Music to Be Murdered By is the eleventh studio album by legendary Detroit rapper Eminem. The surprise album serves as a follow-up to Kamikaze and is the rapper’s first endeavor of 2020. The project is a double-album, including two labeled introductions and one labeled outro.
The double-album was inspired by Sir Alfred Hitchcock (August 13, 1899 – April 29, 1980), one of the most influential and prominent directors and filmmakers of all time, who also titled his debut 1958 album, Music to Be Murdered By. Throughout the course of Em’s project he references Hitchcock numerous times, including on the secondary cover art, “Alfred (Interlude),” “Little Engine” and “Alfred (Outro).”
The album features 12 artists across eight songs, including a third collaboration with Ed Sheeran, a track with the late Juice WRLD and three tracks with frequent collaborator, Royce da 5'9".
