Tell your friends because Slim Shady is back! Eminem just keeps racking up the hits as he has decided to drop a second “greatest hits” album. The forthcoming release, entitled Curtain Call 2, follows the first volume which hit shelves in 2005.

The announcement was made via the “Love the Way You Lie” rapper’s Instagram account and featured what appeared to be a reference to the Illuminati. In the image, Eminem’s face is surrounded by towers, an airplane, and numbers. He, himself, is projecting a horned hand signal on his forehead. 

“#CURTAINCALL2 DROPS 8/5 – HIT THE LINK IN BIO FOR ALL DETAILS,” read the caption. 

As expected, the original Curtain Call: The Hits featured songs that Marshall Mathers became famous for, such as “The Real Slim Shady,” “Lose Yourself,” “Without Me,” and “Mockingbird.“ The sophomore edition will draw from his 2009 album, Relapse, onwards. 

In addition to the 49-year-old singer’s biggest tracks, Curtain Call 2 will include “The King and I” which he recorded for the recent Elvis Presley biopic, as well as his collaboration with Snoop Dogg, “From the D to the LBC”. Another new single is also expected to drop in the next few weeks.

Curtain Call 2 is out on August 5.
