[NEW MUSIC] Eminem feat./ Rihanna- “The Monster”

If there is one thing that has stayed true over the past three years is that Eminem and Rihanna will collaborate at least once a year. On their fourth collaboration, the pair team up on the Frequency-produced song “The Monster” off Eminem’s up coming album The Marshall Mathers LP 2. 

On the synth-heavy, Top 40-ready production, Eminem battles with internal demons rapping lyrics such as, “I’m getting so big I need a shrink” to illustrate the point.

Eminem will be on this weekend’s Saturday Night Live episode (November 2nd). The Marshall Mathers LP 2 will be in stores on November 5th.
