and it sounds like another hit.

According to billboard.com:

“While Eminem raps about his ‘Monster’ haunting him, Rihanna embraces hers. The singer flexes her vocal skills on the hook to Em’s latest:  ‘I’m friends with the monster that’s under my bed/ Get along with the voices inside of my head/ You’re trying to save me/ Stop holding your breath/ And you think I’m crazy/ Yeah, you think I’m crazy/ Well that’s not fair.’

“The duo’s chemistry is undeniable. Prior to ‘Monster,’ Rihanna was featured on Eminem’s 2010 hit, ‘Love the Way You Lie’ and Em, in turn, appeared on ‘Part II’ of the song (‘Love the Way You Lie (Part II)’) featured on Rihanna’s ‘Loud’ album.”

“Monster” sounds like an old school rap song as it blends genres with Eminem’s rap vocals, rock guitars, and Rihanna’s pop-style singing of the chorus.

“Monster” is from Eminem’s new album The Marshall Mathers LP 2, which is being produced by Rick Rubin and Dr. Dre and is scheduled to released next week.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
